80F/X-LS

High Performance In-Wall Loudspeaker

11 1/8" Diameter

 

The Ultimate In Style And Sound: practically invisible in-ceiling surrounds

Never sacrifice professional audiophile features and performance when you can have it all, even on a budget. Award-winning technologies and high quality materials come together with purpose-designed engineering in the Vanishing F/X-LS line of "invisible" in-ceiling surround-channel speakers. Customizable audio controls give you more placement flexibility for optimum surround effects, and maximum interior design wow-factor. Use the space previously taken by speakers to add seating or wall treatments!

  • Practically Invisible Grilles And Minimal Flanges-New design! No other moderately-priced built-in speaker is this invisible. Vanishing Series Built-In Speakers feature our exclusive wafer-thin Sheer-Grille, a magnetically-secured grille that protrudes only 7mm from its surroundings. That's just this much ----. Painted to match your décor, Vanishing Series in-ceiling & in-wall speakers are virtually indistinguishable from their 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.
  • Timbre-Matched to Polk Audio LSi Speakers Match Vanishing LS speakers to our flagship LSi Series Loudspeakers. Timbre-matching with the same internal components, and same lightweight Aerated Polypropylene Cone material, insures utterly seamless blending from speaker to speaker. Use Vanishing Series Speakers to build a system or complete an existing LSi system.
  • High Performance Tweeters- Superior imaging and clear, lifelike detail is revealed by superior tweeter technology. Vanishing LS speakers are the only built-ins to feature the ultra-high-performance Ring Radiator Tweeter used in our highest-end freestanding loudspeakers. The Reflective Room (Tweeter) Compensation Switch digitally compensates for reflective rooms without hindering high performance, for extraordinary placement flexibility.
  • Customizable Imaging Toggle Easy control for optimum surround effects in any room setup, with any listening location. Choose the "Solid" setting for more localized effects, and the "Diffuse" setting for greater rear channel ambience.
  • Customizable Wall Distance Setting Tailors frequency response for optimum performance regardless of room shape. Ignore the usual performance-robbing suspects of corners and adjacent wall surfaces! The Wall Distance Setting gives you the power to defeat "boominess," even in close quarters, leaving dynamic response intact.
  • Easy Installation Puts the architectural elegance of "invisible" speakers within reach for anyone. In existing walls, use the Perfect Fit Template for one-cut, drop-in simplicity. Achieve secure, vibration-free efficiency with a simple turn of the patented Rotating Cam system. Pre-construction brackets are available for new-build or open-wall retro-fitting. Our precision-engineered minimally flanged design lets you get professional results with no additional drywall work.
