IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS Wall Or Ceiling Surface Preparation

If you're installing your Vanishing Series speaker into a heavily textured wall or ceiling (e.g. stucco or popcorn finish), you must prepare the wall surface immediately around the speaker cutout. Sanding and smoothing the wall or ceiling surface will ensure the speaker and grille both seat properly and flat to the surface.

LOUDSPEAKER INSTALLATION

You will need:

  • Pencil for marking the location of installation.
    Keyhole saw, utility knife or materialappropriate tool for cutting drywall or other wall material.
  • Screwdriver, preferably powered, with Phillips Head bit.
  • Power drill with appropriate bit (optional, for starting wall cut).

CROSSOVER WARNING

Exercise extreme caution when installing this loudspeaker so you do not damage the crossover.

POLK RC80i - CROSSOVER WARNING - 1

POLK RC80i - CROSSOVER WARNING - 2

SECURITY EYEBOLT

Your Vanishing Series in-ceiling loudspeaker has an eyebolt on the back of the speaker that can be used for an extra measure of installation security. Follow standard building code installation procedures in your area.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO PAINT YOUR GRILLES

Because of its ultra-thin profile, the Vanishing Series Sheer-Grille requires a specific painting procedure to ensure smooth, even coverage.

Important Note: Do not remove the grille scrim before painting.

Paint Recommendation

We highly recommend you use a can of spray paint matched to the ceiling color you want the Sheer-Grilles to blend with.

Important Note: Never use a brush or roller to paint the grilles, as this will clog the perforated holes.

To paint the Sheer-Grille

  1. Elevate the Sheer-Grille off of a flat surface. This will ensure even coverage of the grille frame and make it easier to pick up.
    Mounting Idea: A single spray can cap will raise the grille high enough.
  2. Hold the spray paint about 12^ from the grille and at a 45^ angle.

POLK RC80i - To paint the Sheer-Grille - 1

  1. Apply one light, thin coat, moving evenly side to side over the grille, then work your way around the perimeter of the grille to ensure you cover the grille frame.
  2. After each application of paint, wait approximately 1 minute, rotate the grille 90^ , and apply the next thin coat.

Important Note: You must rotate the grille 90^ . Use your hands to define the next 90^ rotation and always rotate the grille in the same direction of travel.

POLK RC80i - To paint the Sheer-Grille - 2

POLK RC80i - To paint the Sheer-Grille - 3

  1. Three light, even applications should cover the grille and frame adequately. Remember to work your way around the grille frame to cover it evenly and completely.

ROOM ENVIRONMENT CONTROLS

POLK RC80i - ROOM ENVIRONMENT CONTROLS - 1

Room Switch

If your listening room is very reflective, with smooth sheetrock walls, hardwood floors and non-cushioned furniture, the sound will be overly "bright" and unnatural.

Engaging the Room Switch (Reflective) compensates for the effect of reflectivity in a "hard room" by attenuating only the portion of the tweeter response that can cause harshness resulting in listener fatigue. This flattens room response without hindering higher frequency response, for warmer, more realistic sound and more accurate imaging.

If your listening room is not highly reflective, that is it has curtains, carpeting, and cushioned furniture, leave the Room Switch in its Normal setting (Norm).

POLK RC80i - Room Switch - 1

Wall Distance Switch (LS models only) In-ceiling loudspeakers excel when placed more than 2^ (60cm) from side walls. If position limitations demand that in-ceiling loudspeakers be installed closer than 2^ (60cm) from side walls, the proximity of the surface can result in a response "bump" between 50Hz and 200Hz . This can cause in-ceiling speakers to sound "boomy." The "Wall Distance" switch flattens response and eliminates "boominess" without sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound.

PLACEMENT OPTIONS

Polk Audio RCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers give you nearly endless placement options. But remember that placement choice for your in-wall speakers bears careful consideration, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall!

Fill a room with sound by installing in-wall speakers in nearly any wall or ceiling location [figure 1]. Polk RGi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers have a wide dispersion pattern and aimable tweeters that allow you to focus their sound.

ADJUSTING THE TWEETER

Aiming the tweter toward your listening position improves imaging and detail. When using RCI Series In-Wall Loudspeakers as front/main home theater speakers [figure 2], aim the tweter toward your listening position. For rear/surround speakers installed in walls or ceilings [figure 3], aim the tweter toward the nearest reflecting surface (an adjacent wall or ceiling) for a more diffuse sound field (if you so desire; for more direct sound, aim the twecters at your listening position).

RC55i, RC65i, RC85i models: Holding the edges of the tweeter carefully between the thumbs and force fingers of both hands, rock the tweeter slightly to aim it [figure 4]. RC60i, RC80i models: Grasping the round tweeter with the tips of the fingers of one hand, pivot the tweeter toward the direction you desire [figure 5]. Do not "turn" the tweeter like a door knob.

Note: RGI Series In-Wall Loudspeakers are not magnetically shielded and should not be placed closer than 1' (30cm) from a television or video monitor. If you experience discoloration or distortion, immediately move the speakers away from your TV.

RC5SI, RC6SI, RC8SI models: Holding the edges of the oblong with a single finger and the middle of the forefingers of both hands, rock the twenter slightly to aim it.

RC601, RC801 models: Grasping the round tweeter with the tips of the fingers of one hand, pivot the tweter in the middle of the finger.

  • Paint of your choice (to make the job easier, we recommend spray painting the grille)
    A paperclip or corkscrew (for removing the paintable grille, corkscrew can also be used to open the wine when you relax with your newly painted RCI speakers)
  • Masking tape
  • Paint mask (to cover unpaintable parts, supplied!)

PREPARING TO PAINT:

  1. Separate the parts of the speaker. If the speaker is not yet installed, the grille can be removed simply by pushing the clamp screws forward to push the grille off the speaker from the inside. If the speaker is already in the wall, carefully hook the grille with a bent paper clip and pull it gently away from the frame [figure 6].
  2. When painting the frame of the speaker, use the supplied paint masks to carefully mask off the front of the speakers to protect the drivers and baffles while painting. You can do this while the speaker is already installed in the wall (if, for instance, you're repainting the room). If you do not have the paint masks, carefully mask the speaker components using paper and masking tape.

PAINTING THE FRAME:

  1. Apply paint to exposed (unmasked parts). Use two or more thin coats. Spray painting is recommended [figure 7].
  2. When the paint is completely dry, remove the masking material.

PAINTING THE GRILLE:

  1. The grille of the RGi Series speaker features an event, protective powder coating. This powder coating is an ideal primer.
  2. Grilles must be spray painted. Do not use a brush and paint. Thick, brushed paint may clog the grille holes.
    3.RC55i,RC65i,RC85i models:Before spray painting the grille, carefully remove the grille's fabric scrim by peccing it away from the inside of the grille [figure 8].Place this on a clean, flat surface where it will not get wrinkled.

  3. After removing the grille by carefully hooking it with a bent paper clip and pulling it gently away from the frame, spray on two thin coats of finish color. If you're using a compressor and spray gun, use the finest, most diffuse setting. Be careful not to fill the holes in the grille with paint [figure 9].

  4. When the paint is completely dry, carefully install the grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just resting on the frame. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker and push the grille into the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle; the grille may be easily bent out of shape by rough handling. You will feel a positive "snap" when it is fully in place.
  5. RC55i, RC65i, RC85i models: When the grille is dry, carefully press the fabric seam back into place on the inside of the grille. The special fabric seam hides the speaker's drivers from view, and will not interfere with the sound.

Do not block grille holes with paint.

Out of the box and into the wall, that's how easy it is to install Polk RCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers.

If you intend to do the installation yourself we recommend that you possess some skill in the proper use of hand and power tools. You should have a thorough understanding of local building and fire codes and a familiarity with the area behind the wall or ceiling into which you plan to install your speakers. Install speaker wires before installing speakers. Wire meeting appropriate building and fire codes must be used. Use at least 18 gauge wire or heavier for the utmost in sound quality. Wiring is best performed by an experienced professional. If you are in doubt that you possess the necessary skills or tools, consult your Polk Audio dealer, or a professional installer.

YOU WILL NEED:

  • Pencil for marking the location of installation
    Keyhole saw, utility knife or materialappropriate incising implement forcutting drywall or other wall material
    Level
  • Screwdriver, preferably powered with Phillips head bit
  • Power drill with appropriate bit (optional, for starting wall cut)

  • Make sure the material into which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers (see specification page for the weight of your model).
    Make sure the locations you select do not conceal studs, electrical wiring or plumbing. Prior to installation, hold the speaker in your chosen location to make sure it safely clears obstacles such as stairs, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door-window frames. Your cutout must be at least 1^ (25mm) from adjoining walls or ceiling, internal studs or plumbing.
  • Using the template, trace the installation location with a pencil. You can do this by holding the template in your preferred location and tracing around it (rectangle) or within the template pop-out area (round). Use a level to make certain the template is straight and plumb. This is the exact cutout size [figures 10a & 10b].

  • Carefully cut the hole with the appropriate cutting tool for your wall or ceiling material. Start the hole by drilling a hole on the inside of the tracing (with the drill bit touching the line). Use this hole to insert the saw or knife and begin cutting [figure 11].
    Once you have cut the hole, fish your previously positioned wiring out of the hole and connect the speaker. Follow the hookup directions included with your receiver. Strip 1/2inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand (so you have two unfrayed strands). Note that one of the terminals is red (+) and the other is black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red terminal (+) of your amplifier or receiver to the red terminal (+) on your speaker and the wire from the black terminal (-) of your amplifier or receiver to the black terminal (-) on your speaker. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency [figure 12].

FIGURE 11

To install the speaker, first carefully remove the grille using a straightened paperclip or other pointed metal tool. Insert the point into one of the grille perforations near a corner and lift the grille free. Never use a knife or screwdriver to pry between the grille and the speaker frame. This will damage your speaker.
- Loosen the rotating wall clamps by unscrewing them. Make sure that the rotating wall clamps are flipped inwards so that your speaker fits into your cutout without nicking your wall. Then place the speaker carefully into the cutout [figure 13]. If you have a level, use it to help you correctly align the speaker. Tighten the wall clamp screws with a screwdriver. This will rotate the wall clamps and secure the speaker to the wall. Hint—on the RC55i, RC65i and RC85i models, tighten the center screws before tightening the corners for the most flush fit to your wall. Do not overtighten the wall clamp screws [figure 14].

  • Carefully reinstall the grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just resting on the frame. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker and push the grille into the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle; the grille may be easily bent out of shape by rough handling. You will feel a positive "snap" when it is fully in place. (Where's the corkscrew?)

When installing your RGi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers, be aware of the weight of your particular model (see specification page for the weight of your model) and the sturdiness of the material into which you are installing the speaker. Also be aware of any concealed studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or ceiling into which you are installing the speakers. If you are not sure of a safe way to install these speakers, consult a professional installer, your authorized Pink Audio dealer, or a building contractor.

If you plan to install your RCi Series speakers where water will directly contact them, it is advisable to use a silicone scallant or caulk between the frame of the speaker and the wall surface. This seal should prevent water from getting behind the loudspeaker and possibly damaging the wall surface. Do not position the speaker where water can pool on the surface of the woofer cone or tweeter dome, as this will great decrease the speaker's useful life (and everything will sound—glub glub!—like it's coming from under water!).
