Adjustable floor spikes help stabilize your speaker on
an uneven surface. The floor spikes are adjusted with
the supplied hex key and can be adjusted from above
using one hand. The spike
is self-locking by means of
a locking compound applied to the threads, so it may
be firm
to turn but this is normal.
To Adjust A Floor Spike:
1. Turn the hex key clockwise to lower the spike,
counterclockwise to raise it.

Clockwise Counterclockwise
2. When the floor spike contacts the floor, it should
become more difficult to turn.
At that poi nt the
speaker should be stabilized.

Cableado Doble
El cableado doble puede mejorar considerablemente
Ia transparencia general de los altavoces. Encamine
cables de altavoz separados hasta los transductores
de frecuencias bajas y de frecuencias altas desde un
solo amplificador. Quite los puentes y luego conecte
un conjunto de cables de altavoz a las terminales superi-
ores de cada altavoz y el otro conjunto (por lo general
de cables de mayor calibre) a las terminales inferiores.
Conecte los otros extremes de los dos conjuntos de

La amplificaci6n doble permite utilizar amplificadores

de lograr un
mayor intervale dinamico. Recomendamos que los
amplificadores tengan Ia misma amplificacion. Quite
los puentes y luego conecte los cables de altavoz desde
las salidas del amplificador de frecuencias altas hasta
el conjunto de terminales superiores de cada altavoz.
Siga el mismo procedi miento para conectar las salidas
del amplificador de frecuencias bajas a los conjuntos

LSi25, circa 2001
The LSiLegacy
First introduced in 2001, LSirepresented Polk’s expression
of a true high-performance loudspeaker that was also
reasonably priced. LSiwas created for the serious listener,
those who really enjoy music and who enjoy intently listen-
ing to their audio system. LSidelivered a flatter frequency
response with lower distortion and revealed more detail
than comparably priced speakers. The series was also
touted in the press for its tonal accuracy. LSiimaged
very well, thanks in part to the quality of the tweeter
and the wide dispersion of the small midbass drivers.
The series’ performance has made LSiPolk’s flagship
product for almost a decade. But after a decade, it was
time to revisit LSi. The result is not so much an evolution
of the current series as it is a re-engineering of the
qualities that have made LSia great series.

2011 LSiM Series
Performance Objectives of the LSiM Series
The performance objectives for the new LSiM Series
predate the original LSidesign and are, in fact, design
principles Polk Audio first set down during development
of its original Monitor loudspeakers.
Sound that virtually transports the listener to the scene
of the recorded performance.
These ideals have been guiding principles for Polk Audio’s
best high-performance loudspeakers:
1. Pleasing tonality, even during extended listening
at performance levels.
2. Crisp, lifelike impulses, transients and coherent
detail without any unnatural ringing or decay.
3. Natural reproduction of complex low frequency
instruments and special effects.
4. Uniform sonic representation within the listening
area and immersive spatial impression.
5. Reproduce concert/theater levels while
maintaining linearity and accuracy.
6. Compatibility with a wide array of electronics
both past, present and future.
7. Work as promised for many years of enjoyment.

Applications/Configurations
Floorstanding & Bookshelf Loudspeakers
To enjoy the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound,
place the speakers so that an equilateral triangle is created
between the speakers and your favorite listening position.
Angle the speakers toward the middle as necessary in order
to support a more solid center image. And experiment with
the distance between your speakers and both the back and

speakers located close to walls.
The LSiM Series bookshelf loudspeakers were designed
to provide excellent performance on a bookshelf or placed
on a floor stand. For best results place LSiM bookshelf
loudspeakers so the tweeter height is within 6" (15cm)
of seated ear height. When using speaker stands,
select sturdy stands 30" - 36" (76.2 - 91.4cm) high.
If you are using your LSiM Series bookshelf loudspeakers
as rear channels in a home theater system, they should be
placed on the rear or side walls, slightly above (and, on the
side walls behind) the listening position. Angle them toward
the listening area if possible.
Center Channel Loudspeaker
With today’s modern flat panel TVs, the most popular
placement, and our recommendation for your center

also place your center channel above your TV should
you choose. LSiM center channel loudspeakers are
very heavy, and we do not recommend wall mounting
them, unless placed on a sturdy shelf.
Note: If you have an older model television, you
could experience a color shift or image distortion
in your TV’s screen. If that is the case, move the
speaker away from your TV.
F/X Surround Loudspeakers
The LSiM Series surround loudspeakers must be wall-
mounted, either on side walls or rear walls; they have
built-in wall mounting keyhole slots. Mount the loud-
speakers 6-8 feet off the floor. If you’re setting up a 7.1
system, mount the Surround Back Left and Surround
Back Right loudspeakers at the same height as the
Surround Left and Surround Right loudspeakers.
Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the
speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support
the weight of the speakers (LSiM702F/X= approx 28.9 lbs/
13.1 kg ea). Be aware of any electrical wiring or plumbing
that may be behind your walls.
Note: The LSiM702F/XSurround Loudspeaker should be
oriented so that its Dynamic Sonic Engine (3 1/4" mid-range
and 1" Ring Radiator tweeter) points toward your listening
area. Therefore, the F/X surround loudspeaker that would
serve as the right surround on a sidewall will become
the left surround on a rear wall.

LSiM702F/XSurround Loudspeaker Placement
Wall Distance Switch (located on baffle underneath the grille)
If position limitations demand that your LSiM702F/Xloudspeak-
ers be mounted closer than 2' (60cm) from side walls or ceiling,
the proximity of the surface can result in a response “bump”
between 50 and 200Hz. This can cause the loudspeakers to
sound “boomy.” The “Wall Distance” switch flattens response
and eliminates “boominess” without sacrificing deep bass
response for more lifelike sound. Set the switch accordingly,
<2' (60 cm) or >2' (60 cm).
Wall Mounting LSiM702F/X
Prior to installation, hold the speaker in the chosen location,
6 to 8 feet off the floor, to make sure it safely clears obstacles
such as ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams, lighting fixtures
and door/window frames.
Using the keyhole slots in the bracket template (included),
mark the installation location of the two keyhole slots with
a pencil. Orient the template so that the small ends of the
keyhole slots are facing “up.”
1. If you are certain that there is a stud behind the
wall surface, drive a screw (not included) capable
of supporting the loudspeaker’s weight through
the wall and into the stud.
2. If there is no stud behind the wall at the chosen
location, install a wall anchor (not included) capable
of supporting the loudspeaker’s weight into the wall
by following the wall-anchor-manufacturer’s instructions.
3. For masonry walls, use a masonry drill bit and
#10 masonry anchor and screw (not included).
4. Tighten screws into stud or wall anchors, leaving
screw heads protruding 1/4" (6mm).
5. Make all wire attachments now.
6. Line up the keyhole slots on the back of the speakers
so that the screw heads pass through the large center
hole of the slots.
7. Let the speaker slide straight down, allowing the screw
head to slip behind the smaller end of the keyhole slot.
8. Tug gently on the speaker to make certain that the
screws and bracket are properly aligned and that
the wall anchors are secure.
9. If the bracket is not held snug against the wall by the
screw heads, remove the speaker from the wall, drive
the screws in a little further and then remount the speaker.

Hookups, Preparation & Options
Wire Preparation
Follow the hookup directions included with your receiver/
amplifier. Strip 1/2" (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the
two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and
twist each of the individual conductors into single unfrayed
strands. Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each
speaker is red (+) and the other is black (–). Make certain
that you connect the wire from the positive (+) terminal
of your amplifier or receiver to the red (+) terminal on
your speaker and the wire from the negative (–) terminal
of your amplifier or receiver to the black (–) terminal on
your speaker. Most wire has some indicator (such as
color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two
conductors to help you maintain consistency.
Binding Posts
To connect wire to the binding post, unscrew the binding
post cap and insert the bare wire into the hole near the
base of the binding post. Do not insert the insulated part
of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a good
connection. Tighten the binding post cap until it seats
firmly with the wire, but do not over tighten.

for your speaker wires, and it’s really a matter of
personal preference. Three of the more commonly
used are banana plugs, spade lugs and bare wire.
If you know where you want to locate your speakers
and plan to set up your system and leave them there,
then bare wire will work fine. Just make sure there are
not stray strands of wire that could come into contact.
If you like to experiment with different speaker locations,
spade lugs or banana plugs offer more convenient options
when it comes to disconnecting and reconnecting wires.
Banana Plugs
LSiM binding posts have openings in the ends of their
caps to accept individual banana plugs. The binding
posts cannot accept dual banana plugs.
Loosen hex nut. Insert speaker wire
through hole.
Tighten hex nut. Do not insert insulated
section of speaker wire.

Standard Hookup
Bi-Wiring & Bi-Amping
If you decide to bi-wire or bi-amp, you must remove
the jumpers between the terminal posts. Failure to do
this could result in damage to your amplifier and loud-
speakers. The binding post caps must be completely
removed to remove the jumpers, which use ring terminals.
There are color coded collars so you can identify which
is (+) or (–) after you remove the caps.
Bi-Wiring (see Figure 1)
Bi-wiring can provide noticeable improvements in the overall
transparency of your loudspeakers. Run separate speaker wires
to the low and high frequency drivers from a single amplifier
(the upper set of binding posts are for the high frequency drivers,
the lower set of binding posts are for the low frequency drivers):
after removing the jumpers, connect one set of speaker wires
to the upper terminals on each speaker and one set of wires
to the lower terminals. Connect the other ends of both wire
sets to the same amplifier outputs.
Bi-Amping (see Figure 2)
Bi-amping allows you to use separate amplifiers for the high and
low frequency sections of your loudspeaker for greater dynamic
range and lower distortion. We recommend that your separate
amplifiers have identical gain to preserve the speaker’s voicing
balance. After removing the jumpers, connect the speaker wires
from the high frequency amplifier outputs to the upper set of
terminal posts on each speaker. Follow the same procedure
for connecting the low frequency amplifier outputs to the
lower set of terminals. Remember to maintain correct wiring
polarity (+ to +, – to –) in all connections.
Wire Recommendations
These recommendations are for all connections
from the amplifier/receiver to each speaker:
Runs Gauge
Lengths up to 25' 16 or better
Lengths greater than 25' 14
but less than 50'
Lengths greater than 50' 12
but less than 75'
Lengths greater than 75' 12
