Connecting the Loudspeaker

FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

1.At each loudspeaker, separate the loudspeaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each loudspeaker wire.

2.On each set of loudspeaker connectors, press down the spring-loaded lever, insert the appropriate conductor, and then release the lever, as shown in Figure 5. Gently tug on the loudspeaker wire to make sure it is held in place. If not, repeat this procedure until it is. Make sure that only the bare wire is clamped in the connector.

NOTE: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY: POSITIVE (+) GOES INTO THE RED TERMINAL AND NEGATIVE (–) GOES INTO THE BLACK TERMINAL. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WIRE POLARITY, SEE THE SECTION CHECKING LOUDSPEAKER PHASE ON PAGE 11.

3.If a mounting bracket was installed on the wall, align each loudspeaker with the two mounting holes (on its bracket) and let it slide down into the keyslot on the bracket to fasten it to the wall, as shown in Figure 6.

This model is part of Niles' commitment to delivering high-quality sound solutions for both residential and commercial environments.

One of the primary features of the PHD42 is its dual 4-inch woofers that enable robust bass response while maintaining clarity in the mid and upper frequencies.

This design allows for a rich, immersive sound experience that is perfect for music, movies, and gaming.

The PHD42 incorporates advanced technologies such as the patented "Invisible Tweeter" design, which utilizes a specially engineered grille that minimizes sonic interference. This ensures that sound quality remains pristine, regardless of the installation setup. Furthermore, the adjustable tweeter allows for customized placement of high frequencies, accommodating different room acoustics and user preferences.

Another significant characteristic of the PHD42 is its paintable grille, enabling seamless integration into any décor.

Installation is made simple with the PHD42’s easy-to-use mounting system, designed for both new construction and retrofitting into existing walls. The speaker's shallow depth means it can fit into tight spaces, while the integrated dog-ear brackets ensure a solid and secure fit.
