Features and Benefits
BumpBack™ Woofer 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 PR loudspeakers are suitable for use in high moisture environments. The driv- ers are impervious to moisture; the grille is made of
Absolutely Flush to the Wall
Appearance
The unique mounting system of the PR 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
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
PR 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 MS110 MicroSensor®, a min- iature infrared sensor. The MS110 installs discreetly behind the aluminum grille and therefore minimizes wall clutter in your home. When you want to control your equipment, you simply point your

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 frame to the bracket, 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
remote control at the speaker from up to 15 feet (5 meters) away.
Recommended Amplifier Power
For satisfactory performance, we recom- mend an amplifier with a power rating of ten to one hundred watts for the PR5; and ten to one hundred
Incorporating a Local Volume Control
In a multiroom system there is one indis- pensible device for true
Plan to wire the system so that each pair of speakers has its own volume control built into the wall (think of a volume con- trol as a dimmer switch for sound).
Niles makes a wide range of high perfor- mance indoor and outdoor volume con- trols. They are available in standard or Decora® style cover plates (just like your light switches and dimmers). Volume con- trols are connected in line with the speak
