Niles Audio HD5, HD8.3 Introduction, Teteron Tri-laminate Tweeter, Antiresonant Wave Bracing

Introduction

The HD or High Definition group of In-Wall Loudspeakers offers speakers expressly designed for superior sonic quality. They employ advanced technolo- gy components designed to extract the subtle nuances in recorded music or the thunderous action in a movie. They are

perfect anywhere that quality of sound is the most important consideration.

An HD5/HD6/HD8/HD8.3 Speaker Kit; and the corresponding Bracket Kit (5, 6 or 8) is required to install one pair of HD5/HD6/HD8/HD8.3 In-Wall loud- speakers in either new or existing construction.

Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

Injection Molded TCC (Talc, Carbon and Ceramic) Woofer with Butyl Rubber Surround Vented Pole Piece, Vented Pole Piece and Custom Debris Screen

The Niles High Definition series loud- speakers employ a newly developed cone material that combines injection molded polypropylene with talc, carbon and ceramic stiffening agents. The result is a cone that offers extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. Additionally, the woofer employs a vented pole piece for increased bass linearity and a Butyl Rubber Surround for improved midrange damping and clarity as well as moisture resistance.

Housed in a Precision Adjustment

Mechanism

The HD series Teteron Tweeter employs a tri-laminate design consisting of an inner textile layer which forms the dome, a high damping layer to kill unwanted resonances and an outside layer of urethane to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparently clear, sweet, natur- al sounding tweeter which still maintains extended frequency response.

This advanced tweeter is housed in a preci- sion adjustment mechanism which permits the tweeter to be accurately positioned after

installation for optimum performance and without the diffraction distortion typical of traditional pivoting tweeters.

Antiresonant Wave Bracing

The HD speaker’s baffle design employs specially molded ribs that increase the rigidity of the baffle and raise the resonant frequency so that less “out-of-phase” can- cellation takes place. Equally important, the ribs are curved and crossed to further shift vibration modes away from low-bass canceling frequencies. This keeps bass tones rich and dynamic.

Front-Mounted Bass & Treble Controls

Niles High Definition speaker models feature baffle-mounted tone controls for Bass and Treble that enable instant fine tuning after the speakers are installed. This feature helps to lessen the effects of less than perfect placement or other room acoustics anomalies.

Snap-in Baffle Assembly

This proprietary Niles design enables installers to attach Niles loudspeaker assemblies to previously installed frames without additional hardware or tools. Niles' Snap-in design makes it easy to upgrade Niles' speakers after installation without the hassles associated with removal and re- installation of traditional designs. Snap-in baffles make installation of Niles speaker baffles easier and faster than other in-wall brands.
