FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKER

1.At each loudspeaker, separate the loudspeaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each loudspeaker wire. Using correct polarity, connect the appropriate conductor to each five-way binding post.

NOTE: Observe correct polarity: Positive (+) goes to the RED post and negative (–) goes to the BLACK post. If you are unsure of wire polarity, see the section, Checking Loudspeaker Phase on page 8.

2.Connect the other end of the loudspeaker wires to the home theater receiver (or ampli- fier) in the same way.

3.Turn on the home theater receiver and calibrate all loudspeakers in the system accord- ing to the receiver manufacturer’s instructions.

CHECKING LOUDSPEAKER ORIENTATION FOR D.S.F.G. DIRECTED SOUND FIELD GEOMETRY®

The D.S.F.G. Directed Sound Field Geometry provides optimum off-axis phase and frequency re- sponse due to the acoustic interaction between the woofers and the tweeter. The flattest response will be obtained approximately 15 degrees off-axis in the direction opposite the tweeter. For opti- mum performance, refer to Figure 4 (on the next page) and orient the loudspeaker as follows:

•For center-channel use above a TV, place the HDLCRbx horizontally with the tweeter up. Set the D.S.F.G. switch to On.

•For center-channel use below a TV, place the HDLCRbx horizontally with the tweeter down. Set the D.S.F.G. switch to On.

•For front-channel use, place one HDLCRbx vertically on either side of the TV so the tweeters face outward. If the HDLCRbxs are at ear level, set both D.S.F.G. switches to Defeat. If the HDLCRbxs are above or below ear level, set both D.S.F.G. switches to On.

This model is part of the Niles HDL series, which is renowned for its blend of innovative technology and aesthetic appeal. The HDLCRBX stands out with its versatile features, making it an ideal choice for various home entertainment setups.

One of the key features of the HDLCRBX is its tri-mode functionality, allowing it to be used as a left, center, or right channel speaker. This flexibility makes it particularly suitable for home theater systems, ensuring that dialogue is clear and music is rich and immersive. Built with a 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer, the HDLCRBX delivers deep, accurate bass response, while dual 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeters provide crisp highs and detailed midrange frequencies. The combination of these driver elements results in a well-balanced sound profile that is capable of filling large spaces with engaging audio.

The HDLCRBX incorporates Niles' innovative CVF (Constant Voltage Filter) technology, which optimizes performance across varying power levels. This ensures that the speaker can handle a range of amplification inputs without distortion, allowing it to perform effectively in different settings, whether it’s a cozy living room or a larger entertainment area. Additionally, its 8-ohm impedance allows for compatibility with a wide array of amplifiers and receivers, providing users with greater flexibility in their audio systems.

Another notable characteristic of the HDLCRBX is its architectural design. The speaker features a low-profile grille that can be painted to match the room's decor, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any environment. The grille is also magnetic, making it easy to remove for painting or cleaning without damaging the speaker.

Durability and ease of installation are also key aspects of the HDLCRBX. Constructed with high-quality materials, the speaker is built to last, while its straightforward mounting system allows for quick and hassle-free installation. Niles also includes detailed instructions to facilitate a seamless setup process.

In summary, the Niles Audio HDLCRBX is a versatile, high-performance in-wall speaker that excels in both sound quality and aesthetic design.
