"Traditional loudspeakers get tuned. In-wall loudspeakers get HOPE." - Matthew Polk

LC265i features:

  • The LC265i is packaged one to a carton and priced as each to allow you to purchace single units for center front or center rear (in 6.1 channel systems) applications.
    "Aerating" the Poly Cone
    adds damping without adding weight,
    for great sound and high efficiency.
  • Polk’s patented Power Port bass venting system for extended deep bass response, improved efficiency and lower distortion. The LC65i and LC265i models are the first in-wall speakers to feature the patented Power Port bass venting system for superior bass response and low distortion.
  • Aerated Polypropylene Dynamic Balance™ Cones: stiff and yet surprisingly lightweight—20% lighter than conventional polypropylene and 35% lighter than aluminum cones for spectacular midrange clarity, punchy bass and high efficiency.


  • 15° swivel aims the Ring
    Radiator Tweeter for excellent imaging,
    from any listening position.

    Ring Radiator Tweeters (the same tweeters used in the LSi Series) for smooth, extended highs with incredible accuracy and astonishing detail.
  • 15° swivel tweeters for direct high frequency control and excellent imaging even for off-axis listening positions.
  • LC265is are packaged one per box. Use single units for center channel applications.
  • Timbre-matched to Polk Audio’s LSi Series Ultra High Performance Loudspeakers.
  • Wide dispersion design for uniform sound-coverage throughout even large rooms.

  • A Polk Custom
    Performance Enclosure
    turns your in-wall space
    into a virtual speaker cabinet.
    Composite Driver Basket® construction: composite driver baskets keep moving parts in rigid alignment and damps performance-robbing resonance.
  • Glass-filled Composite Baffle provides a dense, acoustically inert platform for the speaker’s high end components.
  • Rust resistant hardware and durable, moisture resistant materials for safe use in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas, even under outdoor eaves.
  • Tweeter Level Switch lets you tailor the highs for your room acoustics.
  • Wall Distance Toggle Switch flattens frequency response when installation requires placement near a corner or adjacent wall.
  • In-wall Performance Enclosures are available for exact volume enclosure performance in pre-build installations. Use AW0267-B with LC265i.
  • Turn the Rotating Cams,
    and the speaker is solidly installed.
    Easy as 1-2-3.
    Installation is easy as 1-2-3: cut one hole, feed the wires, and simply drop the speaker in. Rotating Cams secure the speaker safely with no extra assembly or mess.
  • Pre-Construction Brackets available for new construction or major renovation. Use PB LC/TC 265 (Polk Part # AW0266-A).
