Know before you buy
Yes, the speaker includes the necessary PB LC265i mounting bracket to simplify the installation process. However, you will still need to provide your own speaker wire and ensure your wall cavity is prepared for the cutout.
The Polk 265-LS is sold individually. This allows you to purchase exactly the number of units you need for your specific room layout, whether you are building a stereo setup or a multi-channel home theater.
The Vanishing LS series is designed for a minimal visual footprint. Once installed, the speaker sits nearly flush with your wall, and the grille can be painted to match your wall color, making the speaker virtually disappear into your decor.
Yes, the dual 6.5-inch driver configuration makes this model highly effective as a center channel speaker. Its design provides the clear, robust dialogue and sound reproduction required for home theater applications.
The dual-driver setup is engineered to deliver a rich, full-range sound with better bass response and clarity than smaller, single-driver in-wall speakers. It is well-suited for primary listening areas where audio quality is a priority.
