INTRODUCTION

Niles HDFX High-Definition, Side-/Rear-Channel Effects, In-Wall Loudspeakers are expressly designed for superior sonic quality in side- or rear-channel applications. They employ advanced technology components that extract the subtle nuances in recorded music or the thunderous action sound in a movie. HDFX loudspeakers are the perfect choice wherever quality of sound is the most important consideration.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

5-1/4-INCH INJECTION-MOLDED TCC WOOFER WITH BUTYL-RUBBER SURROUND, LONG-THROW VOICE COIL/MAGNET STRUCTURE, AND VENTED POLE PIECE

The HDFX features newly-developed woofer-cone material that combines injection-molded polypropylene with talc, carbon, and ceramic (TCC) stiffening agents. As a result, the cone offers extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. A long-throw voice coil/magnet structure ensures increased cone excursion to enhance low frequency response and dynamic impact. 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.

DUAL 2-1/4-INCH INJECTION-MOLDED TCC FULL-RANGE DRIVERS FOR SIDE-CHANNEL EFFECTS

Dual 2-1/4-inch injection-molded TCC™ (talc, carbon, and ceramic-filled) polypropylene full-range drivers fire to either side, providing a uniform, sound field that is ideal for special effects.

COAXIAL 1-INCH TETERON TRI-LAMINATE TWEETER WITH FLUID-COOLING AND ULTRA-WIDE DISPERSION FOR CLEAR AND DETAILED HIGH FREQUENCIES

The HDFX’s 1-inch Coaxial 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 prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparently clear, sweet, natural-sounding tweeter, which still maintains extended frequency response.

INSTALLER-SELECTABLE ACOUSTIC FINE TUNING

Using the baffle-mounted TREBLE/CUT and BASS/CUT controls, the installer can de-emphasize the bass and/or treble response by 3 dB after installing the HDFX to precisely tone match the sound in any room.
