INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

We recommend using the following tools and material to install your Niles CM loudspeaker:

•Cordless drill with 1/4 – and 1/2- inch drill bits and a 1-inch paddle drill bit (for drilling through studs)

•Stiff wire, fi sh tape or glow rods for routing cables

•Rubber gloves and protective eyewear

•Keyhole or drywall saw

•Phillips screwdriver set

•Wire stripper

•Stud fi nder

•Cable ties

•Pencil

Before starting the installation, please observe the following precautions:

•Turn off all system power before making any connections

•Always wear protective eyewear when using tools

•Make sure hands are clean before installation

•Wear gloves when working with fi berglass insulation

RUNNING WIRES IN WALLS OR CEILINGS

When running loudspeaker wire inside walls or ceilings, use special jacketed cable (a minimum of 16-gauge two-conductor CL-2 or CL-3 rated loudspeaker wire) to protect the wire and for fi re prevention. In some areas, conduit is also required. For a trouble-free installation, low-voltage wire such as loudspeaker wire must be run in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any applicable provisions of the local building code. If you are unsure of the correct installation techniques, wire jacket, or type of conduit to use, consult a professional audio/video installer, building contractor, or the local building and inspection department.

SELECTING THE LOCATION FOR YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS

The CM700DS series loudspeakers are designed to be installed in any standard ceiling. There are two considerations for placing the loudspeaker; ease of running the cable to the loudspeaker and coverage of the loudspeaker. The best stereo effect will be achieved if both the loudspeakers are at equal distance from the listener and closer together than the listener is from the loudspeakers. Avoid installing the loudspeakers near corners to prevent a “boomy” or diffracted sound. The CM700DS series loudspeakers will cover an area of a circle with a 16-foot diameter when mounted at an 8-foot height and pointed straight down. (See Figure 1)

EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU CUT INTO ANY WALL, REVIEW THE PRIOR SECTION ON LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT WHEN SELECTING THE LOCATION FOR YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS.

1.When determining the location of the loudspeaker cutout, keep in mind that the mounting dogs will extend 3/4” beyond the cutout. Make sure that you do not place the edge of the cutout directly next to a ceiling joist. Locate the joists using a stud sensor or by hand knocking. Use the supplied cutout template (remove the largest perforated circle and use cardboard square with hole as the template) to determine how large of a hole you will need to cut. These templates are packed with your loudspeakers between the styrofoam packing and the ends of the box.

2.Once you have determined a possible position for the cutout, drill a 1/8” pilot hole just barely through the ceiling (1/2” to 5/8” deep in most homes) in the center of your proposed loudspeaker location.

BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THROUGH EXISTING WIRES, PIPES, OR STRUCTURE. IF YOU FEEL ANY EXTRA RESISTANCE AS YOU ARE DRILLING, STOP.

CM750DS, CM760DS specifications

Niles Audio has long been a trusted name in the world of high-fidelity sound systems, and their CM760DS and CM750DS in-ceiling speakers exemplify the brand's commitment to delivering exceptional audio performance. These speakers are ideal for both residential and commercial installations, offering an array of features that ensure an immersive listening experience.

The CM760DS is engineered for superior sound quality, incorporating a 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter. This combination provides a balanced frequency response, allowing for rich bass notes and crisp highs. The dual voice coil design of the CM760DS is particularly noteworthy, as it enables the speaker to deliver superior sound dispersion and stereo imaging, making it perfect for larger spaces.

On the other hand, the CM750DS features a slightly smaller 6.5-inch woofer, paired with a high-performance 1-inch tweeter. While it may appear to be a simpler option, the CM750DS is designed to fill smaller to medium-sized rooms with robust sound, ensuring that every listener can enjoy their favorite music and media regardless of their position in the room.

Both the CM760DS and CM750DS utilize Niles' innovative EasyConnect wiring system, which simplifies installation while ensuring a secure and efficient connection. This design feature reduces installation time and effort, making it a favorite among both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts.

Another technological highlight of these models is their integrated back boxes, which help to minimize sound leakage and enhance acoustic performance. This design characteristic ensures that sound stays within the intended space, preventing disturbances to other rooms while delivering an enveloping audio experience.

Both models are also equipped with paintable grilles, allowing homeowners to customize the appearance of the speakers to blend seamlessly with any décor. This feature, coupled with their low-profile design, ensures that the speakers remain discrete while still delivering powerful sound.

In conclusion, the Niles Audio CM760DS and CM750DS in-ceiling speakers represent a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and stylish design. Their impressive features, including superior sound quality, easy installation, and customizable aesthetics, make them a top choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience. Whether it's for a home theater, music room, or commercial installation, these speakers are built to impress.
