FEATURES ANd BENEFITS
High power, high efficiency digital amplifiers provide tremendous dynamic range for clear
and defined deep bass response. The SW8 features a 1200W dynamic digital power amplifier
and the SW6.5 features an 800W dynamic, digital power amplifier. Both provide high output and
high efficiency, with less heat produced compared to conventional analog power amplifier designs.
High power, long throw active woofer drivers feature black anodized aluminum cones which
provide superior rigidity compared to conventional paper cone designs. This ensures that
during extended passages of high level deep bass output, the driver cone resists breakup, which
provides clean, low distortion sound that brings your music and movies to life!
Dual anodized aluminum cone passive radiators provide additional driver pistonic area, and
their combined output along with the main active driver equals that of a larger single active driver.
In other words, these passive radiators allow them to move a lot more air, bringing more rich, deep
bass to you from a smaller, more compact subwoofer that is easy to blend into your home’s décor.
Installation flexibility includes the option for easy wall or ceiling mounting utilizing the
OmniMount 30.0 ST-MP. This gives you the ultimate flexibility for installing this compact subwoofer.
Advanced configuration flexibility includes stereo (L/R) line inputs along with unbuffered stereo
pass-through line outputs, which also allows you to cascade the output up to three additional
subwoofers. The C5-A2 port (RJ-45 connector) provides the option of an easier and less expensive
wire run using CAT-5 cable from the A/V receiver or processor to the subwoofer via an optional
Niles CAT-5 Balun adapter using standard CAT-5 wiring. A wireless input port provides an additional
input connection option via the available Niles FG01672 wireless transmitter/receiver system,
eliminating the need for a wired signal connection to the subwoofer.
Adjustable low pass frequency, phase and level controls allow precise main speaker and
subwoofer matching and blending. The adjustable frequency control (50 Hz~150 Hz) features a
bypass position, eliminating low pass filtering within the subwoofer. The variable phase control
(0°~180°) allows precise phase matching with the main speakers.
Auto Sense feature provides energy efficiency by putting the subwoofer into standby mode when
no audio signals are input to the sub, and can be disabled for “always on” mode. An LED indicator
provides confirmation of the subwoofer’s power state.
