Control Your Audio Online
CAT-5-ready, the two IP-ready SC Series models (one for in-wall installation, one for in-ceiling installation) quickly become a part of your home network, and give you the ultimate control over your playlist, throughout your home. Your network will automatically bypass the speakers’ passive crossover, switching to a bi-amp mode. IP control actually enables a significant performance improvement, including better phase characteristics, lower overall distortion and improved sensitivity. When used in conjunction with a Netstreams Digilinx System (not included), preloaded Digital Signal Processing (DSP) settings smooth frequency response and increase bass, for utterly superb, uniquely controlled digital speaker performance. It’s the state-of-the-art in audio control, at a price that you can really control.
SC85-IPR Features:
IP-ready SC Series models have standard wire connections for existing audio systems, and may be upgraded later to IP control; simply flip the easily accessible toggle switch to choose standard wire connections or IP control.
One-cut easy installation in existing walls or in new construction, for pros or DIYers alike, with no extra assembly and no additional cutting. (Pre-construction brackets are available separately.)
Polk’s exclusive Rotating Cam system ensures stable, secure, vibration-free placement with the turn of a screwdriver.
Polk’s proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance® technology allows our engineers to design out distortion-causing driver and system resonances, so you only hear the good sounds.
Dynamic Balance silk dome tweeters, in aimable swivel housings, deliver clear and detailed highs, without fatigue, for greater accuracy and more realistic imaging.
Paintable grilles & flanges make SC Series speakers virtually invisible.
SC Series built-in speakers share cutout sizes and hardware components with other Polk built-in speaker series, so you can more easily upgrade your built-in speakers at any time.
Durable, moisture-resistant materials like stainless steel hardware and a powder-coated, rust-proof aluminum grille allow you to install SC Series built-in speakers in extreme install locations like kitchens, bathrooms, and transitional areas like sunrooms and covered porches.
The SC Series is timbre-matched to all other Polk loudspeakers, for mix-and-match system-building and seamless, speaker-to-speaker perfection.
The SC Series features three of the most advanced built-in loudspeakers you’ll find: A single compact built-in loudspeaker that brings actual dynamic stereo sound to locations where two speakers just won’t work; two high performance IP-ready loudspeakers, allowing whole-home audio networking on a budget for the very first time, and a high performance built-in center channel speaker!
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.
