INTRODUCTION
Cynema
Soundfield
delivers
both
unobtrusive
appearance
and
high
performance.
We
created
the
new
term
Cynema
Soundfield
to
describe
the
system
because
it
is
more
than
just
a
soundbar
or
a
collection
of
independent
speakers.
Much
more
versatile
than
a
traditional
soundbar,
speakers
can
be
placed
in
a
variety
of
configurations
to
optimize
audio
performance.
Aesthetically,
the
Cynema
Soundfield's
virtually
flat
appearance
complements
the
latest
flat
panel
displays
perfectly.
Its
unique
in-wall
mounting
system
dramatically
improves
the
ease
of
installation
and
contributes
to
dynamic
audio
reproduction.
Thin
flat
panel
televisions
must
use
thin
speakers.
Thin
speakers
fall
short
of
our
standards
for
high
fidelity.
Niles
Cynema
Soundfield
is
the
solution
that
brings
the
aspects
people
appreciate
most
about
flat
panel
TVs,
unobtrusive
appearance
and
high
performance,
to
the
world
of
installed
audio
products.

all
powered
models
(CSF48A,

and
CSF65A)
to
connect
the
amplifier
module
to
the
three

The
passive

(CSF48P)
requires
a
two-conductor
wire
of
sufficient
gauge
for
each
of
the
three
speaker
modules.
The
actual
gauge
required
depends
on
the
length
of
the

use
special
jacketed
cable
(CL

to
protect
the

and
to
provide
fire
prevention.
In
some
municipalities,
conduit
is
required.
For
a

installation,
low

such
as
loudspeaker
wire
must
be
in
accordance
with
the
National
Electrical
Code
and

provisions
of
the
local

code.
If
you
are

or
type
of
conduit
to
use,
consult
a
professional

building
contractor,
or

IMPORTANT
INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATION
FOR
48"
AND
55"
MODELS:
When
installing
the
48"
model
the
TV's
center
must
be
at
least
3
3/4"
to
the
right
or
left
of
the
wall
stud
center.
When
installing
the
55"
model
the
TV's
center
must
be
at
least
1
/4"
to
the
right
or
left
of
the
wall
stud.
This
allows
for
proper
installation
of
all
three
speaker
modules
into
the
In-Wall
Mounting
System.
(See
Figure

The

MOUNTING
SYSTEM
The
Cynema
Soundfield
In-Wall
Mounting
System
includes
two
rails
that
are
connected
together
using
up
to
four
Screw
Down
Slide
Brackets
as
shown
in
Figure
2
on
page
11.
There
will
be
installations
where
the
right
and
left
end
of
the
rails
do
not
fall
directly
on
a
stud.
Two
Clamp
Down
End
Brackets
are
included
to
secure
rail
ends
that
fall
3
or
more
inches
from
the
nearest
Screw
Down
Sliding
Bracket
by
clamping
the
drywall
as
shown
in
Figure
2
on
page
11.
SPECIAL
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
In
some
installations
the
ends
of
the top
and
bottom
rails
will
fall
too
close
to
the
side
of
a
stud
to
provide
the
Clamp
Down
End
Bracket
with
enough
drywall
for
clamping
and,
at
the
same
time,
not
fall
close
enough
to
the
stud
to
use
the
Screw
Down
Sliding
Bracket
(Figure
5,
A.).
When
this
occurs,
attach
a
wood
furring
strip
flush
on
the
side
of
that
stud
(Figure
5,
B.)
and
use
the
Screw
Down
Slide
Brackets
screwed
into
these
furring
strips
to
secure
the
ends
of
the
rails
(Figure
5,
C.).

All
Powered
Cynema
Soundfield
models
(CSF48A,
CSF55A
and

include
one
In-Wall
Power
Supply
Box.
The
In-Wall
Power
Supply
Box
incorporates
the
Amplifier
Module
power
supply
in
a
flush
mounted
electrical
box.
It
includes
a
removable
AC
power
cord
on
the
front
face
plate,
outside
the
wall,
that
plugs
into
a
standard
AC
wall
outlet.
A
24V
DC
cable
on
the
rear
side,
inside
the
wall,
connects
to
the
Amplifier
Module
that
installs
in
the
In-Wall

IMPORTANT
INSTALLTION
NOTE:
Because
the
24V
DC
cable
provided
is
limited
in
length
and
cannot
be
spliced
or
extended,
you
must
locate
the
In-Wall

Supply
Box
as
close
as
possible
to
the
Amplifier
Module.
In
some
municipalities,
conduit
is
required.
For
a
trouble-free
installation,
low
voltage
wire
must
be
in
accordance
with
the
National
Electrical
Code
and
any
applicable
provisions
of
the
local
building
code.
If
you
ore
unsure
of
the
correct
installation
techniques,
wire
jacket,
or
type
of
conduit
to
use,
consult
a
professional
audio/video
installer,
building
contractor,
or
the
local
building

INSTALLING THE SYSTEM CONTINUED...
INSTALL THE IN-WALL POWER SUPPLY BOX (POWERED MODELS ONLY)
1. Choose a location to install the In-Wall Mount Power Supply that is
either behind or below the TV and adjacent to an existing AC outlet
(page 14 Figure 6), Perform the steps listed on page 15 at the proposed
power supply location. Use the supplied In-Wall Power Supply Box
cutout template to mark the wall for cutting if there are no
obstructions found.
Power Supply Cutout
Dimensions (HxW):
3-11 /16" X 8-3/8"
9.4cm x 21.3cm
2. Route the 24V AC power wire on the rear of the power supply into this wall cutout and then out of the wall
at the speaker cutout location.
3. Fold in each of the four mounting clamps and insert the Power Supply Box into the wall cutout. Tighten each
of the four wall clamp screws inside the front edge of the power supply box to secure it in the wall.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
4. Screw the supplied finish faceplate on to the In-Wall Power Supply Box.
Important: Do not plug in the AC power cord until all other system connections are complete.
ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL THE IN-WALL MOUNTING SYSTEM (ALL MODELS)
1. Determine the number of Screw Down Slide Brackets needed for In-Wall Mounting System by counting the
number of wall studs that are exposed within the drywall cutout.
2. Slide the Screw Down Slide Brackets onto the Top and Bottom Rails as shown in Figure 7 and position them
to align with the exposed wall studs within the drywall cutout.
3. Insert a Clamp Down End Bracket, as shown in Figure 7, on the ends of the Mounting Rails that fall more
than 3" from a Screw Down Slide Bracket. See page 13 Figure 5 when the left or the right end of the
Mounting Rail falls too close to the side of a wall stud to provide the Clamp Down End Bracket with enough
drywall for clamping.
4. Align with and place the assembled In-Wall Mounting
System into the wall cutout and loosely screw the
Screw Down Slide Brackets to the wall studs with the
screws provided. Final tightening of these screws will
occur later in the installation procedure.

Small "L" shaped brackets mounted on the sides of the Amplifier Module (identical to the "L'' brackets on
the Speaker Modules) are an installation aid that allows you to "hang" the Amplifier Module on the In-Wall
Mounting System making all connection terminals easy to see and connect. Working within the wall stud
placement and the Speaker Module positions, place the Amplifier Module in a position that first works best
with the optimal positioning of the Speaker Modules.
Note: For installation in walls with vapor barriers and/or insulation, it is recommended to provide a minimum of 1" (25 mm)
clearance between the vapor barrier/insulation and the housing of the amplifier.
1. Rotate the left and right "L" brackets out to serve as hangers from the In-Wall Mounting System. Hang the
Amplifier Module in the position it will be inserted as shown in Figure 9.
2. Affix the Niles SWT to the backside of the SWT Bracket with the supplied double sided tape
