1.Using the enclosed Allen wrench, remove the four (4) Allen-head screws, (see Figure 7).

2.Gently pull the pod away from the enclosure and rotate it 90° in either direction (see Figure 7). Be careful not to disconnect any attached wires during rotation.

3.Place the pod back into the enclosure and reinstall the four (4) Allen-head screws.

This model is part of Niles' commitment to delivering high-quality sound solutions for both residential and commercial environments.

One of the primary features of the PHD42 is its dual 4-inch woofers that enable robust bass response while maintaining clarity in the mid and upper frequencies. Coupled with a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter, the speaker reproduces a wide frequency range, ensuring that every note is delivered accurately. This design allows for a rich, immersive sound experience that is perfect for music, movies, and gaming.

The PHD42 incorporates advanced technologies such as the patented "Invisible Tweeter" design, which utilizes a specially engineered grille that minimizes sonic interference. This ensures that sound quality remains pristine, regardless of the installation setup. Furthermore, the adjustable tweeter allows for customized placement of high frequencies, accommodating different room acoustics and user preferences.

Another significant characteristic of the PHD42 is its paintable grille, enabling seamless integration into any décor. Homeowners can easily match the speakers to their wall colors, making them virtually invisible when not in use, which is particularly appealing for those focused on aesthetics without sacrificing sound quality.

Installation is made simple with the PHD42’s easy-to-use mounting system, designed for both new construction and retrofitting into existing walls. The speaker's shallow depth means it can fit into tight spaces, while the integrated dog-ear brackets ensure a solid and secure fit. The PHD42 is also designed with moisture-resistant components, making it a viable option for bathrooms, kitchens, and even outdoor areas under covered spaces.

The PHD42 is not just a speaker; it’s a complete solution for those looking to enhance their audio experience without dominating their living space.
