IDefinition Constant Impedance Technology

KEY TECHNOLOGIES

iDefinition™ Constant Impedance Technology

Unfortunately, many surge suppression devices protect coax connections with little regard to the impact on performance. In these circuits, the signal comes in as a specific frequency but leaves as something entirely different. This signal variation often results in ghosting, a lack of detail and impact, and even drop-out. iPOWER's™ iDefinition™ circuitry strives to maintain a perfect 75 ohm impedance throughout the entire circuit. It combines superior components with a proprietary circuit that both protects your coax connections from harmful surges and minimizes the signal loss from input to output. The result, razor sharp images and full compatibility with both existing and upcoming digital video sources like DSS, DTV and HDTV. You'll have both peace of mind and enjoy all the breathtaking performance that digital audio and video deliver.

Groundbreaking F-Connector Technology

It has been said that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and this is just as true for an electrical circuit. Electronic devices have become increasingly more sophisticated over the years, while the basic hardware supporting their use has gone unchanged for decades. At Niles, we realized early in the development of iPOWER™ that one of the weakest links in the power management chain was in F-connector quality and construction. Your AC-8CX’s F-connectors incorporate six major advances in materials, design and construction that ensure the highest audio and video resolution possible.

Machine-Cut Threads. Unlike most products which have inexpensive stamped threads, iPOWER™ products use only machine-cut threads on their connectors. While machine cutting is a more time- consuming and expensive process, it allows for a much closer manufacturing tolerance. iPOWER’s™ F-connectors are easier to connect, make for a superior electrical contact, and minimize signal loss.

AC-8CX specifications

The Niles Audio AC-8CX is a premium in-ceiling speaker that combines advanced technology with exceptional sound quality, making it an appealing choice for home audio enthusiasts. Designed for versatile applications, this 8-inch speaker is perfect for producing high-fidelity sound in both residential and commercial settings.

One of the standout features of the AC-8CX is its 8-inch polypropylene woofer, which is designed to deliver deep, rich bass response. This is complemented by a 1-inch soft dome tweeter that ensures clear, detailed high frequencies. Together, these components create a well-balanced audio profile that reproduces music, movies, and dialogue with remarkable clarity and accuracy.

Niles Audio has incorporated its innovative Controlled Coverage Technology into the AC-8CX. This technology minimizes off-axis sound dispersion, which means that listeners not directly in front of the speaker still enjoy a consistent sound experience. This is particularly advantageous in larger rooms where speaker placement can be challenging.

Installation of the AC-8CX is designed to be straightforward, featuring a low-profile mounting design that allows it to blend seamlessly with any ceiling. The speaker includes adjustable dog-ear brackets, ensuring a secure fit in a variety of ceiling types. Additionally, the magnetic grille is paintable, allowing homeowners to customize the look to match their decor while making the speaker virtually invisible.

Durability is also a noteworthy characteristic of the AC-8CX. The speaker features moisture-resistant materials, making it suitable for use in humid environments such as bathrooms or kitchens. This durability ensures that the speakers maintain their performance and aesthetic appeal over time, even in challenging conditions.

The Niles Audio AC-8CX is designed to handle a wide range of power, with a recommended amplifier power of 10 to 120 watts. This flexibility allows it to be integrated into various home audio systems, whether in a multi-room setup or as part of a dedicated home theater system.

In summary, the Niles Audio AC-8CX offers an impressive blend of sound quality, innovative technology, and user-friendly features. Its robust design, versatile installation options, and advanced sound reproduction capabilities make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their audio experience in a discreet and stylish way. Whether for music enjoyment or home theater applications, the AC-8CX stands out in the competitive audio market.
