BIPOLE/DIPOLE AND FX/CUT SWITCHES

The HDFX also includes a baffle-mounted BIPOLE/DIPOLE mode switch so the installer can set the sur- round effects for either side or rear placement. A companion FX/CUT switch allows adjustment of the direct/diffuse sound field balance to provide realistic effects, regardless of room size.

EASY RETROFIT INSTALLATION IN YOUR EXISTING HOME

Designed for ease of installation, the Niles mounting system makes retrofit installations simple and fast. A supplied template assures fast and accurate hole cutting. The bracket slips behind the drywall, and the screws secure the bracket to the frame, sandwiching the drywall between them. The loud- speaker baffle attaches to the frame, and the grille mounts over the loudspeaker.

THREE-STAGE INSTALLATION SYSTEM FOR REMODELS OR NEW CONSTRUCTION

Only the parts needed are installed during a particular stage of construction. After framing and wiring are finished, the bracket is installed. After the drywall is up, but before the painter begins to paint, the frame is installed, and the rustproof aluminum grille is left for the painter to match to the surround- ings. The loudspeaker is installed only when construction is completely finished. Masking or prepping the loudspeaker for painting and worries about loudspeaker theft during final construction are never an issue!

MICROPERF™ ALUMINUM GRILLES

Niles’ exclusive MicroPerf™ aluminum-grille construction provides an exceptionally tight hole pattern for acoustic transparency at all audio frequencies and enables the loudspeaker elements to remain invisible. MicroPerf™ aluminum grilles can also be painted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding decor.

NILES’ HD HIGH-DEFINITION VOICE MATCHING

Ensures compatibility with other Niles HD High-Definition in-wall, on-wall, and ceiling-mount models to accommodate a wide range of system designs.

DOLBY® DIGITAL READY

The HDFX is specifically designed for Home Theater Sound. This model exceeds the specifications set forth by Dolby Laboratories for the accurate reproduction of Dolby Digital-Encoded Sources.
