About the Polk Audio 255c-LS
Answer to the center channel challenge
The center channel speaker is critical in any home theater system, yet it can be the hardest to place. Do you put it below the TV, or get a shelf for it, or what? The in-wall Polk 255c-LS is a great solution.
Big sound, no footprint
This in-wall center channel speaker is built to perform. Potent 5-1/4″ woofers work with Polk’s PowerPort® bass venting technology to deliver punchy lows. A 1″ ring-radiator tweeter extends high-frequency response for incredible details and realistic imaging. You’ll hear every breath of dialogue and every note of music. All of this from a center channel speaker that’s out of sight, in more ways than one.
Sound-shaping controls
A wall distance toggle switch lets you compensate for boominess due to installation near a side wall. You also get a tweeter attenuation switch to help you get balanced sound in rooms with lots of reflective surfaces.
Bring the family
The Polk 255c-LS matches well with Polk’s floor-standing and bookshelf speakers, and it can join in harmony with other members of the “Vanishing” LS speaker family. That means you can put together a system mixing custom-installed and more traditional “box” speakers.
An optional in-wall bracket is recommended for installing the 255c-LS in-wall center channel speaker in a home with new construction.
