SW-800In-Wall Subwoofer System

FEATURESAND BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

Infrared Sensor Mount

The speaker baffle has a locator designed for the Niles MS-1 MicroSensor,™ a miniature infrared sensor. The MS-1 installs discreetly behind the aluminum grille and therefore minimizes wall clutter in your home. When you want to con- trol your equipment, you simply point your remote control at the speaker with the MS-1 installed from up to 15 feet away.

Low Diffraction,

Paintable Aluminum

Grilles

The MicroPerf aluminum grille has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an

acoustically transparent grille. It is rustproof and can be repainted to match your walls.

SA-100 Subwoofer

Amplifier

The SA-100 incorporates an elec- tronic crossover which divides the signal into deep bass (for the SA- 100/SW-800) and the midrange and treble (for your main amplifier and speakers). Your existing amplifier and speakers will no longer attempt to reproduce deep bass tones. As a result, there will be a huge (approximately 6dB) increase in their dynamic capabil- ity. Your system will sound much better (in the highs and lows) at higher volumes!

There are level, phase and bypass controls enabling you to calibrate the system to any room configura- tion. With built in music sense cir- cuitry, it turns itself on when you start playing the music, and it shuts itself off when you’re through listening.

Up to four SW-800s are powered by a single SA-100 power ampli- fier. The SA-100 delivers over 140 watts to two subwoofers connect- ed in parallel. Additional sub- woofers can be added by com- bining series and parallel connec- tions to maintain a nominal four Ohm load impedance. The SA- 100 has thermal, DC offset and overload protection.

SW-800 In-Wall Enclosure

In developing the Subwoofer system, Niles targeted a prob- lem inherent in conventional in-wall subwoofers _ they radi- ate as much as 50% of their bass output into the surround- ing wall. But that’s not all. This wayward bass is out of phase with the bass projected for- ward. When the two wave- forms combine, some cancella- tion occurs, which translates to weakened and unbalanced bass. With the SW-800 enclo- sure, Niles solves this problem.
