Features and Benefits

Installer Selectable Acoustic

Fine Tuning

Installers can select to de-emphasize the bass or treble by 2dB to accommodate reflective surfaces and corner loading. This selection is accomplished via baffle- mounted controls that are accessible after the speaker has been installed.

MicroPerf™ Grilles

The CM5HD, CM6HD and CM8HD employ Niles exclusive MicroPerf™ grille construction. the exceptionally tight hole pattern provides acoustic trans- parency at all audio frequencies and enables the speaker elements to remain invisible. MicroPerf grilles can also be painted to blend seemlessly with the surrounding decor.

Easy Installation

The CM5HD, CM6HD and CM8HD employ a bracketless mounting system in existing ceilings. Simply cut a hole in the mounting 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.

4 or 8 ohm Selectable Impedance

The dual voice coil feature of the CM5HD, CM6HD and CM8HD gives the installer flexibility to select the speaker’s impedance — 4 ohms for systems where maximum current transfer and output level is desired; 8 ohms for systems utiliz- ing multiple speaker pairs where amplifier loading is a consideration.

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.
