Sound everywhere

Big spaces big sound

The beefy big 8-inch woofer of the RC80i makes a big beastly impact, with the maximum amount of bass you’re likely to encounter from an in-ceiling speaker. The RC80i is perfect for areas requiring big, rich sound with good coverage, but with no room for traditional speaker clutter. Designed for superior wide dispersion, you’ll hear great sound no matter where you are in the room.

Premium materials

Lightweight and stiff blue polymer cones deliver excellent damping and bass response. Durable, computer-modeled, injection-molded butyl rubber surrounds suppress unwanted cone resonances for a lifetime of reliable sound. Aimable swivel tweeters for greater accuracy and more realistic imaging.

Baffle tuning

With infinite baffle tuning, RCi speakers utilize the “virtual enclosure” of your in-wall and in-ceiling space to enhance their bass response and smooth low frequency blending with the midrange.

Questions

Hello. I have an older set of RM2350 speakers that still work great. I am looking to add the RC80i for atmos and a 7.1 system. I have the denon Avr 970h. Will these new speakers work well with the old speakers? 

Asked by: Scott918
Hello. Yes, the two will blend nicely with each other. Polk Audio speakers will be closely timbre matched across various series and in this case you will find the RC80i to work in tandem with your existing RM2350s adding a nice touch in your Dolby Atmos system. Happy listening!

I want to get 23 sets of these speakers is there an amp that can hold about 43 speakers at once and if not what amp do you recommend for each room

Asked by: Realestate
Hello, I recommend you look at the Denon HEOS Drive HS2 unit. To power 46 speakers or 23 sets, you will need 6 Denon HEOS Drive HS2 units. It has enough power to drive our RC80i speakers and can be controlled with the HEOS app. Power, Volume, and Song selection can all be done with the free HEOS app. The HS2 will also allow for either local or audio distribution to all rooms. Please see the attached link for further details. https://www.denon.com/en-us/product/amplifiers/heos-drive-hs2/137195.html

If insulation is involved do I need to put a barrier to prevent it from coming into contact with it?

Asked by: Hamilton
Hello, this depends on the type of insulation in place. For loose Blow-In insulation, push it aside during installation. For Blanket/Roll insulation, the speaker may be pushed up against the insulation.

I’m purchasing the R600 or 700 speakers with r100 rears and will need atmos speakers. Will the RCi80 work well with the Reserve line of speakers for atmos? Running a Marantz cinema 50

Asked by: Enzo
Enzo, you are assembling quite a system. We are proud to be a part of it. Yes, the RC80i speakers will work well with the Reserve series. However, I do recommend that you consider the V80 in-ceiling speaker. The V80 offers a grill-to-grill cosmetic look (no outer frame) while providing a bit more dynamic sound quality.

Are these speakers mono or will it play both left and right channels

Asked by: Smenke
The Polk Audio RC80i In-Ceiling speakers are designed to playback a single channel. A pair of RC80i are required for LT and RT playback. For stereo playback from a single speaker, please consider the Polk Audio V6S or RC6S,

Does the rc80i require installation brackets or is the cam system sufficient for a ceiling installation?

Asked by: DonS
Hello, the Polk Audio RC80i in-ceiling speaker comes equipped with mounting brackets. No additional bracket is required. The round shape and flush-design allow the RC80i to mimic the look of a recessed lighting fixture. Each speaker requires a cutout of 9.375" and a mounting depth of 3.25". Each speaker frame has a diameter of 10.685". Once the holes are cut, each speaker can be dropped in and the Rotating Cams can be tightened, allowing you to secure each speaker to the drywall without any extra assembly (the Rotating Cams protrude out 0.625" from the cutout opening). If you will not be mounting these speakers in drywall, make sure the wall or ceiling material can safely support the weight of the speakers before installation; each speaker weighs approximately 4.5 pounds.
