Features and Benefits
Talc-Filled Polypropylene Woofer with
Butyl Rubber Surround and Custom
Debris Screens
The Niles PR Performance series loud-
speakers employ a high performance
woofer made of vacuum formed
polypropylene with talc added for stiffen-
ing. The resulting cone offers low mass,
good damping and superb musicality.
Additionally, the woofer employs a Butyl
Rubber Surround for improved midrange
clarity as well as moisture resistance.
Custom debris screens prevent insulation
from coming in contact with the woofer.
3/4" Kaladex
®
Tweeter housed in a
Precision Adjustment Mechanism
The PR Performance 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 permits
the tweeter to be accurately positioned after
installation for optimum performance with-
out the diffraction distortion endemic to
other speaker brands utilizing traditional
pivoting tweeters.
Antiresonant Wave Bracing
The PR speakers 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,
the ribs are curved and crossed to further
shift vibration modes away from low-bass
canceling frequencies. This keeps bass
tones rich and dynamic.
Front-Mounted Bass & Treble Controls
Niles Performance speaker models
feature baffle-mounted tone controls for
Bass and Treble that enable instant fine
tuning after the speakers are installed. This
feature helps to lessen the effects of less
than perfect placement or other room
acoustics anomalies.
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 speaker baffles
easier and faster than other in-wall brands.
