Features and Benefits
The MP Multipurpose group of ceiling
mount loudspeakers offers speakers
designed for utility and flexibility. These
are quality "general purpose" speakers.
They function well as primary speakers in
bedrooms, dens or living rooms; as main
or surround speakers in home theaters; or
in large arrays in commercial applica-
tions. Their superb value makes them
perfect for a wide variety of applications.
Introduction
Features and Benefits
High Output, Talc-Filled
Polypropylene Woofer
The talc-filled polypropylene woofer uti-
lized in the MP Multipurpose series is
optimized for low distortion and efficien-
cy. The talc-filling adds stiffness to the
cone without adding weight. This allows
the speaker to deliver high output levels
with low distortion when using as little as
five watts of power.
3/4" Fluid-Cooled Ultra-Wide
Dispersion Kaladex
®
Tweeter in
Custom Pivoting Coaxial Enclosure
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 can pivot up to 20°
within its mount. This allows for perfect
alignment of the high frequencies and opti-
mum performance without the diffraction
distortion endemic to other speaker brands
utilizing traditional pivoting tweeters.
Moisture, UV Resistant Construction
The MP Multipurpose series loudspeakers
are suitable for use in high moisture envi-
ronments. The drivers are resistant to mois-
ture and UV exposure; the grille is made of
powder-coated aluminum. However, the
speakers are not waterproof and direct
contact with water should be avoided.
Engineered for Ceiling Placement
The MP Multipurpose series speakers have
been specifically designed and tuned for
optimum performance when mounted in a
ceiling. The custom designed low diffrac-
tion tweeter housing is mounted coaxially
to avoid the “venetian blind” effect com-
mon with ceiling speakers that employ
sub-baffles as tweeter mounts. The 20°
tweeter pivot angle ensures optimum
high-frequency coverage.
MicroPerf
™
Grilles
The MP Multipurpose series speakers
employ Niles exclusive MicroPerf grille
construction. The exceptionally tight hole
pattern provides acoustic transparency at
all audio frequencies and enables the
speaker elements to remain invisible.
MicroPerf grilles can also be painted to
blend seamlessly with the surrounding
decor.
