INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

PLACING THE OS6 FOR THE BEST SOUND QUALITY

The OS6’s dispersion pattern is very broad. The speaker is very sensitive and will handle a lot of amplifier power. This allows good sound quality over an extremely large listening area. However, if a single pair is positioned to provide coverage of a very large room or patio, you will have “hot spots” of loud sound when you are near the speakers. The best way to avoid hot spots for a large space is to use several pairs. A good rule of thumb is a pair of speakers for every 200 to 400 square feet of listening area. Your local Niles dealer is a good source for advice on speaker placement for your particular installation.

When using more than one pair, it is usually best to alternate a left channel and then a right channel, so that you never have a "left next to a left".

The position of the speakers and the surroundings around them play a very important role in how a stereo image is created. You should experiment to find the very best position for your speakers. Here are some guidelines to make the process quick and easy.
