Like our other Blueprint Series Loudspeakers, these ceiling mount mod- els offer Niles durability and installation ease and are designed for unobtrusive installations.

Model 75 measures a compact 7 by 7 inches square; Model 76 is a similarly compact round design measuring 7-3/4 inches in diameter. Both feature a weath- er-resistant 5-1/4 inch polypropylene co- axial driver system with a butyl rubber surround and powder coated aluminum grills, making them suitable for bathroom and outdoor patio applications. Both models employ a bracketless mounting system: simply cut a hole in the mount- ing surface and tighten the four clamps

via front-baffle screws. And like other Blueprint Series speakers, the flush, tight- mesh grills can be painted or covered to blend with the surrounding decor.

Model 77 is similar to Model 76 but is designed to masquerade as a recessed lighting fixture. Its recessed black grill is attached to a 6-1/4 inch diameter black collar which fits neatly into the bezel. Model 77 blends in quietly with neigh- boring light fixtures while providing a “floodlight” of sound.

The Models 75, 76 and 77 are designed to work well in any standard ceiling or wall. For the Model 75, the mounting surface must be between 3/8 and 5/8 inch thick. All models will perform well in any air volume greater than .5 cubic feet.

When wall mounting the speakers, the best stereo effect will be achieved if both the speakers are at equal distance from the listener and closer together than the listener is from the speakers. Avoid installing the speakers near corners to prevent a “boomy” or diffracted sound.

75, 76, 77 specifications

Niles Audio is a renowned name in the field of audio equipment, and its line of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, particularly the Niles Audio 77, 76, and 75 models, showcases the brand's commitment to quality sound and innovative technology. These speakers are designed to blend seamlessly into any home decor while delivering exceptional audio performance.

The Niles Audio 77 model is particularly impressive for its full-range performance. It integrates a 7-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter that work together to provide clear highs and robust lows. The speaker is engineered with a 4-ohm impedance, ensuring it can deliver the power needed for deep bass and rich sound across a wide frequency range. The swivel tweeter allows for optimal sound direction, making it easy to customize the listening experience depending on the room's acoustics.

In contrast, the Niles Audio 76 speaker is designed for those who desire a slightly more compact solution without sacrificing sound quality. It features a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter, making it ideal for mid-sized rooms or areas where space is a consideration. Like the 77, the 76 model also provides a good balance of bass and treble, enabling users to enjoy their favorite music and movies with clarity.

The Niles Audio 75 is the smallest of the trio, equipped with a 5.25-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter. This model is particularly appealing for smaller spaces or as part of a multi-room audio setup. It maintains the brand's legendary sound quality, giving listeners a satisfying sound experience without overwhelming the available space.

All three models are built with durable materials and feature a paintable grille, allowing them to match the decor of any room. One of the standout characteristics of the Niles Audio systems is their robust technological foundation. They utilize advanced crossover technology to ensure that high and low frequencies are balanced and clear. Additionally, their easy installation features make integrating them into existing audio systems a hassle-free process.

With their sleek design, impressive sound quality, and innovative technology, the Niles Audio 77, 76, and 75 speakers stand out as excellent options for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
