Dual 5-1/4-inch TCC Woofers with Butyl-Rubber Suspension
The HDLCRbx features newly-developed woofer-cone material that combines injection-molded polypropylene with talc, carbon, and ceramic (TCC) stiffening agents. As a result, the cone offers extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. Additionally, the use of a butylrubber suspension offers substantial benefits, including increased movement without mechanical limitations, weather resistance, and improved midrange damping for better detail and clarity.
BUMPBACK(TM) Woofer Magnets
Niles engineers have utilized a unique woofer magnet construction, allowing far greater throw or voice-coil excursion. The result is a new level of deep bass performance.
1-inch Teteron Tri-Laminate Tweeter
The HDLCRbx`s Teteron Tweeter employs a tri-laminate design consisting of an inner textile layer, which forms the dome, a high damping layer to kill unwanted resonances, and an outside layer ofurethane to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparently clear, sweet, natural-sounding tweeter, which still maintains extended frequency response.
D.S.F.G. (Directed Sound Field Geometry) Delivers Optimum Phase Response to Listeners and Compensates for High Loudspeaker Placement
The HDLCRbx employs Niles` D.S.F.G. Directed Sound Field Geometry. With D.S.F.G., the tweeter is offset from the center of the dual woofers. The resulting acoustic interaction between the woofers and the offset tweeter results in the flattest frequency and phase response, approximately 15-degrees off-axis from the tweeter. This gives optimum performance to a seated listener, even if the loudspeaker is mounted above or below a TV or screen.
Acoustic Fine Tuning
The HDLCRbx includes acoustic fine-tuning controls on the rear panel. These controls enable optimization of the high frequencies and dialog with 3 dB of Treble Cut and 3 dB of Dialog Enhancement.
D.S.F.G. Directed Sound Field Geometry Defeat
The HDLCRbx includes a rear-panel control that enables the installer to deactivate the D.S.F.G. Directed Sound Field Geometry in certain applications. For example, when the loudspeaker is installed at ear level behind a perforated screen, the loudspeaker`s response can be improved with D.S.F.G. defeated.
Niles` HD High-Definition Voice Matching
Ensures compatibility with other Niles HD High-Definition in-wall, on-wall, and ceiling-mount models to ccommodate a wide range of system designs.
Dolby Digital Ready
The HDLCRbx is specifically designed for Home Theater Sound. This model exceeds the specifications
set forth by Dolby Laboratories for the accurate reproduction of Dolby Digital-Encoded Sources.
