Easy Installation The DS6.3, DS6.5 and DS6.7 employ a bracketless mounting system in existing ceilings. Simply cut a hole in the mount- ing surface, install the frame by tighten the four mounting “dogs” via the front panel screws. The dogs first swivel 90°, then clamp the speaker frame to the drywall as you tighten the screws.
Recommended A mplifier Power For satisfactory performance, we recom- mend an amplifier with a power rating of 10 to 100 watts for the DS6.3; 10 to 150 watts for the DS6.5 and the DS6.7. Curiously, most speakers are not damaged by large amplifiers but by small amplifiers.
Incorporating a Local Volume Control In a multiroom system there is one indis- pensible device for true convenience — a local volume control. It enables you to adjust the volume of the speakers without leaving the room.
6 Introduction Although the DS6.3, DS6.5 and DS6.7 have extensive ability to compensate for unusual placements with their unique piv- oting woofers, tweeters and acoustic fine- tuning switches, placement is still the pri- mary tool for satisfying your particular lis- tening needs.
Placement for Varying Listening Positions If you want the freedom to sit anywhere in a room facing any direction, and/or find that you prefer the “all around you” sound of some car stereos to a conventional “sound stage” facing you, consider the speaker placement techniques profession- al installers use in restaurants and bars.
move the speaker farther away from the listener, both the reflected and the direct sound will dissipate, requiring more power from your surround sound amplifier channels. If the surround sound system you are using has a small five or ten watt amplifier for the rear speakers, stay within five to eight feet of the listening location.
Inst allation F undamen tals Running the Speaker Wire in New Construction If you have doubts about whether you are capable of installing a Niles ceiling mount loudspeakers, consult a Niles dealer or professional installer. They have special tools, techniques, and experience to make the impossible possible.
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.
allel to power cables at least three feet away. T o find exactly where an electrical cable is routed, try inspecting the inside of the wall by turning off the breaker for a particular power outlet or switch, remov- ing the cover plate and switch or recepta- cle, and shining a penlight into the wall.
In traditional wood stud / drywall construc- tion you should first cut the hole for the speaker and utilize the large hole to auger across the (through the ceiling joists) for as far as your drill bit will take you. Sometimes, you will need to use the “notching” technique to reach areas your drill bit won’t reach or to turn corners (e.
Inst allation in Ne w Constr uction Insulating the Ceiling Cavity If feasible, fill the ceiling cavity with insu- lation at this point . Mounting the New Construction Bracket The hole saving bracket enables a faster and cleaner final installation of the speak- er.
Inst allation in Existing Constr uc tion IMPORTANT: Before you cut into any wall, review the sections on running wire and speaker placement. 1. When determining the location of the speaker cutout keep in mind that the mounting dogs will extend 3/4" beyond the cutout.
F inal Ins t allation in Ne w or Existing Constr uc tion 1. If it is possible to lay a batt of insulation into the ceiling cavity do so. Remember to use equal amounts of insulation for each speaker. 2. Check the position of the Impedance jumper on the crossover PC board.
8. Holding the speaker in the palm of your hand, insert the speaker into the frame, twist clockwise to lock. (See Figure 18) . 9. Direct the Tweeter. The tweeter is directed by gently pushing on the edge of the tweeter housing. (See Figure 19) . It will move 17° in any direction.
17 Oper ations Oper a tion Listening at Higher Volumes It requires more power to achieve a reason- able volume of sound in a large room than it does in a small room. It is possible (even if you are not a teenager) to turn the volume so high that the amplifier runs out of power .
