Frequently Asked Questions

Can you suggest a receiver that would work nicely with these speakers?****

For my full home audio, I’m using a Niles SI-1230, and they sound great.

Are these passive speakers with a constant resistance?****

They are indeed passive speakers. The speaker’s impedance depends on the frequency it is reproducing, like the majority of moving coil type speakers with crossover networks.

Is there one speaker or two?****

It consists of two speakers.

This speaker has a centre channel capability. I am unable to use an in- wall centre since my TV takes up the entire space above the fireplace to the ceiling.****

Although they are fantastic, centre speakers require a lot of highs and mids. The system’s workhorse is the centre speaker.

2-way in-ceiling 6.5″ speaker from Polk Audio. What size saw should be used for this, overall?****

6 1/2 and you should indeed utilise the entire saw.

Will a bracket be necessary to hang this speaker from my ceiling?****

Brackets are not required. The speaker comes with everything you need. Utilizing the given template, you just cut the hole in the ceiling. The speaker clamps firmly hold the sheetrock. If you follow the directions, installation is really simple.

Does it use HDMI ARC to connect?****

It would be connected to an AV Receiver (such as one from Sony, Denon, Yamaha, etc.) using speaker wire (16 gauge), and the Receiver would then be connected to your TV through HDMI. Most recent Receivers are ARC or even eARC compatible.

Can you install this speaker between studs in the wall?****

Physically, it is capable of doing so since it is made to fit between floor joists, which are likewise 16″ apart. I really constructed a frame or box to imitate this atmosphere for my suspended ceiling, but I was unable to hear much of a difference between it and a background with an open, absorbent material or insulation. From a mounting perspective, ceiling wallboard should work just as well as nice, solid wallboard, but it would need to be confirmed first. For my dropped ceiling, I actually added support to the acoustic ceiling tile using a 1/2 inch piece of plywood.

Is this a single speaker or a pair of speakers, meaning there are two speakers included at this price? Just looking for another affirmation.****

Per box, one speaker. I had to order another because I forgot to do that.

Are tile bridges required to put these in a drop ceiling?****

Although that was a dry walled ceiling when we erected ours, you could require a bridge for a drop ceiling.

Per speaker, how many wires are required? Does each speaker have a single channel with a left and right cable, in other words?****

I installed it two years ago, but I think each speaker has two cables.

I have a kitchen/dining room that is around 20 feet by 12 feet with 8 foot ceilings. How many mc60s are needed for music listening?****

Either size would work for a pair. But everyone has different hearing and tastes. The midrange and bass will be improved, and the 80s will have an 8″ driver. However, if either pair has 50–75 watts, you won’t be dissatisfied.
