MatrixReinforced Baffle, Eight Ohm Impedance

Features and Benefits

X-Matrix™Reinforced Baffle

The X-Matrix baffle design uses specially molded ribs to add rigidity to the baffle assembly. The end result is better bass and improved midrange detail.

Weather Resistant Construction

The AT8000 and AT8200 loudspeakers fea- ture drivers which are impervious to mois- ture; the grille (sold separately as part of the AT8000 Series Frame and Grille kit) is made of aluminum, and all exposed hard- ware is constructed of stainless steel.

Absolutely Flush to the Wall

Appearance

The unique mounting system of the AT loudspeakers powerfully clamps the frame to the bracket, sandwiching the wall mate- rial between them. Because the clamping action is totally uniform around the frame, there are no shadows or gaps between the wall and the frame. Additionally, the Niles mounting system is carefully optimized to stiffen the surrounding drywall and prevent it from resonating. You hear only the music, not the drywall.

Easy Retrofit Installation in your Existing Home

Designed for ease of installation, the Niles mounting system makes retrofit installa- tions simple and fast. A supplied template assures fast and accurate hole cutting. The bracket slips behind the drywall and the screws secure the bracket to the frame, sandwiching the drywall between them. The speaker baffle attaches to the frame, and the grille mounts over the speaker.

Three Stage Installation System for Remodels or New Construction

You install only the parts you need for a particular stage of construction. When the framing and wiring are finished, you install the bracket. After the drywall is up, but before the painter begins to paint, you install the frame and provide the painter with the aluminum grilles so that they can be painted to match the surroundings. Only when construction is completely fin- ished do you put the valuable speaker in the wall. You don’t have to mask or prep the speaker for painting, and worries about theft during the final phases of construction are never an issue!

Eight Ohm Impedance

The AT8000 and AT8200 speakers are designed to be compatible with most amplifiers. Their eight ohm impedance is an easy electrical load for most amplifiers to drive.

Low Diffraction, Paintable

Aluminum Grilles

AT speakers are available with aluminum grilles. The powder-coated aluminum grille has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an acoustically transparent grille.

Infrared Sensor Mount

The speaker baffle has a locator designed for the Niles MS-1 MicroSensor,™ a miniature infrared sensor. The MS-1 installs discretely behind the aluminum grille and therefore minimizes wall clutter in your home. When you want to control your equipment, you simply point your remote control at the speaker from up to 15 feet away.
