TOOLS REQUIRED

INSTALLATIONPROCEDURE

•Keyhole saw

•#2 Philips screwdriver or screwdriver bit

•Pencil

1.Locate the hole template and remove the inside portion of it. Save this part—it may be used as a paint mask. Use the inside of the template to trace the outlines at the desired location on the ceiling or wall. With a keyhole saw, cut along the penciled lines.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT THROUGH ANY EXISTING WIRING.

2.Attach the speaker wires to the speaker. Be sure that proper phasing is observed.

3.On all models, there are four clamps which hold each speaker in place. The clamps are tightened via four front-baffle screws. To install the speaker, first rotate the clamps inward. Insert the speaker into the cutout and tighten the clamps by turn- ing the screws clockwise. DO NOT

OVER TIGHTEN THESE SCREWS. Over- tightening the clamps may make the grill difficult to install. Refer to Figure 1.

NOTE: The screws will be easier to turn if you “prime” them first. Before installing each speaker, turn the screws in and then turn them back out to their original positions.

4.Install the grill into the speaker. The grills for Models 75 and 76 fit tightly. This is to prevent each grill from becoming loose over time. Some effort and care is required when installing them. The Model 77 grill snaps into place. Insert the grill into the speaker and press along the outside edge of the plastic collar.

5.Repeat this procedure for the next speaker.

REMOVINGTHEGRILL

To remove the grill from the Model 75 and 76, obtain a small paper clip (size #1, common) and bend the last quarter inch of it into an “L” shape. Holding the paper clip with a pair of pliers, insert the end with the “L” into a hole near the edge of the grill. Stay near one of the corners on

Model 75. Remove the grill by pulling the paper clip towards you.

For the Model 77, press your fingers against the inside of the black collar. While pressing against the collar, pull it towards you.

PAINTINGTHESPEAKERSANDGRILLS

All models may be painted. The plastic will readily accept most any kind of paint.

The speakers must be masked prior to painting them. The inside portion of the hole template can be used as a paint mask. Remove the outside portion of the template by gently pulling along the per- foration. Affix the mask to the front of the speaker using a piece of tape. Fold the tape onto itself to form a double-sided

loop. Affix the tape to the tweeter and place the mask onto the speaker.

The grills should be painted before they are installed. For all models, the best results will be obtained by using a spray gun or airless sprayer, thinning the paint (prevents clogging of grill holes) and by applying several light coats instead of one heavy one.

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.
