INSTALLER-SELECTABLE ACOUSTIC FINE TUNING

Using the baffle-mounted TREBLE and BASS CUT controls, the installer can de-emphasize the bass and/ or treble response by 3 dB after installing the HDLCR to precisely tone match the sound in any room.

CTR L/R MODE SWITCH

The HDLCR includes a baffle-mounted CTR L/R mode switch to optimize performance in applications as either a center channel or left/right loudspeaker for front-channel use.

EASY RETROFIT INSTALLATION IN YOUR EXISTING HOME

Designed for ease of installation, the Niles mounting system makes retrofit installations simple and fast. A supplied template assures fast and accurate hole cutting. The bracket slips behind the drywall and the screws secure the bracket to the frame, sandwiching the drywall between them. The speaker baffle attaches to the frame, and the grille mounts over the speaker.

THREE-STAGE INSTALLATION SYSTEM FOR REMODELS OR NEW CONSTRUCTION

Only the parts needed are installed during a particular stage of construction. After framing and wiring are finished, the bracket is installed. After the drywall is up, but before the painter begins to paint, the frame is installed, and the rustproof aluminum grille is left for the painter to match to the surround- ings. The speaker is installed only when construction is completely finished. Masking or prepping the speaker for painting and worries about speaker theft during final construction are never an issue!

MICROPERF™ ALUMINUM GRILLES

Niles’ exclusive MicroPerf™ grille construction provides an exceptionally tight hole pattern for acoustic transparency at all audio frequencies and enables the speaker elements to remain invisible. MicroPerf aluminum grilles can also be painted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding decor. Additionally, the aluminum grille material will never rust or discolor over time.

INFRARED SENSOR MOUNT

The speaker baffle has a locator designed for the Niles MS-100 MicroSensor®, a miniature infrared sensor. The MS-100 installs discreetly behind the aluminum grille to minimize wall clutter in the home. To control the equipment, the listener simply points the remote control at the speaker from up to

15 feet away.
