The inverted butyl surrounds, the BumpBackTM magnets and the rigid steel basket are all optimized for large excursions of the cone. In this way, each of the HD speakers deliver exceptionally deep and detailed bass at realistic sound pressure levels, without the mechanically induced limiting and distortion of typical designs. uniquely suitable for use outdoors or in moist environments. Acoustic Fine Tuning ElastoDynamicTM Hybrid Dome Tweeter Constructed from a composite matrix of elastomers and natural fiber substrates, the ElastoDynamicTM tweeter offers extended high frequency response without any harsh ringing or overshoot. Additionally, the elastomers offer the added benefit of weather resistance, making it An installer set "NORMAL/PRESENCE" control located behind the speaker baffle allows the speaker to be tuned to your particular room acoustics. You can adapt the sound for a room with lots of furniture, heavy drapes and wall to wall carpeting.

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 acoustically transparent cloth. Absolutely Flush to the Wall Appearance The unique mounting system of the HD loudspeakers powerfully 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 Infrared Sensor Mount The speaker baffle has a locator designed for the Niles MS-1 MicroSensor,TM a miniature infrared sensor. The MS-1 installs discreetly behind the aluminum grille and therefore minimizes wall clutter in your home.

The six ohm impedance is a very easy electrical load for most APPLICATION NOTES Model HD-800 Shown Bracket Wire ties on bracket keep wire attached throughout New Construction 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 Mounting Screws surroundings. Only when construction is completely finished do you put the valuable 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 drywall and the screws secure the bracket to the frame, sandwiching the drywall between them. The speaker baffle attaches to the frame, and the grille mounts over the speaker. Wings are scored for easy size trimming Instant Speaker Changes IR Knockout 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 quickly change the speaker by removing the grille, undoing the mounting screws and replacing just the speaker baffles. New Construction Wings instantly snap into the Bracket without screws Frame slips into the bracket The woofer, tweeter, crossover and the connection terminals are mounted to the Speaker Baffle Grille 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.
