INTRODUCTION
The Niles HDLCRbx High-Definition, Left/Center/Right Channel Loudspeaker is expressly designed
for superior sonic quality in front left-, center-, or front right-channel applications. It employs ad-
vanced technology components that extract the subtle nuances in recorded music or the thunder-
ous action sound in a movie. The HDLCRbx is the perfect choice wherever quality of sound is the
most important consideration.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DUAL 5-1/4-INCH TCC WOOFERS WITH BUTYL-RUBBER
SUSPENSION
The HDLCRbx features newly-developed woofer-cone material that combines injection-molded
polypropylene with talc, carbon, and ceramic (TCC) stiffening agents. As a result, the cone offers
extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. Additionally, the use of a butyl-
rubber suspension offers substantial benefits, including increased movement without mechanical
limitations, weather resistance, and improved midrange damping for better detail and clarity.
BUMPBACK™ WOOFER MAGNETS
Niles engineers have utilized a unique woofer magnet construction, allowing far greater “throw” or
voice-coil excursion. The result is a new level of deep bass performance.
1-INCH TETERON TRI-LAMINATE TWEETER
The HDLCRbx’s 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,
natural-sounding tweeter, which still maintains extended frequency response.
D.S.F.G. DIRECTED SOUND FIELD GEOMETRY ® DELIVERS
OPTIMUM PHASE RESPONSE TO LISTENERS AND
COMPENSATES FOR HIGH LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
The HDLCRbx employs Niles’ D.S.F.G. Directed Sound Field Geometry ® . With D.S.F.G., the tweeter is
offset from the center of the dual woofers. The resulting acoustic interaction between the woofers
and the offset tweeter results in the flattest frequency and phase response, approximately
15-degrees off-axis from the tweeter. This gives optimum performance to a seated listener, even if
the loudspeaker is mounted above or below a TV or screen.
