Niles Audio Niles RS8Si Sandstone - Manual (Page 5)

in the two-speaker stereo mode, it has ultra-wide dispersion. These features
improve the high frequency coverage of the loudspeaker and ensure that all the
benefits of the 1" Teteron Tweeter are heard and not lost in the surroundings.
Dual Precision Crossovers
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
RS8Si 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
patent-pending ConeForward™ design technique that moves the woofer and
tweeter as close to the grille as possible. Combining the ConeForward™ design
technique with tight quality control leads to unparalleled sonic performance and
imaging from an outdoor rock loudspeaker.
Rigid Acoustically Inert Cabinet Construction
Niles’ utilizes a unique 4-layer cabinet construction to achieve superior non-
resonance of the loudspeaker cabinet. This insures that all you hear is the music
and not the cabinet ringing.
Low Diffraction Microperf™ Aluminum Grilles
The aluminum Microperf™ grilles on the
RS8Si 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.
Dual Connection Cables with Water Resistant Wire Nuts
Connecting the loudspeaker’s cable to the cable running from the house is always a
point of concern for the installer. If this connection is not done right, the cable will
corrode and the connection will fail. To make sure this connection is trouble-free,
we provide two three-foot connection cables rated for burial underground and
specialized waterproof wire nuts. Our wire nuts are filled with a waterproof sealant.
Just insert the wires and twist them together. Then bury the cable. The connection
will be protected from the elements.
Security Bracket and Cable
Using the security bracket and cable supplied with the loudspeaker provides a
simple but effective method to protect the loudspeaker from theft or unapproved
movement. You can easily upgrade our standard security mounting method to
provide even greater security, if you require it.
