Description
The Polk Audio VS80 F/X-RT is a high-performance 2-way round in-ceiling surround speaker designed for home theater enthusiasts who desire immersive surround sound with a discreet, minimalistic design. Part of Polk Audio’s Vanishing RT Series, this speaker is engineered to provide dynamic surround sound while virtually disappearing into the ceiling. With its advanced dual-tweeter array and dipole/bipole sound modes, the VS80 F/X-RT ensures a fully immersive audio experience in any home theater or multi-room audio system.
Design and Build
The VS80 F/X-RT features a round in-ceiling design that allows the speaker to sit flush with the ceiling for a clean, unobtrusive look. Its paintable magnetic grille can be customized to match your ceiling color, ensuring it blends seamlessly into your room’s decor. The speaker is made from durable, high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting performance while remaining lightweight and easy to install with its rotating cam mounting system.
Audio Performance
The VS80 F/X-RT is engineered for high-quality surround sound, featuring a dual-tweeter array that enhances sound dispersion for a more immersive experience. It also incorporates a switchable dipole/bipole mode:
- Dipole mode diffuses sound for an ambient surround effect, ideal for rear channels in a home theater system.
- Bipole mode directs sound toward the listener, suitable for side and rear surround speaker configurations.
With an 8-inch dynamic balance driver, the speaker provides rich, deep bass, while the dual 0.75-inch silk dome tweeters ensure crisp highs and clear midrange. This makes the speaker versatile enough for both cinematic surround sound and high-quality music playback.
Applications
The VS80 F/X-RT is designed primarily for use in home theater systems, where it serves as a surround speaker to provide rich, immersive sound effects for movies and television. It is also suitable for whole-home audio systems, offering balanced, high-fidelity audio in any room. Its vanishing design makes it ideal for rooms where aesthetics are important, as it integrates smoothly into the ceiling while delivering powerful audio.
