PLACEMENT OPTIONS

Polk Audio TCi 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 TCi Series In-Wall

Loudspeakers have a wide dispersion pattern

and aimable tweeters that allow you to focus

their sound.

ADJUSTING THE TWEETER

Aiming the tweeter toward your listening

position improves imaging and detail. When

using TCi Series In-Wall Loudspeakers as

front/main home theater speakers [figure 2],

aim the tweeter toward your listening posi-

tion. For rear/surround speakers installed in

walls or ceilings [figure 3], aim the tweeter

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 tweeters at your

listening position).

Note: TCi 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.

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 pro-

tect 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 YOUR TCI SERIES IN-WALL

LOUDSPEAKERS

You will need:

• Paint of your choice (to make the job easi-

er, 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 TCi speakers))

• Masking tape

• Paint mask (to cover unpaintable

parts, supplied!)

For Customer Service, call 800-377-7655. 5

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 TCi Series speaker fea-

tures an even, 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. TC615imodel: Before spray painting the

grille, carefully remove the grille’s fabric

scrim by peeling it away from the inside of

the grille [figure 8]. Place this on a clean,

flat surface where it will not get wrinkled.

N'obstruez pas les trous de la grille de peinture.

Streichen Sie den Gitteraufsatz. Verwenden Sie dazu dünne

Spritzlackschichten. Die Öffnungen des Gitteraufsatzes dürfen nicht mit Farbe

bzw. Lack blockiert werden.

4. After removing the grille by carefully hook-

ing 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].

5. When the paint is completely dry, 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.

6. TC615imodel: When the grille is dry, care-

fully press the fabric scrim back into place

on the inside of the grille. The special fab-

ric scrim hides the speaker’s drivers from

view, and will not interfere with the sound.

INSTALLATION

Out of the box and into the wall, that’s how

easy it is to install Polk TCi 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 speak-

ers. 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 expe-

rienced professional. If you are in doubt that

you possess the necessary skills or tools,

consult your Polk Audio dealer, or a profes-

sional installer.

YOU WILL NEED:

• Pencil for marking the location

of installation

• Keyhole saw, utility knife or material-

appropriate incising implement for

cutting drywall or other wall material

• Level

• Screwdriver, preferably powered,

with Phillips head bit

• Power drill with appropriate bit

(optional, for starting wall cut)

FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS:

• 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 plumb-

ing. Prior to installation, hold the speaker

in your chosen location to make sure it

safely clears obstacles such as studs, cor-

ners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/win-

dow 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 previ-

ously positioned wiring out of the hole and

connect the speaker. Follow the hookup

directions included with your receiver. Strip

2inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of

the two conductors of the wire to expose

the bare metal and twist each of the con-

ductors into a single unfrayed strand (so

you have two unfrayed strands). Note that

one of the terminals on the rear of each

speaker 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 termi-

nal (-) of your amplifier or receiver to the

black terminal (-) on your speaker. Most

wire has some indicator (such as color-cod-

ing, ribbing or writing) on one of the two

conductors to help you maintain consisten-

cy [figure 12].

• 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 TC615i

model, 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?)

SAFETY FIRST

When installing your TCi 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 Polk

Audio dealer, or a building contractor.

If you plan to install your TCi Series speakers

where water will directly contact them, it is

advisable to use a silicone sealant 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!).
