Features and Benefits

Talc-Filled Polypropylene Woofer with
Treated Foam Rubber Surround and
Custom Debris Screens
The Niles MP Multipurpose series of
speakers employ a woofer made of vacuum
formed polypropylene with talc added for
stiffening. The resulting cone offers high
efficiency which offers an easy load to
amplifiers. Custom debris screens prevent
insulation from coming in contact with the
woofer.
3/4" Kaladex Tweeter housed in a
®
Precision Adjustment Mechanism
The MP Multipurpose series Kaladex
Tweeter employs DuPont's latest material
technology to produce a dome tweeter
with exceptional frequency response and
low distortion. Highs are crystal clear and
extended without the harshness often
associated with polycarbonate designs.
The Kaladex tweeter is housed in a preci-
®
sion adjustment mechanism which per-
mits the tweeter to be accurately posi-
tioned after installation for optimum per-
formance without the diffraction distortion
endemic to other speaker brands utilizing
traditional pivoting tweeters.
or in large arrays in commercial applica-
tions. Their superb value makes them
perfect for a wide variety of applications.
An MP5/MP6 Speaker Kit; and the
corresponding Bracket Kit (5 or 6) is
required to install one pair of
MP5/MP6 in-wall loudspeakers in
either new or existing construction.
Antiresonant Wave Bracing
The MP speaker's baffle design employs
specially molded ribs that increase the
rigidity of the baffle and raise the resonant
frequency so that less "out-of-phase" can-
cellation takes place. Equally important,
loud-
the ribs are curved and crossed to further
shift vibration modes away from low-bass
canceling frequencies. This keeps bass
tones rich and dynamic.
Snap-in Baffle Assembly
This proprietary Niles design enables
installers to attach Niles loudspeaker
assemblies to installed frames without addi-
tional hardware or tools. Niles' Snap-in
design makes it easy to upgrade Niles'
® speakers after installation without the has-
sles associated with removal and re-instal-
lation of traditional designs. Snap-in baffles
make installation of Niles speakers baffles
easier and faster than other in-wall brands.
No-Strip Speaker Terminal
Niles' patented No-Strip terminal enables
speakers to be connected without strip-
ping the speaker wire. No-Strip terminals
eliminate fumbling with wire strippers and
input terminals. They are color coded and
simply plug into the crossover circuit
boards on the back of Niles speakers,
resulting in positive in-phase connections
every time.
