Features & Benefits - Niles OS6 Installation & Operation Manual

FEATURES & BENEFITS
LONG THROW POLYPROPYLENE WOOFER
The unusually stiff and light polypropylene cone, the butyl rubber surround, the
substantial magnet, and the rigid steel basket are all optimized for large excur-
sions of the woofer. In this way, the five inch cone can create the same deep
bass output of a much larger speaker moving small distances in and out. The
end result is rich satisfying bass from a compact, weather resistant loudspeaker.
ELASTODYNAMIC HYBRID DOME TWEETER
™
In the past, every weather resistant speaker has disappointed listeners with a
fatiguing and harsh treble sound caused by tweeter ringing. In the course of
developing our weather resistant tweeter, we determined that tweeter ringing
can be damped out by a microscopically thin elastomeric coating on a natural
fiber dome substrate. The result is a transparently clear, sweet, natural sounding
tweeter which still maintains extended frequency response.
TAPERING SHAPE
The cabinet of the OS6 is shaped so that the speaker will tuck discretely away
into corners or under eaves.
RIGID, ACOUSTICALLY INERT ENCLOSURE
The cabinet of the OS6 is composed of mineral filled polypropylene. This
material is extremely non-resonant. All you hear is the music.
LOW DIFFRACTION GRILLE AND FRONT BAFFLE
The grille of the OS6 has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, resulting in
acoustical transparency. The front baffle is gently curved in a radius optimized
for the best sound. Sound waves emanating from the woofer and the tweeter
are not reflected by the surrounding parts of the speaker.
