NAD CI 980: Centralized power for four stereo zones

The CI 980 is designed specifically for custom installation and distributed audio systems, making it the foundation of this bundle’s multi-room performance. With eight channels of amplification in a compact 2U rack-mount chassis, it gives you a clean, installer-friendly way to power multiple speaker zones from one central location while maintaining stable, long-term operation.

• Multi-zone drive: Eight channels of FDP-rated amplification deliver 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms or 60 watts per channel into 4 ohms, ideal for powering this bundle’s eight in-ceiling speakers across four stereo zones.
• Flexible integration: Line-level inputs and independent channel assignment make it easier to work with preamps, audio matrices, and control systems commonly used in custom installations.
• Rack-ready design: The 2U rack-mount chassis with rack ears is built for centralized system layouts, helping keep equipment organized in a structured install.
• Dependable operation: Stable performance for continuous use, along with protection and clipping indicator lamps for each zone and standby power consumption of less than 0.5W.

Polk Audio RC60i: Discreet in-ceiling sound across the home

The RC60i is made for customers who want music around the house without the bulk of freestanding speakers. In this bundle, four speaker pairs provide broad coverage for multiple rooms, while Polk’s aimable tweeter and low-profile design help tailor sound to the listening area without drawing attention to the speaker itself.

• Balanced room-filling audio: Each speaker uses a 6" Dynamic Balance composite woofer to deliver midrange clarity, punchy bass, and high efficiency for everyday music listening.
• More targeted sound: A 0.75" swivel-mount soft dome tweeter lets you direct sound toward the listening position, which is useful for both distributed music and overhead effects.
• Clean installed appearance: The paintable white matte grille helps the speakers blend more easily into the ceiling for a less obtrusive finished look.
