Sorry, this product has been discontinued.

Niles CSF55A Cynema™ Soundfield 55"-Wide Powered 100W 3-Channel In-Wall Active Sound Bar

The Niles Audio Cynema Soundfield System is the first in-wall soundbar that installs flush below your wall-mounted flat panel TV. The CSF55a is a powered system that includes a digital amplifier and three self-contained speaker modules (for left, center, and right channels). The amplifier and speaker modules tuck down into the wall cavity between the studs, and can be adjusted along the mounting rails for best separation. The system comes with a flush-mount grille for a seamless look.

Product highlights:
- engaging home theater sound with a space-saving, in-wall design
- uses three sealed, passive loudspeaker modules with two 2" x 3" poly cone woofers and a 1" silk dome tweeter each
- adjustable speaker spacing allows for ideal placement of left, center, and right channel speakers in any existing wall stud configuration — no cutting or drilling of studs required
- digital in-wall amplifier module provides power for all three speaker modules (30 watts RMS x 3)
- separate flush-mounted DC power supply sends low-voltage DC power through wall to amplifier module
- Dolby® signal processing for clear sound
- easily connects to a powered subwoofer with the Niles wireless subwoofer system (SW-T & SW-R sold separately)
- compatible with a whole house distributed audio system (TV sound always takes priority when the TV is turned on)
