Introduction
Features and Benefits
Carbon/Glass Fiber with
Butyl Rubber Surround
The CM5AT, CM6AT and CM8AT loud-
speakers employ an advanced cone material
that combines carbon and fiber glass in a
special weave that maximizes stiffness and
minimizes cone break up. The result is a
cone that delivers deep, powerful bass and
unrivaled dynamic response.
1" Fluid-Cooled Ultra-Wide Dispersion
Tri-Laminate Teteron Tweeter in
Custom Pivoting Coaxial Enclosure
The Teteron tweeter employs a tri-lami-
nate design consisting of an inner textile
layer which forms the dome, a high damp-
ing layer to kill unwanted resonances and
an outside layer of urethane to add stiff-
ness and prevent breakup modes. The
result is a transparently clear, sweet, natur-
al sounding tweeter which still maintains
extended frequency response. This
advanced tweeter is housed in a precision
adjustment mechanism which permits the
tweeter to be accurately positioned after
installation for optimum performance and
without the diffraction distortion typical of
traditional pivoting tweeters.
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
simply 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 CM5AT, CM6AT and CM8AT 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 CM5AT, CM6AT and CM8AT have
been specifically designed and tuned for
optimum performance when mounted in a
ceiling. The custom designed low diffrac-
tion tweeter housing is mounted coaxially
to avoid the “venetian blind” effect com-
mon with ceiling speakers that employ
sub-baffles as tweeter mounts. The 20°
tweeter pivot angle ensures optimum
high-frequency coverage.
Installer Selectable Acoustic
Fine Tuning
Installers can select to de-emphasize the
bass or treble by 2dB to accommodate
reflective surfaces and corner loading.
This selection is accomplished via baffle-
mounted controls that are accessible after
the speaker has been installed.
The AT or
Advanced Technology group of
ceiling mount Loudspeakers is designed to
deliver truly stunning performance with
optimum installation flexibility. All models
in the AT series are constructed using the
highest quality components and utilize
advanced materials technology to create
speakers capable of reproducing both
music and movie soundtracks with incred-
ible realism and sonic impact. They are
perfect anywhere that ultimate sound
quality is required.
