Figure 3. HDFX loudspeakers are placed near back corner walls of a home theater room with an L-shaped sofa.

If your home theater system is capable of reproducing Dolby EX surround sound, consider using a second pair of HDFX loudspeakers (on the side walls) for an additional rear surround effect, as shown in Figure 4 (on the next page). Ideally, the side loud- speakers should be placed in-line with the listening position with the BIPOLE/DIPOLE controls set to DIPOLE. For a more focused surround effect, set the BIPOLE/DIPOLE controls to BIPOLE.

If you like listening to music in surround modes (which emulate concert hall acoustics), consider using more than two surround loudspeakers to provide an extraordinary effect. With Niles HDFX loudspeakers, it is easy to add another pair without affecting the decor of the room.

NOTE: FOR THIS APPLICATION, YOU WILL NEED TO USE A MORE POWERFUL AMPLIFIER THAN THE ONE BUILT INTO A TYPICAL SURROUND-SOUND RECEIVER OR AMPLIFIER. NILES MAKES A NUMBER OF SYSTEMS INTEGRATION AMPLIFIERS WITH PROPRIETARY FEATURES THAT MAKE THEM UNIQUELY SUITED TO ENHANCE YOUR EXISTING SURROUND-SOUND SYSTEM. CONSULT YOUR LOCAL NILES DEALER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
