APPLICATIONS

Niles CM Loudspeakers are designed to be installed in any standard ceiling.

When choosing a location, thought should be given to the sound coverage of the

loudspeaker, and ease of running the speaker wire. Niles manufactures a large

variety of speaker models for many different applications, with special models for

shallow depth ceilings, models with Rear Wave Enclosures to minimize any sound

bleeding through to adjacent rooms, etc.

STEREO SOUND APPLICATIONS

The best stereo effect will be achieved if both

loudspeakers are at an equal distance from the

listening area. Ideally all loudspeakers should

be on the same horizontal plane (Figure 6). Avoid

installing loudspeakers near corners to prevent

a “boomy” or diffracted sound. Also note that

the lower the ceiling, the closer the loudspeaker

should be placed to the listener.

HOME THEATER

APPLICATIONS

Left/Center/Right – Position the center

channel loudspeaker directly over the

television, with the left and right speakers

equidistant from the center. The separation

between the left and right should not be

more than the distance to the primary

seating area (Figure 7).

Side Surround Effects (CM7FX) – Position

surround effects loudspeakers to the sides

of the listening area with the tweeters in-line

with the listener. The tweeters should point

to the front and rear of the room (Figure 7).

Rear Surround Effects (CM7FX) – Position

surround effects loudspeakers behind the

listening area, to the inside of the front left

and right speakers. The tweeters should

point to the sides of the room (Figure 7).

SINGLE SPEAKER STEREO INPUT APPLICATIONS

(CM7SI, CM8SI)

Stereo Input loudspeakers are ideal for small rooms where positioning two

loudspeakers is not practical. Examples would be a small kitchen, bathroom,

hallway, or small bedroom. Locate the loudspeaker as close to the center of the

room as possible for the most even distribution of sound (Figure 8). Avoid installing

the loudspeaker near a corner to prevent a “boomy” or diffracted sound.
