Polk Audio RC80i - Round In-Ceiling Speakers
Step into a world of clear, high-definition sound that literally envelops you. The Polk Audio RC80i - Round In-Ceiling Speakers are a majesty to behold and even more splendid to experience. Designed for easy drop-in installation, these in-wall in-ceiling speakers come with a precision flange and Perfect Fit templates for seamless embedding within your home architecture.
The in-wall and in-ceiling space act as a "virtual enclosure", enhancing bass response, and ensuring a smooth blend of low-frequency sounds with the midrange. The RC80i speakers sport lightweight, stiff blue polymer cones for exceptional damping and bass response. Resilient, computer-modeled, injection-molded butyl rubber surrounds suppress unwanted cone resonances, guaranteeing a lifetime of reliable, high-fidelity sound. Experience audio accuracy and realistic imaging like never before, thanks to their aimable swivel tweeters.
The high-moisture suitable RCi Series speakers sport rustproof stainless steel hardware and durable butyl rubber surrounds. Their powder-coated aluminium in-ceiling and painted steel in-wall grilles make them fit for use even in a steamy bathroom or the eaves of an enclosed porch. With paintable grilles that blend seamlessly into any room and advanced technology that ensures seamless blending with traditional speakers, the Polk Audio RC80i speakers bring high-end, immersive audio experience right within the comfort of your home.
Features:
Easy Installation: The RC80i comes with one-cut, drop-in installation, Perfect Fit templates, and a precision flange, ensuring a seamless fit into your home architecture. Also, optional pre-construction brackets are available for optimum placement possibilities.
Excellent Sound Quality: Using your in-wall and in-ceiling space as a "virtual enclosure", these speakers enhance bass response and seamlessly blend low-frequency sounds with the midrange for superior audio performance.
Durable Construction: Made with rustproof stainless steel hardware, durable butyl rubber surrounds, and powder-coated aluminium and painted steel grilles, they are suitable for use even in high-moisture areas or under the eaves of an enclosed porch.
Aimable Swivel Tweeters: These tweeters increase accuracy and provide more realistic imaging, delivering a cinematic sound experience.
Paintable Grilles: The RCi Series speakers have grilles that are paintable to blend seamlessly into any room, making them virtually invisible when installed.
