FEATURES AND BENEFITS

THREE MODELS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH PLASMA OR OTHER FLAT-PANEL DISPLAYS

The largest model, the PHD60, is designed for use with plasma or other flat-panel displays of

60-inches or more. The PHD42 complements 42-inch and over displays, while the PHD30 works with 30-inches or larger displays. Except for differences in the transducer complement and performance, all three models feature similar technologies, For example: the PHD60 and 42 feature a 3-way loudspeaker design, while the PHD30 features a 2-way design. All offer voice matching sound quality and exceptional detail over a wide listening area.

5-1/4-INCH TCC WOOFERS WITH CONE-FORWARD™ DESIGN AND BUTYL-RUBBER SUSPENSION

The PHD60/42/30 features newly-developed woofer-cone material that combines injection-molded polypropylene with talc, carbon, and ceramic (TCC) stiffening agents. As a result, the cone offers extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. Our patent-pending Cone Forward™ design positions the woofer cone at the front of the baffle for natural-sounding bass and clear, open midrange response. Additionally, the use of a butyl-rubber suspension offers substantial benefits, including increased movement without mechanical limitations, and improved midrange damping for better detail and clarity.

1-1/2-INCH FLUID-COOLED TETERON HYPERBOLIC-

DOME MIDRANGE DRIVER

The PHD60 and PHD42 also feature a Fluid-Cooled Teteron Hyperbolic-Dome Midrange Driver that provides high sound pressures to reproduce critical mid frequencies with exceptional accuracy.

1-INCH FLUID-COOLED TETERON TRI-LAMINATE TWEETER

The PHD60/42/30’s Fluid-Cooled Teteron Tweeter employs a tri-laminate design consisting of an inner textile layer, which forms the dome, a high damping layer to eliminate unwanted resonances, and an outside layer of urethane to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparently clear, sweet, natural-sounding tweeter, which still maintains extended frequency response.

The Niles Audio PHD42 is an innovative in-wall speaker that stands out for its exceptional performance and versatility, designed to meet the audio needs of both casual listeners and audiophiles alike. 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.
