Niles Audio CM7SD Painting The Grilles, Installing The Grilles, Applications, Specifications

PAINTING THE GRILLES

The CM loudspeaker grilles can be painted without priming, but the fabric scrim must first be removed. The installation template has die cut standoffs that can be used to position the grille off the ground while painting. Use several light coats sprayed from different sides and angles to cover all surfaces and not fill in any holes. If you do fill some holes, use compressed air to open them before the paint dries. It may be helpful to slightly dilute the paint to prevent it from clogging the grille holes.

INSTALLING THE GRILLES

The Niles MicroThin™ speaker grille installs magnetically over the speaker. Carefully center the grill over the speaker and let the magnets do their work, verifying that the grill sets flush against the ceiling at all edges.

APPLICATIONS

The Niles CM7SD Loudspeakers are designed to be installed in any standard ceiling. When choosing a location, thought should be given to the sound coverage of the loudspeaker, and ease of running the speaker wire. The shallow mounting depth of the CM7SD allows it to be mounted in a space that is only 2.75” deep.

Stereo Sound Applications

The best stereo effect will be achieved if both
loudspeakers are at an equal distance from the
listening area. Ideally all loudspeakers should
be on the same horizontal plane (Figure 6). Avoid	8'
installing loudspeakers near corners to prevent	3-6'
a “boomy” or diffracted sound. Also note that
	8'
the lower the ceiling, the closer the loudspeaker
should be placed to the listener.
