80F/X-RT
With in-ceiling surrounds, sound comes washing down over you, submerging you in ambience. And there are no visible loudspeakers to get in the way of your decor. The 80F/X-RT is priced right, so in-ceiling design is more accessible than ever. Plus, customized audio controls give you even more placement flexibility, for optimum surround effects and maximum interior design wow-factor.
Practically Invisible In-Ceiling Surround Effects
Hiding your surround speakers in your ceiling and painting them to match your decor enhances the illusion of surround-sound. The 80F/X-RT includes custom audio controls to optimize any installation position (above or behind your seating area) for more realistic effects.
Vanishing 80F/X-RT Features:
Vanishing® Series built-in speakers feature our exclusive wafer-thin Sheer-Grille™, a magnetically-secured grille that protrudes only 7mm from its surroundings. Sheer-Grilles have nearly transparent, ultra-small perfs, and are acoustically inert, for dynamic, unimpeded sound and more uniform coverage, even in larger rooms.
Painted to match your décor, Vanishing Series built-in speakers are virtually indistinguishable from their surroundings.
Vanishing Series RT speakers are timbre-matched to Polk RTi speakers to insure utterly seamless blending from speaker to speaker in systems that combine traditional and built-in speakers.
Dual bandpass bass ports are highly efficient in small enclosures, and smoothly funnels the angled woofer’s low frequencies down around the driver array, eliminating “chuffing,” so your small, practically invisible in-ceiling speakers achieve superior full-range blending and broad coverage with surprisingly deep bass.
Easy one-cut, drop-in installation puts built-in audio within reach, with Perfect Fit templates, a precision flange, and (available) pre-construction brackets; achieve secure, vibration-free efficiency with a simple turn of the patented Rotating Cam system.
All Polk products are made using the best materials and the most advanced manufacturing techniques. They pass the industry’s most exhaustive quality tests, including drop testing, extreme signal response and UV & salt exposure testing. Polk loudspeakers are built to perform for a lifetime.
