Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

Talc-Filled Polypropylene Woofer with Treated Foam Rubber Surround and Custom Debris Screens

The Niles MP Multipurpose series of loud- speakers employ a woofer made of vacuum formed polypropylene with talc added for stiffening. The resulting cone offers high efficiency which offers an easy load to amplifiers. Custom debris screens prevent insulation from coming in contact with the woofer.

3/4" Kaladex® Tweeter housed in a Precision Adjustment Mechanism

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 is housed in a preci- sion adjustment mechanism which per- mits the tweeter to be accurately posi- tioned after installation for optimum per- formance without the diffraction distortion endemic to other speaker brands utilizing traditional pivoting tweeters.

Antiresonant Wave Bracing

The MP speaker’s baffle design employs specially molded ribs that increase the rigidity of the baffle and raise the resonant frequency so that less “out-of-phase” can- cellation takes place. Equally important, the ribs are curved and crossed to further shift vibration modes away from low-bass canceling frequencies. This keeps bass tones rich and dynamic.

Snap-in Baffle Assembly

This proprietary Niles design enables installers to attach Niles loudspeaker assemblies to installed frames without addi- tional hardware or tools. Niles' Snap-in design makes it easy to upgrade Niles' speakers after installation without the has- sles associated with removal and re-instal- lation of traditional designs. Snap-in baffles make installation of Niles speakers baffles easier and faster than other in-wall brands.

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.
