LCi Control

LCi Control



The LCi Series of High Performance In-Wall and In-Ceiling Loudspeakers give you more control over your sound than any other in-wall speakers.

Take advantage of this innovative Polk technology, and use these controls to tailor the sound of your LCi Speakers perfection, no matter where they are installed.

Wall Distance Toggle
(all models) - If positioning limitations demand that your in-wall loudspeakers be installed closer than 2’ from side walls, the proximity of the surface can result in a response "bump" between 50 and 200Hz. This can result in "boomy" sound. The LCi Wall Distance Toggle Switch adjusts the crossover to flatten response and tune out "boominess" without sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound, and for more flexible placement.
Corner placement can cause
elevated midbass bloat (red line).

-3dB Tweeter Attenuation
(all models) - Smooth walls, glass windows and luxurious hardwood floors furnished with modern metallic furniture. Does that describe your listening room? Reflective surfaces like these can make sound "brighter" and cause image distortion. Engaging the LCi Tweeter Attenuation feature (by selecting the "Low" setting) lowers the tweeter level to compensate for the effect of reflective surfaces. LCi Tweeter Attenuation cuts the level only in the 4-5kHz range, exactly where reflectivity destroys sound quality, leaving detailed and accurate high frequency response for warmer, more realistic sound.

without sacrificing
top octave "air."

Off-Axis Targeting
(Round models only) - Round LCi models feature a 15° Driver Offset for better midrange clarity and imaging. It/’s easy to forget, once they/’re installed, that this offset drive unit influences directionality. Sitting directly under an in-ceiling LC60i is "off-axis"! To compensate for off-axis listening situations, the round model LCi Loudspeakers feature an innovative Off-Axis Targeting Switch. Engaging this function
Center line represents
the on-axis aim of the
offset driver.
"fills in" the perceived mid-range dropout that off-axis listeners may detect, extending directional imaging an additional 15°, improving off-axis imaging and filling the room with well-rounded, high performance sound. With LCi/’s Off-Axis Targeting feature, no one is "off-axis."
Off-Axis Targeting boosts
the highest frequencies,
improving imaging throughout the room.
