Features and Benefits

4 or 8 ohm Selectable Impedance

The dual voice coil feature of the CM5AT, CM6AT and CM8AT gives the installer flexibility to select the speaker’s imped- ance — 4 ohms for systems where maxi- mum current transfer and output level is desired; 8 ohms for systems utilizing mul- tiple speaker pairs where amplifier loading is a consideration.

MicroPerfGrilles

The CM5AT, CM6AT and CM8AT employ Niles exclusive MicroPerf grille construc- tion. the exceptionally tight hole pattern provides acoustic transparency at all audio frequencies and enables the speaker ele- ments to remain invisible. MicroPerf grilles can also be painted to blend seem- lessly with the surrounding decor.

Easy Installation

The CM5AT, CM6AT and CM8AT employ a bracketless mounting system in existing ceilings. Simply cut a hole in the mount- ing surface, remove the grille from the speaker, connect the wires and place the speaker in the hole. Then tighten the four mounting “dogs” via the front panel screws. The dogs first swivel 90°, then clamp the speaker frame to the drywall as you tighten the screws.

Hole Saving Bracket

Available as an optional accessory, CM5 Series, CM6 Series and CM8 Series New Construction Brackets can be installed as a “hole-saver” before the drywall goes up. The drywall contractor cuts the holes as the drywall is installed, reducing installa- tion time and minimizing the chance for lost wires
