About the V80
The Polk Audio V80 is part of the budget-conscious V Series Vanishing in-ceiling speakers, designed for large-scale custom installations in homes. It features Polk's wafer-thin paintable Sheer-Grille that attaches magnetically for a virtually invisible, flush fit. Equipped with an 8-inch Dynamic Balance polypropylene woofer with butyl rubber surround for smooth midrange and bass, and a 1-inch aimable silk dome tweeter for crisp highs. The patented Rotating Cam System ensures secure, vibration-free installation. Suitable as height channels for Dolby Atmos/DTS:X or general room filling from dining to media rooms. Klippel Distortion Optimization minimizes distortion. Optional square grille, pre-construction bracket, and fire-rated back box available. Limited lifetime warranty.
