Features and Benefits

PointSourceFull-Range Driver

The PointSource driver of the BG -525 is constructed with a woven fiber cone sup- ported by a treated foam surround. This gives the driver rigidity for fast transients. The frequency response curve of the PointSource driver has been carefully shaped for Background Music reproduc- tion. It has a rich sound much more suit- able for low volume listening than tradi- tional speakers. The single driver configu- ration gives effective coverage over a wide area allowing great latitude in terms of speaker placement.

X-MatrixReinforced 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.

Absolutely Flush to the Wall

Appearance

The unique mounting system of the BG 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 pre- vent 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 frame to the bracket,
