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.

WALL CUT-OUT FOR RETROFIT

Model 75: 5 3/4” square

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.
