The Polk Audio VS 80 F/X-RT make your favorite film soundtracks materialize with the crack of gunfire from behind, or the patter of footsteps across the room. Not only do the Polk Audio 80F/X-RT surround speakers fill your home theater with vibrant sound effects, they virtually vanish into the ceiling. These stealthy speakers are designed specifically to produce an enveloping rear soundstage, each one equipped with dual 3/4-inch silk/polymer tweeters and an 8-inch woofer. High-quality construction keeps the drivers in rigid alignment, and practically eliminates muddying resonance. These speakers are voice-matched to Polk's renowned RTi series of free-standing speakers, as well as the rest of the in-wall and in-ceiling RT Vanishing series.This item is available for local pickup.(Details) Authorized dealer. Sold with full warranty.
Full Range Audio: Extra deep well design with a Cassini oval woofer mounted above and behind the main driver & tweeter array, for broad coverage and dynamic full-range audio performance.
Wafer-Thin Sheer-Grille: Vanishing Series built-in speakers feature our exclusive wafer-thin Sheer-Grille, a magnetically-secured grille that protrudes only 7mm from its surroundings. Sheer-Grilles have nearly transparent, ultra-small perfs, and are acoustically inert, for dynamic, unimpeded sound and more uniform coverage, even in larger rooms.
Paintable: Painted to match your decor, Vanishing Series built-in speakers are virtually indistinguishable from their surroundings.
Room Compensation: Reflective surfaces in rooms can make sound brighter and cause image distortion. Engaging the Vanishing reflective room compensation feature (by selecting the low setting) lowers the tweeter level to compensate for reflective surfaces. Vanishing reflective room compensation is a custom audio control that cuts the level only in the 4-5kHz range, exactly where reflectivity destroys sound quality. Outside this narrow 1kHz band, the tweeter retains its detailed and accurate high frequency response, for no loss of realistic musical details.
Timbre Matched: Vanishing Series RT speakers are timbre-matched to Polk Audio RTi speakers to insure utterly seamless blending from speaker to speaker in systems that combine traditional and built-in speakers.
Dual Band-Pass Bass Ports: Are highly efficient in small enclosures, they smoothly funnel the angled woofer's low frequencies down around the driver array, eliminating "chuffing," so your small, practically invisible in-ceiling speakers achieve superior full-range blending and broad coverage with surprisingly deep bass.
Easy One-Cut, Drop-In Installation: Puts built-in audio within reach, with Perfect Fit templates, a precision flange, and (available) pre-construction brackets; achieve secure, vibration-free efficiency with a simple turn of the patented Rotating Cam system.
