INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Incorporating a Volume Control

It is possible to control the volume of the sound at the speaker location. Volume

controls are connected in line with the speaker, an example of wiring an area with 2 speakers and a master volume control is shown in Figures 4a and 4b, 4a is for

one-speaker stereo mode and 4b is for two-speaker stereo mode. It is usually

desirable to control the volume of the speakers in different areas or zones of the outdoor system. A suggested way to accomplish this is shown in Figures 5 and 5b,

5a is for one-speaker stereo mode and 5b is for two-speaker stereo mode.

Niles makes a wide range of outdoor volume controls. We recommend our standard weatherproof volume control, WVC100 series or our weatherproof muting volume control, WMVC series. In addition to controlling the volume of the loudspeakers, these controls can allow the addition of added speakers without adding more amplifier channels. Volume controls provide flexibility and customization to make the system reliable and easy to use. Consult your local Niles’ dealer for more information about using volume controls.

Designed to deliver exceptional sound quality while blending seamlessly into natural landscapes, these speakers are ideal for patios, gardens, and poolside areas.

One of the defining features of the RS8Si offerings is their rugged design. Both models are constructed with high-quality materials that are resistant to harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and intense sunlight. Their UV-resistant finishes ensure that they maintain their aesthetic appeal over time, regardless of environmental exposure. The sandstone and granite finishes allow these speakers to camouflage into their surroundings, providing a discreet audio solution without compromising on sound performance.

The RS8Si speakers utilize advanced audio technology to deliver a rich and immersive listening experience. Each speaker is engineered with a robust 8-inch polypropylene woofer, which provides deep bass and clear mid-range frequencies. Complementing this is a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter that ensures crisp high frequencies, resulting in a balanced audio spectrum that is well-suited for various music genres and outdoor entertainment.

An additional feature of the RS8Si series is their wide sound dispersion. The speakers are designed to deliver 180-degree sound coverage, allowing owners to enjoy consistent audio throughout larger outdoor spaces. This feature is particularly beneficial for social gatherings, where multiple listeners can enjoy a unified audio experience from different vantage points.

Installation and connectivity are made simple with the RS8Si models. They come equipped with integrated mounting points that ensure secure placement in various outdoor locations, alongside the option for ground or wall mounting. Featuring easy-to-use connections, these speakers support a straightforward setup with a variety of audio systems.

Another noteworthy technology is the speaker’s weather-resistant design, including an all-weather seal that protects the internal components from moisture and debris. This durability, combined with high-quality sound performance, places the Niles Audio RS8Si speakers as a leading choice for outdoor audio applications.

In summary, the Niles Audio RS8Si Sandstone and RS8Si Granite speakers offer a sophisticated blend of durability, aesthetics, and audio excellence. They are designed to withstand the elements while delivering a rich and immersive sound experience, making them perfect for outdoor enjoyment.
