Elevate your home theater
Planning a Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X® system? Use the RC80is for lifelike overhead sound effects. You’ll love how sound moves up and down, instead of just side-to-side and front-to-back. These speakers are great options for the rear surround channels of your system, too.
Enjoy music in any room
Putting speakers in the ceiling for music with minimal visual clutter? Each RC80i is equipped with a robust 8″ woofer for solid bass. And a swiveling tweeter lets you direct sound towards for you for the best sound.
Polk even uses moisture-resistant materials so you can install these in your bathroom, kitchen or covered porch with confidence.
DIY installation
If this is a do-it-yourself installation, check out our guide to installing in-ceiling speakers, along with our selection of in-wall speaker wire.
Polk’s rotating-cam design makes your in-ceiling installation go smoother. Once you have the RC80is in place, simply use a screwdriver to tighten each cam for a secure grip against the back of the ceiling.
