Total Control, Total Custom Sound
TCi Series in-wall/in-ceiling loudspeakers are the performance alternative for custom installed sound systems. They give you superior sound and superior value.
Use round TCi speakers anywhere you need high performance sound but don’t have the room or the desire for even the smallest of freestanding loudspeakers.
Mix and match TCi in-wall/in-ceiling loudspeakers with Polk Audio RTi Series loudspeakers to create a voice-matched system boasting a realistic surround sound environment without the space requirements of traditional speaker systems (RTi front stage, TCi rear surrounds for example).
TC610i Features:
Sold singly (packaged one per box). Single units can be used for center channel applications in stealth installs!
Dynamic Balance® polymer composite driver for smooth wide-range response with low distortion.
Aimable 3/4-inch silk dome tweeter with neodymium magnet for clear, detailed highs and direct control; excellent imaging even for off-axis listening positions.
Wide dispersion design for uniform sound-coverage throughout even large rooms.
Durable, moisture resistant materials, including butyl rubber surrounds, for safe use in kitchen, bath & sauna.
Infinite baffle tuning uses the virtual enclosure of in-wall space for superior bass response.
Paintable, powder-coated aluminum grilles allow TCi Series speakers to virtually disappear in your room!
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 60 (Polk Part # AW0061-A).
Timbre-matched to the whole Polk Audio RTi Series of high performance loudspeakers.
All Polk Audio 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 Audio loudspeakers are built to perform for a lifetime.

Highs are clear/loud/strong -- I punish these speakers. Installation procedure/mechanism is very clean/solid. Aimable tweeters -- Utilize them!
Weaknesses:
Slightly concerned about the open/exposed back design in a ceiling cavity, ie if mice find their way, could be game over...plan accordingly...
Review:
Going with ceiling speakers vs traditional wall/floor standing for music listening was not a quick/easy decision....not a lot of rave reviews on ceiling sound/projection in general...think cutting 8" holes throughout your living room ceiling without a lot of wiggle room to reconfigure... Overall, keep some (loose) basics in mind, keep the speaker 2 ft from walls, no closer than 5 feet together, no further than 10 feet apart. Also keep your expectations in check, if you want bass, get a good sub to supplement, I did this before even hearing the speakers and would do so again after hearing them. So far I'm driving 4 speakers (have 10) with 80 watts a channel in a rectangular configuration/living room that is open to the extent of 20x20 and these speakers are very clear/clean and very loud... I didn't go into it expecting bass -- they excel at highs, people turn their heads like puppies when they hear a plucking guitar/vocals.

very average. OK for background music. Try the TC60i for greater range on surround sound rear speakers. Install very easy and blend in well.
