Three Stage Installation System

Prevents Theft and Simplifies

Painting

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 rustproof aluminum grilles to the painter so that they can be painted to match the

surroundings. Only when construction is completely finished do you put the valu- able speaker in the wall.

Easy Retrofit Installation

Designed for ease of installation, the Niles mounting system makes retrofit installations simple and fast. A supplied template assures fast and accurate hole cutting. The bracket slips behind the dry- wall and the screws secure the bracket to the frame, sandwiching the drywall

Instant Speaker Changes

An MP or BG speaker can be substituted for the HD, if the frame size is identical (e.g. HD-525 to BG-525). You can quick- ly change the speaker by removing the grille, undoing the mounting screws and replacing just the speaker baffles.

Hole Saving Bracket

New Construction Wings allow the Bracket to be installed as a “Hole Saver” before the drywall goes up. The drywall contractor cuts the hole in the drywall as it is installed, reducing the chances of misplaced wire.
