INTRODUCTION

The Niles HDLCRbx High-Definition, Left/Center/Right Channel Loudspeaker is expressly designed for superior sonic quality in front left-, center-, or front right-channel applications. It employs ad- vanced technology components that extract the subtle nuances in recorded music or the thunder- ous action sound in a movie. The HDLCRbx is the perfect choice wherever quality of sound is the most important consideration.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

DUAL 5-1/4-INCH TCC™ WOOFERS WITH BUTYL-RUB-

BER SUSPENSION

The HDLCRbx features newly-developed woofer-cone material that combines injection-molded polypropylene with talc, carbon, and ceramic (TCC) stiffening agents. As a result, the cone offers extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. Additionally, the use of a butyl- rubber suspension offers substantial benefits, including increased movement without mechanical limitations, weather resistance, and improved midrange damping for better detail and clarity.

BUMPBACK™ WOOFER MAGNETS

Niles engineers have utilized a unique woofer magnet construction, allowing far greater “throw” or voice-coil excursion. The result is a new level of deep bass performance.

1-INCH TETERON TRI-LAMINATE TWEETER

The HDLCRbx’s Teteron Tweeter employs a tri-laminate design consisting of an inner textile layer, which forms the dome, a high damping layer to kill unwanted resonances, and an outside layer of urethane to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparently clear, sweet, natural-sounding tweeter, which still maintains extended frequency response.

D.S.F.G. DIRECTED SOUND FIELD GEOMETRY® DELIVERS OPTIMUM PHASE RESPONSE TO LISTENERS AND COMPENSATES FOR HIGH LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT

The HDLCRbx employs Niles’ D.S.F.G. Directed Sound Field Geometry® . With D.S.F.G., the tweeter is offset from the center of the dual woofers. The resulting acoustic interaction between the woofers and the offset tweeter results in the flattest frequency and phase response, approximately

15-degrees off-axis from the tweeter. This gives optimum performance to a seated listener, even if the loudspeaker is mounted above or below a TV or screen.
