INSTALLING THE WALL-MOUNT BRACKETS

TOOLS AND PARTS

We recommend using the following tools and parts to install the PHD60/42/30 wall-mount brackets:

Electric drill and drill bits

Philips screwdrivers or driver bit set

Stud finder

Eight wood screws with (optional) dry-wall anchors rated for at least 40 pounds

Pencil

Level

Protective eyewear

PRECAUTIONS

Before starting the installation, please observe the following precautions:

Turn off all system power before making any connections.

Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.

Make sure hands are clean before installation.

Wear gloves when working with fiberglass insulation.

INSTALLATION

1.At each proposed site, use a stud finder to locate studs (which should be on 16-inch centers) for possible use in the installation. If the studs do not line up with a desired placement location, the PHD60/42/30 wall-mount bracket can still be mounted on a dry wall with appropriate dry-wall screws and anchors.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE PLASTIC EXPANSION OR THREADED WALL ANCHORS FOR DRY WALL INSTALLATION. CONSULT YOUR LOCAL NILES DEALER OR HOME HARDWARE STORE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR HOME THEATER APPLICATION.

PHD42, PHD30, PHD60 specifications

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. 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. With its combination of state-of-the-art technology, aesthetic design, and user-friendly features, the Niles Audio PHD42 is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home audio system with an in-wall option that delivers both style and substance.
