Keep reading to learn more about Niles ceiling-mount loudspeakers and their many applications and advantages. 

Niles Ceiling-Mount Loudspeakers are available in four distinct categories: multipurpose, performance, high definition, and advanced technology. Each is designed for a wide range of applications and installation requirements:

Multipurpose

• Blending with light-can fixtures
• Distributed audio
• Entry-level home theaters
• Outdoor patios

Performance

• Blending with light-can fixtures
• Secondary or primary listening rooms
• Home theaters, family rooms, kitchens, bedrooms

High Definition

• Advanced home theaters

• Locations that require great sound

Advanced Technology

• State-of-the-art home theaters
• Locations that require audiophile-quality sound

Niles in-ceiling loudspeakers are divided into two levels, general ceiling-mount loudspeakers and Directed Soundfield™. DS loudspeakers achieve dramatic results despite architectural challenges associated with off-axis listening, including home theater installations, vaulted or cathedral ceilings, and other applications and locations where speaker placement if fixed but the soundfield is not. CM loudspeakers feature an integrated woofer/baffle design that provides a 15% improvement in woofer cone area, resulting in richer, deeper bass. The bridge-mounted tweeter allows for a sealed woofer cap, making the unit weather-resistant.
