Features and Benefits

No-Strip Speaker Terminal

Niles patented No-Strip terminal enables speakers to be connected without strip- ping the speaker wire. No-Strip terminals eliminate fumbling with wire strippers and input terminals. They are color coded and simply plug into the crossover circuit boards on the back of Niles speakers, resulting in positive in-phase connections every time.

BumpBackWoofer Magnet

Niles engineers have utilized a unique motor construction enabling far greater “throw” or voice coil excursion. This allows a high level of bass performance to be achieved.

Moisture Resistant Construction

The HD loudspeakers are suitable for use in high moisture environments. The dri- vers are impervious to moisture; the grille is made of powder-coated aluminum, and all exposed hardware is made of stainless steel. However, the speakers are not waterproof and direct contact with water should be avoided.

Absolutely Flush to the Wall

Appearance

The unique mounting system of the HD loudspeakers powerfully clamps the frame to the bracket, sandwiching the wall mate- rial between them. Because the clamping action is totally uniform around the frame, there are no shadows or gaps between the wall and the frame. Additionally, the Niles mounting system is carefully optimized to stiffen the surrounding drywall and pre- vent it from resonating. You hear only the music, not the drywall.

Easy Retrofit Installation in your Existing Home

Designed for ease of installation, the Niles mounting system makes retrofit installa-

tions simple and fast. A supplied template assures fast and accurate hole cutting. The bracket slips behind the drywall and the screws secure the bracket to the frame, sandwiching the drywall between them. The speaker baffle attaches to the frame, and the grille mounts over the speaker.

Three Stage Installation System for Remodels or New Construction

You install only the parts you need for a particular stage of construction. When the framing and wiring are finished, you install the bracket. After the drywall is up, but before the painter begins to paint, you install the frame and provide the rustproof aluminum grilles to the painter so that they can be painted to match the surroundings. Only when construction is completely fin- ished do you put the valuable speaker in the wall. You don’t have to mask or prep the speaker for painting, and worries about theft during the final phases of construction are never an issue!

Low Diffraction, MicroPerf

Aluminum Grilles

HD speakers include aluminum grilles. The painted aluminum grille has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an acoustically transparent grille.

Infrared Sensor Mount

The speaker baffle has a locator designed for the Niles MS-1 MicroSensor™, a miniature infrared sensor. The MS-1 installs discreetly behind the aluminum grille and therefore minimizes wall clut- ter in your home. When you want to control your equipment, you simply point your remote control at the speaker from up to 15 feet away.
