Building a system

Install a pair of the MC60s for stereo music listening. These speakers can also work as the fronts, center, and surrounds in a surround sound system. The MC60s are voice-matched with the other MC in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, so you can mix and match.

An optional in-ceiling bracket is recommended for installing the MC60 speaker in a home with new construction.

Features

MC Series: The Polk Audio MC Series in-wall/in-ceiling loudspeakers offer great built-in sound for multi-room listening. The MC Series features Dynamic Balance driver technology, an aimable tweeter, and polymer cone woofers, which ensures your music always sounds crisp and clear. The MC Series also uses infinite baffle tuning for excellent bass response, so you can install them in virtually any kind of wall.

Dynamic Balance Technology: Laser imaging technology allows Polk Audio engineers to see the entire vibrating surface of a driver and tweeter; they can actually see the resonance develop on the speaker cones-resonance that is the root cause of loudspeaker distortion. Being able to see the resonance develop, they then determine the Dynamic Balance of high-tech materials, geometry and construction that together effectively tune out the offending resonance. Exclusive Dynamic Balance Composite Material Technology delivers sound that is effortlessly clean and clear, even at lifelike volume levels.

Woofer: The Polk Audio MC60 in-ceiling speaker features a 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance Polymer Composite Cone for smooth wide-range response with low distortion. The polymer composite cone provides excellent damping and bass response while resisting deterioration. For a smoother response and improved durability, each woofer uses a rubber surround.

Tweeter: The MC60 in-ceiling speaker uses a 3/4" aimable silk dome tweeter with neodymium magnet for clear, detailed highs and excellent imaging even for off-axis listening positions. Aiming the tweeter toward your listening position improves imaging and detail.

Infinite Baffle Tuning: Infinite Baffle Tuning uses the virtual enclosure of in-wall/in-ceiling space for superior bass response.

Moisture-resistant: Durable, moisture-resistant materials allow you to install the speakers in bathrooms, kitchens, even under the eaves of an enclosed porch. (The speaker is not recommended for exposed outdoor use.)

Timbre-matched: The MC Series speakers are timbre matched to Polk Audio's freestanding speakers, such as the Polk Monitor, TSi, and OWM series; just in case you need in-wall/in-ceiling surround speakers to match your freestanding fronts.

Installation: The round shape and flush-design allow the MC60 to mimic the look of a recessed lighting fixture. Each speaker requires a cutout diameter of 8.1875" and a depth of 3.9375" behind the drywall. Each speaker frame has a 9.1875" diameter. Once the holes are cut, each speaker is placed in the opening and the Rotating Cams are tightened, allowing you to secure each speaker to the drywall without any extra assembly. The cam extends 1.75" deep from the mounting surface of the speaker and will accommodate up to 1.5" drywall thickness. When the cams are rotated, each extends 0.875" beyond the 8.1875" cutout diameter. If you will not be mounting these speakers in drywall, make sure the wall or ceiling material can safely support the weight of the speakers before installation; each speaker weighs approximately 3.1 pounds.

Paintable: The grille and flange can be painted, allowing these speakers to match any decor.

Greetings Marie, and thank you for your question. The most reasonable as of today 10/03/2022 will run $500. That would be the Denon HEOS AMP. There are others from Yamaha, Bluesound, Sonos as well. All will have terminals for 2 speakers, but they all can run 4 of those Polk MC60s. You just need to double up two speakers to each set of terminals.

Q
Will these speaker fit with 3.5 walls and a 1/2 inch sheet rock?
steve t  Oct 24, 2021
1 answer
A
Yes to both, although I have them ceiling mounted so depth isn't an issue for me. Do not use stiff, sollid wire as the connectors don't hold that well. Stranded speaker wire should work fine.

Q
Do I need to remove the insulation from behind the wall before I mount the speakers or can I just mount them on top the insulation?
jason  May 16, 2021

A
Push the insulation back away from the speaker hole to make a pocket for the speaker and mount the speaker directly to the wall board. Don't completely remove insulation and just leave it behind the speaker.

It depends if you have any on the walls . I'm using this with a AV system. Strictly for music no less the 6 is what I'd recommend.

Q
How do you remove this speaker from ceiling Sheetrock? The speak is making loud crackling sounds from TV and needs to be replaced. Over 13 years old.
tom c.  Aug 28, 2020
6 answers
A
Remove the mesh grill. I have used a bent paperclip to hook it and pull. Once mesh plate is removed you will find 3 screw heads. Turn counter clockwise to loosen toggle. Pull out speaker and detach speaker wire.
michael  Aug 29, 2020
A
Pry out the grill. There are 4 screws behind it that are attached to the swing out tabs. When you loosen the screws, the tabs should swing in and allow you to bring the speaker out of its hole in the sheetrock. You shouldn't need to remove the screws, only loosen them enough to allow the tabs to swing in. If the tabs don't release, remove the screws completely. Just remember to retrieve the tabs from inside the hole. This will only end well for horizontal installations. In walls the tabs will fall to the bottom of the stud cavity and you'll have to get creative to fish them out.
joe  Aug 29, 2020
A
Make sure it's the speaker by changing what you send to the speaker - use a different source or swap right and left cables at the receiver to see if the crackling follows the source. I you still need to change it you loosen the mounting screws on the speaker while pushing upwards on the screw. When it reaches the end it will click and the stopper will be out of the way - allowing the speaker to come out. Be careful on the last one as the speaker will drop. The hardest part will be pulling the grill off. You need a small dental pick that can go through the hole and pull downwards.
jim  Aug 29, 2020
A
Remove the screen and you will see some screws, loosen the screws and the backing clamps should pivot allowing the speaker to drop out.
william  Aug 28, 2020
A
The cover pulls straight off and unscrew the Phillips screws.
james  Aug 28, 2020

Pop the screen off. Then unscrew the 3 screws.

Q
How do you aim the tweeter, I can't seem to swivel it, do you just rotate the speaker?
htang  Apr 10, 2020
2 answers
A
Polk states the following for the process on adjusting the tweeter on this speaker: While supporting the tweeter bridge, carefully use your index finger to aim the tweeter. There is picture with this shown on page 4 of the owner's manual which shows the finger pressing on the black outer diameter area around the tweeter. You can download a copy of that manual using the link we put in the "What's in the Box" section of this page.

Q
Can these be installed in a drop ceiling?
dylan  Dec 19, 2019

Absolutely. The speaker is not extremely heavy, so as long as the tiles are supportive enough, you should be great. The dropped ceiling should make installation even easier.
jared  Dec 20, 2019
A
Yes they can. The template made it easy tod. Make sure you give yourself plenty of speaker wire to work with.
frank  Dec 19, 2019

Yes. There is an inexpensive adaptor to purchase which Crutchfield carries. It was simple to use. Great result.

Q
I'm installing a atmos 9.1 in my new construction basement theater room which is roughly 25x15x8 ceilings. I'm looking at Polk mc80s for front center left and right speakers and mc60s for remaining 6 speakers. Is the mc80 a good enough center speaker or so I need bigger? Are the mc60s enough for back left and right speakers? Overall given the room size, will this be a solid 9.1 atmos system?
bigtxp  Dec 14, 2019

That setup sounds reasonable for a 9.1 setup. If you want personalized advice you can connect with one of our friendly product advisors via phone, chat or email here: https://www.crutchfield.com/I-rET1c290/S-SUliZgSTXG7/support/ContactUs.aspx

Center speaker should never be in the ceiling. But if must be there it has to be much larger or it will be very hard to hear dialogue when there's a action sequence.

Hi Chris, thank you for your question. The Polk Audio MC60 speakers use Infinite Baffle Tuning, which means the speaker is using the virtual enclosure of in-wall/in-ceiling space mounting location. You don't need a dedicated enclosure for these. Any member of our expert team of Advisors will be happy to go over these in more detail with you if you'd like to gather some additional information! Feel free to chat with us online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695.
jessica  Nov 05, 2019 (Staff)

These do not require enclosures, but I'm confident they will sound better if they are enclosed. The only air space needed is the amount to make the speaker ring and grill flush with the ceiling. I hope this helps...
jared  Nov 04, 2019
A
I installed these as rear speakers in a 5.1 Dolby system for home theater. Simple install in the. Wiping of the room, no enclosure required. No particular dimension on the space ( just sufficient clearance) and they sound great!

Good morning wireless speakers are not wireless at all they require 110ac power. Second your Bass should come from your Subwoofer. 3 sorround speakers are for sorround audio tracks they don't require to be so loud.
rodolfo a  Nov 17, 2017
Q
I'm hoping to replace a couple of old Jensen desk-top speakers that I used in a kitchen with these. On the same set-up I have a second pair of larger speakers in the living room, so I use the "A-B" switch on my receiver and all is well. In making a change to something like this speaker, do I need to be aware of any technical issues? I know nothing about ohms, impedance, watts, etc. Do I need to know anything about that, or can I be confident that these would work ok?
tom  Oct 09, 2017

Thanks for your questions--regarding product compatibility inquiries like this, you would be better served contacting an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat. They can go over what you have now in more detail to ensure it all works correctly with the Polk MC60 speakers. Hope that helps!

Q
what gauge wire i should use for MC 60 speaker?
kungan  Nov 25, 2016
2 answers
A
18 gauge speaker wire works just fine. Hope this helps.
gordon  Nov 29, 2016
A
Speakers alone don't determine the gauge. It depends on how many speakers and in what configuration are drawing from the line. Crutchfield's big advantage is qualified technical support. Instead of asking a question here, I'd call them and ask for tech support and explain your situation. In case you have one receiver driving 2 speakers in the vicinity (10-20 ft) you may be OK with a higher gauge (cheaper) off the shelf wire.

I've installed the speakers and had the same question. In the end I bought them because they made the installation easier. My guess is if you're handy and want to rough in a different mount you could make it work. Is it worth the time and effort is the question.
andrew  Dec 30, 2015
A
The new construction mounts are optional in new construction...it eliminates the need to locate wires above drywall later.

If you cut your holes well you should be able to.
donald l  Jan 22, 2015
A
Not sure of your specific usage, but you could certainly physically mount this speaker on drywall between the studs in a wall. I'm using these for home theater surrounds mounted in the ceiling, and I'm quite happy with them. The tweeters are somewhat aim-able (on one axis) so if mounting surrounds in the wall, just be sure to locate the speakers fairly high and point the tweeters down across the listening area.
paul c  Jan 21, 2015
A
Absolutely. The general aesthetic notion is rectangles on a wall and circles on a ceiling. But it's up to you - purely aesthetic reasons.
david  Jan 21, 2015
A
Yes, as long as there is clearance behind and the wallboard can support 3 lbs. I would be concerned if the wallboard was 1/4 inch.
richard  Jan 21, 2015
A
Yes installing the speakers in the wall, would b just as easy as installing in the ceiling. It should not effect the sound quality of the speaker! Just make sure u put them in propper areas for best surround sound!
darrell  Jan 21, 2015
A
Yes they can be installed in wall or ceiling. I have them installed both ways and had no problems. They look and sound great.
steve  Jan 21, 2015
A
I can't imagine why not. As long as there s enough clearance in the wall to accommodate the speaker depth. I have them in my ceiling as part of a surround system. They are not my primary front speakers. The sound is excellent for this purpose.
james  Jan 21, 2015
Q
Wanted to hear from people who own this product. I am on the fence over the MC60 vs the MC80. I hear a lot of differences of opinions and am not sure which way to go yet. My ceiling height is only 10' and is flat. The room is 15x15 with no back wall, open concept. I hear that MC80 will be clearer and fill up room more but I have 2 bookshelf Infinity speakers with 4-4.5" woofers that fill up the room pretty well. I will be using speakers for surround sound and music application and will have a subwoofer. Want to know how pleased you are with the speaker in general?
david  Dec 06, 2013
7 answers
A
I really can't compare the two speakers since I've only heard the MC60. I bought four to use for ceiling surrounds and they are working fine. The ceiling in my house is also about 10' high, but slanted, and I don't have any problem getting enough surround level. If you are using the speakers for full-range playback (not just surround), I would probably go with the MC80 because of the extended low frequency response.
paul c  Dec 09, 2013
A
Thanks Bryan, do you ever use the MC80's for music or just for movies? How big of a space is the MC80's in if you don't mind me asking. I know it is an open concept but like I said my space is literally 15x15 with no back wall to an open concept of the rest of the house, also how high is your ceiling?. I have a son that sleeps 2 rooms over from the TV room and was curious if you thought the 80's produce lot of sound, worried about him sleeping. 1 last question since you have 80's and 60's do your 80's look whiter than your 60's? I had both sent to my house and the 80's look whiter than the 60's. Still undecided about which way to go but all answers are appreciated to help with my decision.
david  Dec 07, 2013
A
Thanks Thomas for the response. My room is not as big as yours but with the open concept, no back wall I am wondering if the 60's will get lost as well. I have heard that the 80's will sound better than the 60's but have also heard that I don't need to go with the 80's. Do your MC60's look white or do they look like they have a slight tint to them? Thanks again.
david  Dec 07, 2013

Jerry, Thanks for the response. I have a question about the color of your speakers though if you don't mind. Are they white or are they a little bit of an off white(slight tint to them). Just wondering because I have the MC80's and MC60's in my house at the moment because I am not sure which way to go and the 80's look very white compared to the 60's which look like a different hue. Thanks

I bought the MC60 in Oct for a 7.2 surround. I don't have a back wall either. Long (40ft) open room. I am pleased with the sound and quality of his speaker. I use it for the same applications that you asked about.

I have the MC60's and feel they are a bit lost in the room. My room is 21' × 20' with no back wall. Overall, I'm pleased with the speakers, but wish I had gone with the MC80's.

Dave, I recently finished my basement, open floor plan, and used 5 MC80s for my theater area, 2 front, 2 rear and center channel, all in the ceiling, they are amazing and would highly recommend for that use. I also have a polk sub in that space. I also have 4 MC60s in what I will call zone 2, 2 speakers in the bar area and 2 in my kids play area. The MC60s are fine for that use, but hard for me to rate for surround sound utilization. Both speakers allow for directional sound, which is nice, but I am very pleased with the MC80s in my theater area. Hope this helps.
