MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
The TC
i
Series features technology that can
tailor the sound for performance in difficult
or unusual placement situtations.

MODEL
ADJUSTMENTS:
Wall Distance Toggle
— In-wall loud-
speakers excel when placed more than 2’
(60cm) from side walls
[figure 5]
. 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 Distance Toggle Switch flattens
response and tunes out “boominess” without
sacrificing deep bass response, for more life-
like sound.
FIGURE 5
If placement is closer than 2' to a wall, engage the Wall Distance Toggle (“Wall
Dist.”) to match the <2' setting.
En cas de positionnement à moins de 5 cm (2 pouces) du mur, mettre le commu-
tateur de distance par rapport au mur (“Wall Dist.”) dans la position < 2’.
Si el altavoz queda a menos de 61 cm (2 pies) de la pared, fije el interruptor
basculante de distancia a la pared (“Wall Dist.”) en la posición <2’.
Wenn der Wandabstand weniger als 60 cm (2 Fuß) beträgt, schalten Sie den
Wandabstandsschalter (“Wall Dist.”) ein, um mit der Einstellung <2’. übere-
inzustimmen.
Performance enclosures are available for all
models. These are engineered enclosures that
mount in the wall or ceiling to maximize the
bass and midrange performance of your TC
i
Speakers. They are typically installed prior to
drywalling in new construction, but can be
retrofitted if desired.

enclosures: polkaudio.com/catalog/technology.
Note: TC
i
Series In-Wall Loudspeakers are
not magnetically shielded and should not
be placed closer than 1’ (30cm) from a
direct view television or video monitor. Test
your distance BEFORE INSTALLATION by
simply holding the speaker in the place you
plan to install it, and seeing how it affects
any TVs or video monitors nearby. If your
monitor experiences discoloration or distor-
tion, immediately move the speaker a little
farther away.
FIGURE 3
Examples of in-wall and in-ceiling placement. When used as rear/surrounds, aim
tweeter toward the nearest reflecting surface (an adjacent wall or ceiling) for a
more diffuse sound field.
Ejemplos de ubicación al ras de la pared o del cielorraso. Cuando se use como
altavoz posterior o surround, oriente el tweeter hacia la superficie reflectora
más cercana (pared o cielorraso adyacente) para producir un campo de sonido
más difuso.
Exemples d'installations au mur et au plafond. Pour usage arrière-ambio-
phonique, dirigez les tweeters vers la surface réfléchissante la plus proche (mur
ou plafond) si vous
désirez une image sonore plus diffuse.
Beispiele zur Platzierung in Wand und Zimmerdecke. Bei Verwendung als
Hintergrund-/Surround-System sollten die Hochtonlautsprecher zur besseren
Zerstreuung des Schallfelds
in Richtung der nächstliegenden reflektierenden Flächen
positioniert werden (Wand oder Zimmerdecke).
FIGURE 4
To aim the TCi Tweeter, use your fingers to gently manipulate the outer ring of
the tweeter cup, pushing lightly one way or the other to tilt the tweeter, until it is
aimed in the direction of your listening position.
Para apuntar el Tweeter TCi, manipule cuidadosamente con los dedos el anillo
exterior del tweeter empujando ligeramente hacia uno y otro lado hasta que el
tweeter apunte hacia la posición del oyente.
Pour orienter le haut-parleur d’aigus à TCi, manipuler doucement avec les
doigts l’anneau externe du haut-parleur d’aigus en poussant légèrement dans
un sens ou dans l’autre pour incliner le haut-parleur, jusqu’à ce qu’il soit orienté
vers la position
d’écoute.
Um den TCi Tweeter auszurichten, manipulieren Sie den äußeren Ring des
Tweeters vorsichtig mit Ihren Fingern. Drücken Sie zur Schrägstellung des
Tweeters leicht auf die eine oder andere Seite, bis er auf Ihre Hörposition aus-
gerichtet ist.
DIRECTING THE DRIVER
(TC60
i
& TC80
i
)
The fixed 15° angled driver in the ceiling
speaker allows you to direct the midrange
towards your listening area when used for
front stage (left–center–right). When used as
rear surrounds or 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 soundfield.
AIMING THE TWEETER
TC
i
models feature a swiveling Dome Tweeter
for better directionality. The “sweet spot” is
within a 30º cone of sound coming from the
aimed speaker.
