Features and Benefits

High Output, Talc-Filled

Polypropylene Woofer

The talc-filled polypropylene woofer uti- lized in the MP Multipurpose series is optimized for low distortion and efficien- cy. The talc-filling adds stiffness to the cone without adding weight. This allows the speaker to deliver high output levels with low distortion when using as little as five watts of power.

3/4" Fluid-Cooled Ultra-Wide

Dispersion Kaladex® Tweeter in

Custom Pivoting Coaxial Enclosure

The MP Multipurpose series Kaladex® Tweeter employs DuPont’s latest material technology to produce a dome tweeter with exceptional frequency response and low distortion. Highs are crystal clear and extended without the harshness often associated with polycarbonate designs.

The Kaladex® tweeter can pivot up to 20° within its mount. This allows for perfect alignment of the high frequencies and opti- mum performance without the diffraction distortion endemic to other speaker brands utilizing traditional pivoting tweeters.

Moisture, UV Resistant Construction

The MP Multipurpose series loudspeakers are suitable for use in high moisture envi- ronments. The drivers are resistant to mois- ture and UV exposure; the grille is made of powder-coated aluminum. However, the speakers are not waterproof and direct contact with water should be avoided.

Engineered for Ceiling Placement

The MP Multipurpose series speakers have been specifically designed and tuned for optimum performance when mounted in a ceiling. The custom designed low diffrac- tion tweeter housing is mounted coaxially to avoid the “venetian blind” effect com- mon with ceiling speakers that employ sub-baffles as tweeter mounts. The 20° tweeter pivot angle ensures optimum high-frequency coverage.

MicroPerf™ Grilles

The MP Multipurpose series speakers employ Niles exclusive MicroPerf grille construction. The exceptionally tight hole pattern provides acoustic transparency at all audio frequencies and enables the speaker elements to remain invisible. MicroPerf grilles can also be painted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding decor.
