INTRODUCTION
CONTINUED OTHER SIDE
Eight Ohm Impedance
The MP Multipurpose speakers
are designed to be placed in
multi-room systems with many
pairs of speakers. The eight ohm
impedance is a very easy electri-
cal load for most amplifiers. This
allows many pairs of MP speakers
to be wired to a single amplifier
using a Niles speaker selection
system.
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 alu-
minum grille and therefore mini-
mizes wall clutter 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.
Polypropylene Woofer
The unusually stiff and light
polypropylene cone is optimized
for the fastest, most accurate
response. Additionally, the use of
proprietary materials and con-
struction methods guarantees a
long and reliable lifespan.
Absolutely Flush to the
Wall Appearance
The unique mounting system of
the MP 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 gaps between the
wall and the frame. Additionally,
the Niles mounting system is
carefully optimized to stiffen the
surrounding drywall and prevent
it from resonating. You hear only
the music, not the drywall.
Dome Tweeter
The 3/4” polycarbonate dome
tweeter offers ultra-wide disper-
sion characteristics, giving you
unusual latitude for speaker
placement. The smooth, extended
frequency response of this unique
tweeter assures great stereo imag-
ing and remarkable clarity.

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 fin-
ished 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, sandwich-
ing the drywall between them. The speaker
baffle attaches to the frame, and the grille
mounts over the speaker.
Instant Upgrades and Downgrades
Without New Holes in the Wall
Because all 525 speakers fit into 525 frames
and grilles (likewise with the 650 & 800),
you can quickly change speakers by
removing the grille, undoing the mounting
screws, and replacing just the speaker.
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.
BumpBack™Woofer Magnet
Niles engineers have utilized a unique mag-
net construction allowing far greater “throw”
or voice coil excursion. This allows a new
level of deep bass performance to be
achieved.
Acoustic Fine Tuning
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.
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.
Low Diffraction, Paintable
Aluminum or Cloth Grilles
MP speakers are available with rustproof
aluminum or cloth grilles. The painted
aluminum grille has hundreds of precisely
sized perforations, creating an acoustical-
ly transparent grille. The cloth grille is
covered with a color coordinated acousti-
cally transparent cloth.
