F eat ur es and Benefit s Hi-Polymer Woofer The CS525 and CS650 models feature a unique woofer construction process called Hi-Polymer Bonding that combines a waterproof nylon layer with a traditional pulp-based long throw woofer with a treated foam rubber surround.
Inst allation C onsider ations Recommended A mplifier Power For satisfactory performance, we recom- mend an amplifier with a power rating of five to fifty watts for the CS525 and CS650. Curiously, most speakers are not damaged by large amplifiers but by small amplifiers.
light switches and dimmers). V olume con- trols are connected in line with the speak- er, so you must connect the wire from the amplifier to the volume control and then from the volume control to the speaker. Speaker Wire Use 2-conductor speaker wire when con- necting CS speakers to your receiver or amplifier .
Speak er Placement Placement for Critical Listening If you like to imagine that the band or orchestra is playing in front of you as you listen to music, or you are very conscious of clarity, detail and the textures of the individual instruments, you are a critical listener.
The Boundary Effect Corners can affect the bass response of the speaker powerfully! This is called the boundary effect. Y ou will emphasize par- ticular bass frequencies and cancel out other bass frequencies when you place speakers close to the wall/ceiling bound- ary or a corner wall boundary .
soundtrack to envelope you in the envi- ronment on screen. They will place back- ground music, rain sounds, traffic noise, etc. on the “surround” soundtrack.
Inst allation F undament als Running the Speaker Wire in New Construction If you have doubts about whether you are capable of installing a Niles Blueprint Series In-Wall Speaker in your walls, con- sult a Niles dealer or professional installer. They have special tools, techniques, and experience to make the impossible possi- ble.
Try to line the holes up perfectly, because it makes pulling the wire much easier. A good technique is to snap a chalk line across the face of the studs or against the bottom of the ceiling joists. Then work backward so that you can always see the holes you have already drilled.
Identify where all of your electrical, phone, and TV wiring is likely to be and plan to route around it all. You can acci- dentally induce 60 Hz hum on your speakers if you run your speaker wire right beside electrical wire for more than a few feet. T ry to keep speaker wire running par- allel to power cables at least 3 feet away.
plenum rated wire (check your local building codes, some municipalities require conduit). In traditional wood stud / drywall construc- tion you can cut the hole for the speaker and utilize the large hole to auger holes across, up or down the wall for as far as your drill bit will take you.
Inst allation of Speak er s IMPORTANT: Before you cut into any wall, review the sections on running wire and speaker placement. 1 . Drill a 1 /8” pilot hole just barely through the wallboard or dry .
5. Fill the wall cavity with insulation at this point. Remember to use equal amounts of insulation for each speaker. Installing the Speaker If the grille is already installed, remove it by using a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame (See Figure 12) .
Speaker Phase Speaker wire has two conductors. One conductor is attached to the negative (-) terminals and one conductor is attached to the positive (+) terminals of both your speaker and your amplifier. Usually , the wire is marked for your convenience.
Oper ation Listening at Higher Volumes It requires more power to achieve a rea- sonable volume of sound in a large room than it does in a small room. It is possi- ble (even if you are not a teenager) to turn the volume so high that the amplifi- er runs out of power .
