Niles Audio OS6.5 manual Mounting Methods

Page 11

If possible, mount the loudspeakers between eight and twelve feet high. The less the downward angle of the loudspeaker, the further the sound will carry. If the sound is carrying into areas where you do not want sound, try pointing the loudspeakers more downward, this will reduce the amount of sound further away from the loudspeaker.

You can control the loudspeaker’s bass output by placement. This is called the boundary effect. You will get more bass response by mounting the loudspeaker directly to a wall or other flat surface (any boundary close to the loudspeaker will reinforce the bass frequencies). You can increase the bass output even more by mounting the loudspeaker in a corner or under an eave (See Figure 5) This type of placement gives the loudspeaker two boundaries, thus reinforcing the bass sounds even more. Of course, if you wish to hear less bass, try moving the loudspeaker away from the boundary (See Figure 6).

Mounting Methods

The OS loudspeakers can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. The bracket knobs will keep the loudspeaker angled correctly in any position once they are tightened. You can choose from three mounting methods to attach the loudspeaker to the wall, ceiling, or other mounting surface.

1.If the loudspeaker is never going to be exposed to sudden accidental impacts, wind, waves or earthquakes you can simply hang it on a nail using the nail hole(s) on the bracket (See Figure 7).
