Introduction, No-Strip Speaker Terminal | Niles Audio CM8HD, CM6HD

Introduction

The HD or High Definition group of ceiling mount Loudspeakers offers speak- ers expressly designed for superior sonic quality. They employ advanced technolo- gy components designed to extract the subtle nuances in recorded music or the thunderous action in a movie. They are

perfect anywhere that quality of sound is the most important consideration. Each model features Niles’ patented two-piece no-strip speaker wire terminal which reduces installation time.

Features and Benefits

Injection Molded TCC Woofer with Butyl Rubber Surround

The CM High Definition series loudspeak- ers employ a newly developed cone mate- rial that combines injection molded polypropylene with talc, carbon and ceramic stiffening agents. The result is a cone that offers extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. Additionally, the woofer employs a vented pole piece for increased bass linearity and a Butyl Rubber Surround for improved midrange damping and clarity as well as moisture resistance.

Pivoting Fluid-Cooled Ultra-Wide

Dispersion Tweeter in Custom

Pivoting Coaxial Enclosure

The CM High Definition series 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 pre- vent breakup modes. The result is a trans- parently clear, sweet, natural sounding tweeter which still maintains extended fre- quency response.

The tweeter can pivot up to 20° within its mount allowing for perfect alignment of the high frequencies, optimum perfor- mance and without the diffraction distor- tion typical of traditional pivoting tweeters.

No-Strip Speaker Terminal

Niles patented No-Strip terminal enables speakers to be connected without stripping the speaker wire. No-Strip terminals elimi- nate fumbling with wire strippers and input terminals. They are color coded and sim- ply plug into the crossover circuit boards on the back of Niles speakers, resulting in positive in-phase connections every time.

Moisture, UV Resistant Construction

The CM5HD, CM6HD and CM8HD loud- speakers are suitable for use in high mois- ture environments. The drivers are resis- tant to moisture and UV exposure; the grille is made of powder-coated alu- minum. However, the speakers are not waterproof and direct contact with water should be avoided.

Engineered for Ceiling Placement

The CM5HD, CM6HD and CM8HD have been specifically designed and tuned for optimum performance when mounted in a ceiling. The custom designed low diffrac- tion tweeter housing is mounted coaxially to avoid the “venetian blind” effect com- mon with ceiling speakers that employ sub-baffles as tweeter mounts. The 20° tweeter pivot angle ensures optimum high-frequency coverage.
