Applications - Niles CM7HD Installation Manual

APPLICATIONS

Niles CM Loudspeakers are designed to be installed in any standard ceiling.
When choosing a location, thought should be given to the sound coverage of the
loudspeaker, and ease of running the speaker wire. Niles manufactures a large
variety of speaker models for many different applications, with special models for
shallow depth ceilings, models with Rear Wave Enclosures to minimize any sound
bleeding through to adjacent rooms, etc.
STEREO SOUND APPLICATIONS
The best stereo effect will be achieved if both
loudspeakers are at an equal distance from the
listening area. Ideally all loudspeakers should
be on the same horizontal plane (Figure 6). Avoid
installing loudspeakers near corners to prevent
a "boomy" or diffracted sound. Also note that
the lower the ceiling, the closer the loudspeaker
should be placed to the listener.
HOME THEATER
APPLICATIONS
Left/Center/Right – Position the center
channel loudspeaker directly over the
television, with the left and right speakers
equidistant from the center. The separation
between the left and right should not be
more than the distance to the primary
seating area (Figure 7).
Side Surround Effects (CM7FX) – Position
surround effects loudspeakers to the sides
of the listening area with the tweeters in-line
with the listener. The tweeters should point
to the front and rear of the room (Figure 7).
Rear Surround Effects (CM7FX) – Position
surround effects loudspeakers behind the
listening area, to the inside of the front left
and right speakers. The tweeters should
point to the sides of the room (Figure 7).
