Page 10: Applications
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. - Page 11 Locate the loudspeaker as close to the center of the room as possible for the most even distribution of sound (Figure 8). Avoid installing the loudspeaker near a corner to prevent a “boomy” or diffracted sound. Figure 8. Single Loudspeaker Stereo Input Application. NILES AUDIO – 1-800-BUY-HIFI – 1-760-710-0992...
