Niles Audio RS6 Series manual Installation Considerations, Choosing the Speaker Cable

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Figure 3 Mono Coverage 4 speakers

Figure 3 shows the difference in coverage area using the spacing rules for mono signals. Using the same four speakers as we did in Figure 1, we can increase our coverage area from 875 square feet (81.3 sq. meters) to 1400 square feet (130.1 sq. meters), simply by using a mono source.

The trade off in sound quality between mono sources and stereo sources is sonic imaging. If you are concerned with keeping the instruments and vocals sonically separated, then stereo setup must be used.

When choosing the location for the loudspeaker, take into consideration the slope of the land in the area the speakers are going to be placed. The flatter and more level the area, the better. The woofer should be straight up and down or tilted forward a bit to assist in drawing water away from it. Never chose a place where an automatic sprinkler will be aimed on or near the loudspeaker. While the loudspeaker is weatherproof, continuous streaming water will shorten the product’s life.

Choosing the Speaker Cable

In order to choose the proper speaker cable, please follow these steps:

Unless you are using a Niles’ WVC100 or WMVC100 series weatherproof impedance matching volume controls or equivalent, only two (2) RS6 loudspeakers can be safely attached to a typical amplifier channel, if that amplifier is rated to drive 4 ohms. You can do this by running wires from each loudspeaker to the amplifier or you can connect one loudspeaker to another. Make sure this is taken into account when calculating cable length and number of amplifier channels needed. If you are unsure about these calculations, consult an audio/video installer.
