Cutsheet for LC80FX & LC65FX
High Performance In-Wall/In-Ceiling Loudspeakers
Timber-matched to Polk Audio’s LCi-Series High Performance Loudspeakers, the LC65FX and LC80FX make the ideal In-wall
and in-ceiling surround speakers respectively. LCFX surround speakers have a switchable “Solid” and “Diffuse” imaging feature
to create the surround effect you desire. Paintable, powder-coated aluminum grilles and flanges enable these speakers to virtually
disappear in your room. Rust-resistant hardware and durable, moisture resistant materials ensure long-term reliability. Both LCFX
surround models install easily, and the LC65FX uses the LC65’s preconstruction bracket and performance enclosure.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Polk Audio LCFX Surround Loudspeakers give you nearly endless placement
options. But remember that where you place your surround speakers requires
some careful thought, as installation requires that you cut a hole in your wall
or ceiling
Center

Right
Left/Right Orientation: LCFX Surround Speakers have a left/right orientation,
and each speaker is clearly marked on its baffle for installation on either the
right or left. Right and left are defined from your listening area as you face
your system’s center channel.
Directing the Driver (LC80FX)
The fixed 15° angled driver in the LC80FX allows you to direct the midrange
towards your listening area when used for front stage (left-center-right). When
used as rear surrounds or as 6.1 or 7.1 back speakers, direct the driver towards
the listening area for a more direct sound field or toward a wall for a more
diffuse sound field

IMAGING
Solid/Diffuse Switch (LC65FX/LC80FX)
LCFX Surround Loudspeakers offer switchable “Solid” and “Diffuse” imaging
patterns to create the surround effect you desire.
Surround Right
Surround Left
A “Diffuse” image is defined as one which creates a “cloud” of sound; think
of the effect as ambient sounds which fill the environment all around you.
A “Solid” image is one which creates a more pin-point sound; sound is more
directional and localized. Ultimately you are the best judge of what kind of
surround imaging you prefer.

ROOM ENVIRONMENT CONTROL
Wall Distance Switch
In-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers excel when placed more than 2' (60cm) from
side walls. If position limitations demand that in-wall loudspeakers be installed
closer than 2'(60cm) from side walls, the proximity of the surface can result in
a response “bump” between 50 and 200Hz. This can cause in-wall speakers
to sound “boomy.” The Wall Distance Switch flattens response and tunes out
“boominess” without sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound.

If placement is closer than 2' to a wall: Engage the Wall Distance Switch
(“Wall Dist.”) to match the <2' setting. Recommended speaker distance from
side walls is 2 feet (60cm).
