FEATURES AND BENEFITS
12-INCH WOOFER WITH CARBON-FIBER-IMPREGNATED
PAPER CONE AND BUTYL-RUBBER SURROUND
The SW300 features a 12-inch long-throw, front-firing woofer with a Carbon-Fiber-Impregnated
Paper Cone combined with a Butyl-Rubber Surround for maximum bass response with reduced
sonic breakup and lower distortion.
SOPHISTICATED MOTOR ASSEMBLY WITH HIGH BL
MAGNET, EXTENDED POLE PIECE, AND CAST
ALUMINUM DRIVER BASKET/FRAME
The SW300’s woofer features a sophisticated motor assembly that combines a high BL magnet
and extended pole piece for deep bass response and clean bass tones. Moreover, the cast
aluminum driver basket/frame provides extra rigidity to the entire assembly for consistent
performance over prolonged use.
ADVANCED DIGITAL AMPLIFIER CREATES AMPLE POWER
WITH LITTLE HEAT
Powered by an internal 300-watt (rms) advanced digital amplifier, the SW300 can easily
reproduce 600-watt peaks with very little heat produced. Niles uses the latest digital technology
so bass response will be extremely fast and absolutely accurate, no matter what audio material is
being reproduced.
SEPARATE SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROLS AND
TRIGGER INPUT FOR MOVIES OR MUSIC
Separate subwoofer level controls for music and movies provide the right bass levels for different
types of programs. When activated by 12 volts input, the SW300’s MOVIE MODE trigger input will
automatically adjust the bass level appropriate for the source material.
RCA LINE-LEVEL AND LOUDSPEAKER-LEVEL INPUTS
In addition to gold-plated RCA line-level inputs, the SW300 features a gold-plated, non-filtered RCA
LFE (Low Frequency Effects) line-level input for a direct connection from a 5.1 or 7.1 home theater
sound processor. Using the “LFE” input bypasses the “Low Pass” frequency control.
The SW300 also has gold-plated, loudspeaker-level, five-way binding-post input connections.
Using this input allows control over the “Low Pass” frequency output of the SW300.
