INSTALLER-SELECTABLE ACOUSTIC FINE TUNING

Using the baffle-mounted TWEETER LEVEL control, the installer can de-emphasize the treble response 
by 3 dB after speaker installation to accommodate reflective surfaces and corner loading.

MICROPERF™ ALUMINUM GRILLES

Niles’ exclusive MicroPerf™ grille construction provides an exceptionally tight hole pattern for 
acoustic transparency at all audio frequencies and enables the speaker elements to remain invisible. 
MicroPerf grilles can also be painted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding decor. Additionally, the 
aluminum grille material will never rust or discolor over time.

EASY INSTALLATION

Each CM6HDfx speaker employs a bracketless mounting system for easy installation in an existing 
ceiling. The installer simply cuts a hole in the mounting surface, removes the speaker grille, connects 
the wires, and places the unit in the opening. The installation is completed by tightening four mounting 
“dogs” (via front panel screws) to clamp the speaker frame to the drywall.

HOLE-SAVING BRACKET

Available as an optional accessory, a CM6 Series New-Construction Bracket can be installed as a 
“hole-saver” for each speaker before the drywall goes up. Later, the drywall contractor cuts  
speaker holes after drywall installation, thereby reducing installation time and minimizing the  
chance for lost wires.

OPTIONAL FIRE-RATED METAL ENCLOSURE

Optimizes performance and ensures code compliance.

NILES’ HD HIGH-DEFINITION VOICE MATCHING

Ensures compatibility with other Niles HD High-Definition in-wall, on-wall, and ceiling mount models to 
accommodate a wide range of system designs.

DOLBY

 DIGITAL READY

set forth by Dolby Laboratories for the accurate reproduction of Dolby Digital-Encoded Sources.
