INTRODUCTION
Niles CM6HDfx High-Definition, Side/Rear Channel Effects, Ceiling Mounted Loudspeakers are
expressly designed for superior sonic quality. They employ advanced technology components that
extract the subtle nuances in recorded music or the thunderous action sound in a movie. They are
perfect for applications where in-wall or on-wall surround speakers are not practical. Moreover,
these ceiling mount surround speakers are designed for applications where quality of sound is the
most important consideration.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
INJECTION-MOLDED TCC WOOFER WITH
BUTYL-RUBBER SURROUND
The CM6HDfx features a newly-developed cone material that combines injection-molded polypro-
pylene 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 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.
DUAL 3/4” TRI-LAMINATE TETERON TWEETER DOMES
WITH FLUID-COOLING AND ULTRA-WIDE DISPERSION
FOR CLEAR AND DETAILED HIGH FREQUENCIES
Each tweeter’s tri-laminate design consists 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. The 20°-pivot angle also ensures optimum, detailed
high-frequency coverage.
DIRECT/DIFFUSE SETTING
The DIRECT/DIFFUSE switch allows the installer to select different sound-field patterns for different
applications. In the DIFFUSE mode, the tweeters are “out of phase,” producing a very natural-
sounding diffuse surround effect. In the DIRECT mode, the tweeters are “in phase,” producing a
more present (“in-your-face”) surround effect.
N
OTE: BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS MUST BE ORIENTED WITH THE “OUT-OF-PHASE”
TWEETER (IDENTIFIED BY A GRAY DOT) SO THEY POINT IN THE SAME DIRECTION, RELATIVE TO
THE LISTENER. SEE PLACEMENT DIAGRAMS STARTING ON PAGE 6 FOR RECOMMENDED PLACEMENTS
AND SETTINGS.
