Features and Benefits
Hi-Polymer Woofer
The CS525 and CS650 models feature a
unique woofer construction process
called Hi-Polymer Bonding that combines
a waterproof nylon layer with a traditional
pulp-based long throw woofer with a
treated foam rubber surround. Both mod-
els feature custom perforated baskets to
keep construction debris from coming in
contact with the woofer cone.
Polycarbonate Dome Tweeter
The 1” polycarbonate tweeter offers sur-
prisingly wide dispersion characteristics
for great stereo imaging, remarkable clar-
ity, and moisture resistance.
X-MatrixReinforced Baffle
The X-Matrix Baffle design uses specially
molded ribs constructed of ABS plastic to
add rigidity to the baffle assembly. The
end result is better clarity and detail.
Absolutely Flush to the Wall Appearance
The unique mounting system of the CS
loudspeakers powerfully clamps the
speaker to the bracket, sandwiching the
wall material between them. Additionally,
the Niles mounting system is carefully
optimized to stiffen the surrounding dry-
wall and prevent 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 installations sim-
ple and fast. A supplied template assures
fast and accurate hole cutting. The bracket
slips behind the drywall and the tightening
of the screws sandwich the drywall
between the bracket and speaker. The
grille mounts over the speaker.
Eight Ohm Impedance
The speakers are designed to be placed in
multi-room systems with many pairs of
speakers. The eight ohm impedance is a
very easy electrical load for most ampli-
fiers. This allows many pairs of CS speak-
ers to be wired to a single amplifier using
a Niles speaker selection system.
Low Diffraction, Paintable Aluminum
Grilles
CS speakers utilize rustproof 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.
