Screw one side of the assembled bracket with wings to the stud using one of the supplied screws. Level the bracket. Screw the other side of the bracket to the stud.

Among their standout models, the HD8.3, HD6, HD5, and HD8 offer unique features and technologies that cater to different listening environments.

Starting with the Niles Audio HD8.3, this model showcases a sophisticated 3-way design that includes an 8-inch woofer, a 4-inch midrange driver, and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter.
