Installation Considerations

I N T E L L I G E N T P O W E R C O N T R O L L E R

IMPORTANT

Do not exceed 1500 watts of total power consumption for the devices plugged into each IPC-6.

IMPORTANT

Do not connect 120 volt AC power to the C1 and C2 terminals, they are low voltage only!

IMPORTANT

Do not connect any signal higher than 30 volts to the trigger inputs!

IPC-6 Total Power Capacity

Check that the total power consumption of all the devices plugged into the IPC-6 does not exceed 1500 watts. If the total power is greater than 1500 watts, you will need to trig- ger a Niles AC-3 voltage controlled power strip from one of the IPC-6's 12 volt control outputs. Since the maximum power output of most home outlets is 1500 watts, you'll need to plug the AC-3 into a wall outlet that is on a different circuit breaker than the IPC-6.

IPC-6 Low Voltage Contacts (C1 & C2 Controlled Outputs)

The IPC-6 has both normally-open and normally-closed con- tacts to control devices that need a switch to control them. These are low voltage contacts only. DO NOT connect 120 volts AC to these contacts.

12 Volt Trigger Inputs

The IPC-6's external trigger inputs accept 3-30 volts AC or DC.

Switched 120 Volt AC Outlets

Test each component to determine whether it has the “latch- ing" type of power control. Start by turning the component on. Next, unplug its AC power cord. Wait 5 minutes, then plug it back in. If the component returns to its fully “on” state rather than to a “standby” state it is suitable for use

with a switched AC outlet on the IPC-6.

Installation

1.Select a convenient location for the IPC-6.

2.Run all the necessary wiring to the IPC-6’s planned loca- tion. Label the wires with both their origin (which compo- nent they power) and their destination (which of the switched outlets that component will use). Use the Programming Worksheet on Page 17 to write down your choices. You will need a convenient written record when you program your IPC-6.

3.Make the low voltage connections to the IPC-6. If you are using any of the low-voltage inputs or outputs, you should remove the IPC-6’s connectors. It is easier to attach the wire to the connector first, before putting the IPC-6 in place. To remove a connector grasp it from the top and bottom with your thumb and forefinger and simply pull straight back. Strip 3/8” of insulation from the end of each wire. Tightly twist the stripped wire to eliminate any frayed ends. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole in the connector block and tighten the terminal with an 1/8” slotted screwdriver. Be certain that the positive terminal on the IPC-6 is connected to the positive terminal of a 12 volt device (see Figure 1).

4.Put the IPC-6 into position and make the connections to it. While carefully observing each label, plug each low voltage connector, switched outlet plug, and triggering component into its respective place (see Figure 2 on page 11).

IPC-6 specifications

Niles Audio has long been a respected name in the audio industry, known for producing high-quality speakers and audio distribution systems. One of its standout products is the IPC-6, an in-wall speaker design that combines innovative technology with elegant aesthetics, making it a popular choice for home theater enthusiasts and audiophiles alike.

The Niles IPC-6 is characterized by its sleek, unobtrusive design that allows it to blend seamlessly into any room decor. Its in-wall positioning not only saves space but also provides a clean and clutter-free look, making it an excellent choice for modern home interiors.

One of the standout features of the IPC-6 is its advanced driver technology. This model is equipped with a 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer, which delivers a deep, robust bass response that enhances the overall audio experience. The cone is designed to minimize distortion, ensuring that even the most dynamic soundtracks are reproduced accurately. Additionally, the IPC-6 houses a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, which provides crystal-clear high frequencies, ensuring that vocals and treble shine through in any audio mix.

The IPC-6 also employs Niles Audio's innovative Tri-axial Driver Design. This technology helps to create a wide soundstage, allowing for a more immersive listening experience. The speaker’s broad dispersion pattern means that sound is evenly distributed throughout the room, making them suitable for both large and small spaces.

Moreover, the IPC-6 features an adjustable tweeter that can be pivoted up to 30 degrees. This allows users to direct the sound to a specific listening area, offering personalized audio experiences whether for movies, music, or gaming.

Installation is simplified with the IPC-6, thanks to Niles’ unique mounting system. The speaker comes with integrated dog-ear brackets that secure the unit firmly to the wall, while the paintable grille allows it to match the wall color, further enhancing the aesthetic appeal.

In summary, the Niles Audio IPC-6 stands out with its impressive sound quality, advanced driver technology, and elegant design. Whether you are setting up a home theater or simply want to enjoy high-fidelity audio, the IPC-6 offers a sophisticated solution that caters to the needs of discerning listeners. It epitomizes the balance between performance and style, making it a top choice in the world of in-wall speakers.
