Niles Audio HD5 - Manual (Page 3)

Features and Benefits
Injection Molded TCC™ (Talc, Carbon
and Ceramic) Woofer with Butyl Rubber
Surround Vented Pole Piece, Vented
Pole Piece and Custom Debris Screen
The Niles High Definition series loud-
speakers employ a newly developed cone
material that combines injection molded
polypropylene with talc, carbon and
ceramic stiffening agents. The result is a
cone that offers extreme stiffness and light
weight for accurate, dynamic response.
Additionally, the woofer employs a vented
pole piece for increased bass linearity and
a Butyl Rubber Surround for improved
midrange damping and clarity as well as
moisture resistance.
1” Teteron Tri-laminate Tweeter
Housed in a Precision Adjustment
Mechanism
The HD series Teteron Tweeter employs a
tri-laminate design consisting of an inner
textile layer which forms the dome, a high
damping layer to kill unwanted resonances
and an outside layer of urethane to add
stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The
result is a transparently clear, sweet, natur-
al sounding tweeter which still maintains
extended frequency response.
This advanced tweeter is housed in a preci-
sion adjustment mechanism which permits
the tweeter to be accurately positioned after
installation for optimum performance and
without the diffraction distortion typical of
traditional pivoting tweeters.
Antiresonant Wave Bracing
The HD speaker’s baffle design employs
specially molded ribs that increase the
rigidity of the baffle and raise the resonant
frequency so that less “out-of-phase” can-
cellation takes place. Equally important,
the ribs are curved and crossed to further
shift vibration modes away from low-bass
canceling frequencies. This keeps bass
tones rich and dynamic.
Front-Mounted Bass & Treble Controls
Niles High Definition speaker models
feature baffle-mounted tone controls for
Bass and Treble that enable instant fine
tuning after the speakers are installed. This
feature helps to lessen the effects of less
than perfect placement or other room
acoustics anomalies.
Snap-in Baffle Assembly
This proprietary Niles design enables
installers to attach Niles loudspeaker
assemblies to previously installed frames
without additional hardware or tools. Niles'
Snap-in design makes it easy to upgrade
Niles' speakers after installation without the
hassles associated with removal and re-
installation of traditional designs. Snap-in
baffles make installation of Niles speaker
baffles easier and faster than other in-wall
brands.

Introduction
The HD or High Definition group of
In-Wall Loudspeakers offers speakers
expressly designed for superior sonic
quality. They employ advanced technolo-
gy components designed to extract the
subtle nuances in recorded music or the
thunderous action in a movie. They are
perfect anywhere that quality of sound is
the most important consideration.
An HD5/HD6/HD8/HD8.3 Speaker Kit;
and the corresponding Bracket Kit (5,
6 or 8) is required to install one pair of
HD5/HD6/HD8/HD8.3 In-Wall loud-
speakers in either new or existing
construction.
