This card can ® be used to enable Polk Audio’s IP-Addressable in-wall and in-ceiling speakers to become addressable nodes on a NetStreams DigiLinX network. Because these speakers contain built-in amplifiers, this eliminates the need for a SpeakerLinX in rooms where the Polk Audio LC265i-IP or LC80i-IP speakers and a StreamNet card are installed.
