RC80i features a beefy 8" woofer - to produce the maximum amount of bass from an in-ceiling speaker. Perfect for areas requiring big, rich sound without the big speaker cluttering up your room. Its wide dispersion capability means you'll hear great sound no matter where you are in the room.
Out Of The Box Installation
RCi is incredibly easy to install. Wire them up, pop them in the wall or ceiling, screw down the Rotating Mounting Cams with a screw driver, pop the grille on, turn on the stereo and you're done.
Durable Hardware For a Durable Speaker
RCi series speakers use rugged stainless steel hardware and special grilles for years of dependable performance. In-ceiling speakers come with a powder-coated aluminum grille, while in-wall speakers use a painted steel grille.
Swivel Tweeter
You can aim freestanding speakers, so why not installed speakers? All RCi speakers feature a swiveling tweeter* to allow you to aim it toward the listening area for greater accuracy.
Dynamic Balance and Klippel Optimisation
Like all high quality Polk speakers, the dome tweeters and polymer drivers in all RCi series speakers are both Dynamic Balance and Klippel Optimized. Dynamic Balance allows us to see the operation of the component on a microscopic level, reducing or eliminating artifacts that color the sound. Klippel Optimization ensures the speaker will perform well at both low and high volumes levels. For more information, click here for Dynamic Balance and here for Klippel Optimization.
Blue Polymer Woofers with Rubber Surround
Provide excellent damping and bass response while resisting deterioration. Your RCi Speakers may last longer than the house they're installed in. Other speakers use flimsy paper cones and foam surrounds that can fall apart.
Paintable Grille
Allows you to make your speakers disappear completely into your painted walls (but you can always leave them white too). Use caution though, you might forget where you put them.
Timbre Matched
The RCi Series speakers are timbre matched to our freestanding speakers - such as Polk Monitor, TSi and OWM series, just in case you need in ceiling surround speakers to match your freestanding fronts.
