Introduction
Features and Benefits
Fully pivoting woofer and tweeter
A pivoting woofer assembly can adjust up
to 15° focusing bass and midrange tones
directly at the listening area for superb
imaging and unparalleled clarity. Within
the woofer assembly, the tweeter is housed
in its own low-diffraction pivoting assembly
that can adjust up to 17° in any direction to
create direct or diffused sound fields.
No-Strip Speaker Terminal
Niles patented No-Strip terminal enables
speakers to be connected without strip-
ping the speaker wire. No-Strip terminals
eliminate fumbling with wire strippers and
input terminals. They are color coded and
plug into the crossover circuit boards on
the back of Niles speakers, resulting in
positive in-phase connections every time.
Moisture and UV Resistant
Construction
The DS6300AT and DS6500AT loud-
speakers are suitable for use in high mois-
ture environments. The drivers are resis-
tant to moisture and UV exposure; the
grille is made of powder-coated alu-
minum. However, the speakers are not
waterproof and direct contact with water
should be avoided.
Engineered for Ceiling Placement
The increased popularity of cathedral and
vaulted ceilings pose a distinct sonic chal-
lenge for conventional ceiling loudspeak-
ers. That is because conventional ceiling
speakers radiate sound perpendicular to
their mounting surface, which usually is
not where the listening area is. DS
Directed Soundfield Loudspeakers over-
come this challenge and allow sound to
be directed into the listening area regard-
less of ceiling angle.
Installer Selectable Acoustic
Fine Tuning
Installers can select to fine tune the bass or
treble to accommodate reflective surfaces
and corner loading. This selection is
accomplished via the baffle-mounted tre-
ble control (-1.5dB, flat and +1.5dB) and
PC board mounted bass jumper (flat, -1dB,
and -2dB).
4 or 8 ohm Selectable Impedance
The DS6300AT and DS6500AT give the
installer flexibility to select the speaker’s
impedance — 4 ohms for systems where
maximum current transfer and output
level is desired; 8 ohms for systems utiliz-
ing multiple speaker pairs where amplifier
loading is a consideration.
MicroPerf ™ Grilles
The DS6300AT and DS6500AT employ
Niles exclusive MicroPerf grille construc-
tion. The exceptionally tight hole pattern
provides acoustic transparency at all audio
frequencies and enables the speaker ele-
ments to remain invisible. MicroPerf
grilles can also be painted to blend seem-
lessly with the surrounding decor.
Niles new DS Directed Soundfield loud-
speakers feature a fully adjustable, inde-
pendently pivoting, woofer and tweeter
that enables the loudspeakers to accu-
rately recreate high fidelity sound
regardless of where they are located in the ceiling — preserving interior design
integrity and delivering life-like sonic
quality that is not available from conven-
tional ceiling speakers.
