Polk Audio 265-LS 6.5" In-Wall Speaker (Single) – High-Performance Audio

The Polk Audio 265-LS is a high-performance in-wall speaker from Polk’s Vanishing LS series. It’s built to disappear visually into a wall while delivering audio quality comparable to free-standing loudspeakers. Below is a full description:

The Polk 265-LS is a 3-way in-wall speaker featuring a 1-inch Dynamic Balance ring radiator tweeter sandwiched between two 6.5-inch Dynamic Balance drivers (one operating as a dedicated midrange and the other as a woofer) built with aerated polypropylene cones and rubber surrounds. This dual-woofer layout and the Power Port® bass venting system help extend the low end, delivering punchy bass with reduced port noise. ListenUp+2B&H Photo Video+2

It offers a wide frequency range, with a total (full-range) response claimed from about 28 Hz up to 33,000 Hz, and the –3 dB points around 41 Hz to 29,000 Hz, depending on installation.

Polk’s high-performance 3-way in-wall speaker

Polk Audio’s 265-LS may be part of their Vanishing series, but one listen and you’ll know this in-wall speaker is no “wall flower.” The 265-LS offers stellar sound in an inconspicuous design that hides in your wall. Whether you’re using this speaker as the basis for a stealth home theater or a pair for stereo listening, its performance rivals that of Polk’s flagship free-standing models. In fact, you can put together a system mixing this in-wall speaker with more traditional floor-standing or bookshelf models — whatever suits your room and your decorating sense best.

Advanced technology for better sound

The 265-LS begins with dual 6-1/2″ Dynamic Balance drivers, which deliver clear, accurate mids and dynamic lows. Polk’s PowerPort® bass venting system reinforces the bottom end for clean, punchy bass. The 265-LS uses Polk’s own advanced version of the classic “ring radiator” tweeter for smooth, detailed highs. A wall distance toggle switch lets you compensate for boominess due to installation near a side wall. You also get a tweeter attenuation switch to help you get balanced sound in rooms with lots of reflective surfaces. Finish off by painting the magnetic Sheer-Grille™ to match your wall color, and the 265-LS is ready for showtime.
