INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Figure 2 shows how this would work for a square area of 35 feet by 28 feet and using stereo signals. Using our spacing rules as shown in Table 1, leads to the need for four speakers. The loudspeaker coverage pattern is shown in the diagram.

Figure 2 Two-speaker Stereo Coverage – with 4 speakers

Figure 3 shows the same area as Figure 2, however the number of speakers has increased by 2. You can see a greater area of stereo coverage and this would also have a more even sound level across the listening area. This illustrates the fact that not using the maximum spacing allowed leads to improved sound quality.

Designed to deliver exceptional sound quality while blending seamlessly into natural landscapes, these speakers are ideal for patios, gardens, and poolside areas.

One of the defining features of the RS8Si offerings is their rugged design. Both models are constructed with high-quality materials that are resistant to harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and intense sunlight.

Installation and connectivity are made simple with the RS8Si models. They come equipped with integrated mounting points that ensure secure placement in various outdoor locations, alongside the option for ground or wall mounting. Featuring easy-to-use connections, these speakers support a straightforward setup with a variety of audio systems.

Another noteworthy technology is the speaker’s weather-resistant design, including an all-weather seal that protects the internal components from moisture and debris. This durability, combined with high-quality sound performance, places the Niles Audio RS8Si speakers as a leading choice for outdoor audio applications.

In summary, the Niles Audio RS8Si Sandstone and RS8Si Granite speakers offer a sophisticated blend of durability, aesthetics, and audio excellence.
