in the two-speaker stereo mode, it has ultra-wide dispersion. These features improve the high frequency coverage of the loudspeaker and ensure that all the benefits of the 1" Teteron Tweeter are heard and not lost in the surroundings.

Dual Precision Crossovers

A customized electronic dividing network inside the cabinet precisely distributes

the music to the woofer and each tweeter, keeping the two channels completely isolated from each other. The three pole two-way design of the RS8Si crossover

provides excellent stereo imaging into each channel, low distortion and superior sonic performance.

ConeForward™ Design

Other rock speaker manufacturers mount their drivers from inside the cabinet. This moves the front of the driver inside the cabinet creating a tunnel for the driver to play through. This tunnel adversely affects the sound quality by making the loudspeaker sound “narrow” and “far away”. Niles’ engineers have used a patent-pending ConeForward™ design technique that moves the woofer and tweeter as close to the grille as possible. Combining the ConeForward™ design technique with tight quality control leads to unparalleled sonic performance and imaging from an outdoor rock loudspeaker.

Rigid Acoustically Inert Cabinet Construction

Niles’ utilizes a unique 4-layer cabinet construction to achieve superior non- resonance of the loudspeaker cabinet. This insures that all you hear is the music and not the cabinet ringing.

Low Diffraction Microperf™ Aluminum Grilles

The aluminum Microperf™ grilles on the RS8Si have hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an acoustically transparent grille. The aluminum construction resists oxidation enabling years of trouble-free operation in the harshest conditions. We paint both sides of the grille for added protection.

Dual Connection Cables with Water Resistant Wire Nuts

Connecting the loudspeaker’s cable to the cable running from the house is always a point of concern for the installer. If this connection is not done right, the cable will corrode and the connection will fail. To make sure this connection is trouble-free, we provide two three-foot connection cables rated for burial underground and specialized waterproof wire nuts. Our wire nuts are filled with a waterproof sealant. Just insert the wires and twist them together. Then bury the cable. The connection will be protected from the elements.

Security Bracket and Cable

Using the security bracket and cable supplied with the loudspeaker provides a simple but effective method to protect the loudspeaker from theft or unapproved movement. You can easily upgrade our standard security mounting method to provide even greater security, if you require it.
