prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparent clear, sweet, natural sounding 
tweeter, which still maintains its extended frequency response. The two separate 
tweeters of the SI models allow the cabinet to play in one-speaker stereo mode 
or two-speaker stereo mode The RS5 models utilize a custom 3/4” Kaladex

®

 

dome tweeter with fluid cooling designed for ultra-wide disperson and clear high 
frequency response.

TWEETER PLACEMENT IMPROVES COVERAGE AND DISPERSION

The tweeters are angled twenty degrees up from the woofer. The dual tweeters of 
the SI models  are also angled twenty degrees from each other. This means that 
the tweeters are “aimed” at the listener and not at the ground.

DUAL PRECISION CROSSOVERS - SI MODELS ONLY

A customized electronic dividing network inside the cabinet precisely distributes 
the music to the woofer and each tweeter, keeping the two channels completely 
isolated from each other. The three pole two-way design of the crossover 
provides excellent stereo imaging into each channel, low distortion and superior 
sonic performance.

CONEFORWARD™ DESIGN

Other rock speaker manufacturers mount their drivers from inside the cabinet. 
This moves the front of the driver inside the cabinet creating a tunnel for the 
driver to play through. This tunnel adversely affects the sound quality by 
making the loudspeaker sound “narrow” and “far away”. Niles’ engineers have 
used a proprietary ConeForward™ design technique that moves the woofer 
and tweeter as close to the grille as possible. Combining the ConeForward™ 
design technique with tight manufacturing controls leads to unparalleled sonic 
performance and imaging from an outdoor rock loudspeaker.

RIGID ACOUSTICALLY INERT CABINET CONSTRUCTION

Niles utilizes a unique multi-layer cabinet construction to achieve superior non-
resonance of the loudspeaker cabinet. This ensures that all you hear is the music 
and not the cabinet ringing.

LOW DIFFRACTION  MICROPERF™ ALUMINUM GRILLES

The aluminum MicroPerf™ grilles on the RS PRO series loudspeakers have 
hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an acoustically transparent 
grille. The aluminum construction resists oxidation enabling years of trouble-free 
operation in the harshest conditions. We paint both sides of the grille for added 
protection.
