Features and Benefits

Hi-Polymer Woofer

The CS525 and CS650 models feature a unique woofer construction process called Hi-Polymer Bonding that combines a waterproof nylon layer with a traditional pulp-based long throw woofer with a treated foam rubber surround. Both mod- els feature custom perforated baskets to keep construction debris from coming in contact with the woofer cone.

Polycarbonate Dome Tweeter

The 1” polycarbonate tweeter offers sur- prisingly wide dispersion characteristics for great stereo imaging, remarkable clar- ity, and moisture resistance.

X-MatrixReinforced Baffle

The X-Matrix Baffle design uses specially molded ribs constructed of ABS plastic to add rigidity to the baffle assembly. The end result is better clarity and detail.

Absolutely Flush to the Wall Appearance

The unique mounting system of the CS loudspeakers powerfully clamps the speaker to the bracket, sandwiching the wall material between them. Additionally, the Niles mounting system is carefully optimized to stiffen the surrounding dry- wall 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 installations sim- ple and fast. A supplied template assures fast and accurate hole cutting. The bracket slips behind the drywall and the tightening of the screws sandwich the drywall between the bracket and speaker. The grille mounts over the speaker.

Eight Ohm Impedance

The speakers are designed to be placed in multi-room systems with many pairs o speakers. The eight ohm impedance is a very easy electrical load for most ampli- fiers. This allows many pairs of CS speak- ers to be wired to a single amplifier using a Niles speaker selection system.

Low Diffraction, Paintable Aluminum Grilles

CS speakers utilize rustproof aluminum grilles. The painted 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 discreetly behind the aluminum grille and therefore minimizes wall clut- ter 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.
