Weather-Proof
Construction
All of the drivers, the frames
and the baffles are weather-
proof. The aluminum grilles
are rustproof and the mounting
screws are all stainless steel.
Absolutely Flush to the
Wall Appearance
The unique mounting system of
the HD loudspeakers powerful-
ly clamps the frame to the
bracket, sandwiching the wall
material 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 sur-
rounding drywall and prevent it
from resonating. You hear only
the music, not the drywall.
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 clutter in your
home. When you want to con-
trol your equipment, you simply
point your remote control at the
speaker with the MS-1 installed
from up to 15 feet away.
X-Matrix
™
Reinforced
Baffle
The X-Matrix Baffle design uses
specially molded ribs to add
rigidity to the baffle.The end
result is better bass and
improved midrange detail.
Six Ohm Impedance
HD speakers are designed to be
placed in multi-room systems
with many pairs of speakers. The
six ohm impedance is a very
easy electrical load for most
amplifiers. This allows many
pairs of HD speakers to be wired
to a single amplifier using a
Niles speaker selection system.
Low Diffraction, Paintable
Aluminum or Cloth Grilles
HD speakers are available with
aluminum or cloth grilles. The
painted rustproof aluminum
grille has hundreds of precisely
sized perforations, creating an
acoustically transparent grille.
The cloth grille is covered with
a color coordinated acoustical-
ly transparent cloth.

Three Stage Installation System
Prevents Theft and Simplifies
Painting
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
surroundings. Only when construction is
completely finished do you put the valu-
able
speaker in the wall.
Easy Retrofit Installation
Designed for ease of installation, the
Niles mounting system makes retrofit
installations simple and fast. A supplied
template assures fast and accurate hole
cutting. The bracket slips behind the dry-
wall and the screws secure the bracket to
the frame, sandwiching the drywall
between them. The speaker baffle attach-
es to the frame, and the grille mounts
over the speaker.
Instant Speaker Changes
An MP or BG speaker can be substituted
for the HD, if the frame size is identical
(e.g. HD-525 to BG-525). You can quick-
ly change the speaker by removing the
grille, undoing the mounting screws and
replacing just the speaker baffles.
Hole Saving Bracket
New Construction Wings allow the
Bracket to be installed as a “Hole Saver”
before the drywall goes up. The drywall
contractor cuts the hole in the drywall as
it is installed, reducing the chances of
misplaced wire.
