Three Stage Installation System for
Remodels or New Construction

You install only the parts you need for 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 sur-
roundings. Only when construction is
completely finished do you put the valu-
able 

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!

Eight Ohm Impedance

The speakers are designed to be placed in
multi-room systems with many pairs of
speakers. The eight ohm impedance is a
very easy electrical load for most ampli-
fiers. This allows many pairs of BG speak-
ers to be wired to a single amplifier using
a Niles speaker selection system.

Low Diffraction, Paintable Aluminum
Grilles

BG speakers are available with 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 MS-1 MicroSensor,

a

miniature infrared sensor. The MS-1
installs discreetly behind the aluminum
grille and therefore minimizes wall clut-
ter in your home. When you want to
control your equipment, you simply
point your remote control at the speaker
from up to 15 feet away.
