ALUMINUM DRIVER BASKET/FRAME

The SW300’s woofer features a sophisticated motor assembly that combines a high BL magnet and extended pole piece for deep bass response and clean bass tones. Moreover, the cast aluminum driver basket/frame provides extra rigidity to the entire assembly for consistent performance over prolonged use.

ADVANCED DIGITAL AMPLIFIER CREATES AMPLE POWER WITH LITTLE HEAT

Powered by an internal 300-watt (rms) advanced digital amplifier, the SW300 can easily reproduce 600-watt peaks with very little heat produced. Niles uses the latest digital technology so bass response will be extremely fast and absolutely accurate, no matter what audio material is being reproduced.

SEPARATE SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROLS AND TRIGGER INPUT FOR MOVIES OR MUSIC

Separate subwoofer level controls for music and movies provide the right bass levels for different types of programs. When activated by 12 volts input, the SW300’s MOVIE MODE trigger input will automatically adjust the bass level appropriate for the source material.

RCA LINE-LEVEL AND LOUDSPEAKER-LEVEL INPUTS

In addition to gold-plated RCA line-level inputs, the SW300 features a gold-plated, non-filtered RCA LFE (Low Frequency Effects) line-level input for a direct connection from a 5.1 or 7.1 home theater sound processor. Using the “LFE” input bypasses the “Low Pass” frequency control.

The SW300 also has gold-plated, loudspeaker-level, five-way binding-post input connections. Using this input allows control over the “Low Pass” frequency output of the SW300.
