Niles Audio AT5 Speaker User Manual


 
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.
BumpBackWoofer Magnet
Niles engineers have utilized a unique
motor construction enabling far greater
throw or voice coil excursion. This
allows a high level of bass performance to
be achieved.
Moisture Resistant Construction
The AT loudspeakers are suitable for use
in high moisture environments. The dri-
vers are impervious to moisture; the grille
is made of powder-coated aluminum, and
all exposed hardware is made of stainless
steel. However, the speakers are not
waterproof and direct contact with water
should be avoided.
Absolutely Flush to the Wall
Appearance
The unique mounting system of the AT
loudspeakers powerfully clamps the frame
to the bracket, sandwiching the wall mate-
rial 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 pre-
vent it from resonating. You hear only the
music, not the drywall.
Easy Retrofit Installation in your
Existing Home
Designed for ease of installation, the Niles
mounting system makes retrofit installa-
tions 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.
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 surroundings.
Only when construction is completely fin-
ished do you put the valuable
speaker in
the wall. You dont have to mask or prep
the speaker for painting, and worries about
theft during the final phases of construction
are never an issue!
Low Diffraction, MicroPerf
Aluminum Grilles
AT speakers include 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.
