Features and Benefits

Talc-Filled Polypropylene Woofer with Butyl Rubber Surround and Custom Debris Screens

The Niles PR Performance series loud- speakers employ a high performance woofer made of vacuum formed poly- propylene with talc added for stiffen- ing. The resulting cone offers low mass, good damping and superb musicality. Additionally, the woofer employs a Butyl Rubber Surround for improved midrange clarity as well as moisture resistance. Custom debris screens prevent insulation from coming in contact with the woofer.

3/4” Kaladex® Tweeter housed in a Precision Adjustment Mechanism

The PR Performance series Kaladex® Tweeter employs DuPont’s latest mate- rial technology to produce a dome tweet- er with exceptional frequency response and low distortion. Highs are crystal clear and extended without the harshness often associated with polycarbonate designs.

The Kaladex® tweeter is housed in a preci- sion adjustment mechanism which permits the tweeter to be accurately positioned after installation for optimum performance without the diffraction distortion endemic to other speaker brands utilizing traditional pivoting tweeters.

Antiresonant Wave Bracing

The PR speaker’s baffle design employs specially molded ribs that increase the rigidity of the baffle and raise the resonant frequency so that less “out-of-phase” can- cellation takes place. Equally important, the ribs are curved and crossed to further shift vibration modes away from low-bass canceling frequencies. This keeps bass tones rich and dynamic.

Front-Mounted Bass & Treble Controls

Niles Performance speaker models feature baffle-mounted tone controls for Bass and Treble that enable instant fine tuning after the speakers are installed. This feature helps to lessen the effects of less than perfect placement or other room acoustics anomalies.

Snap-in Baffle Assembly

This proprietary Niles design enables installers to attach Niles loudspeaker assem- blies to installed frames without additional hardware or tools. Niles’ Snap-in design makes it easy to upgrade Niles speakers after installation without the hassles asso- ciated with removal and re-installation of traditional designs. Snap-in baffles make installation of Niles speaker baffles easier and faster than other in-wall brands.

For those concerned about durability, the Niles Audio PR6 is built with high-quality materials that withstand the test of time. Its weather-resistant features make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, allowing homeowners to enjoy their favorite music in any setting.

Moreover, the speaker's compatibility with a wide range of receivers ensures that it can be easily integrated into existing audio systems. This flexibility makes the PR6 an ideal option for both new installations and upgrades to existing systems.
