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 clutter 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.
Polypropylene Woofer
The unusually stiff and light polypropylene cone is optimized for the fastest, most accurate response. Additionally, the use of proprietary materials and construction methods guarantees a long and reliable lifespan.
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 prevent it from resonating. You hear only the music, not the drywall.
Absolutely Flush to the
Wall Appearance
The unique mounting system of the MP loudspeakers powerfully clamps the frame to the bracket, sandwiching the wall material
Dome Tweeter
The 3/4” polycarbonate dome tweeter offers ultra-wide dispersion characteristics, giving you unusual latitude for speaker placement. The smooth, extended frequency response of this unique tweeter assures great stereo imaging and remarkable clarity.

MP-525/MP-650 Multipurpose Loudspeaker Group
BumpBack ™ Woofer Magnet
Niles engineers have utilized a unique magnet construction allowing far greater “throw” or voice coil excursion. This allows a new level of deep bass performance to be achieved.
Acoustic Fine Tuning
An installer set “ NORMAL / PRESENCE ” control located behind the speaker baffle allows the speaker to be tuned to your particular room acoustics. You can adapt the sound for a room with lots of furniture, heavy drapes and wall to wall carpeting.
X-Matrix ™ Reinforced Baffle
The X-Matrix Baffle design uses specially molded ribs to add rigidity to the baffle.The
end result is better bass and improved midrange detail.
Low Diffraction, Paintable
Aluminum or Cloth Grilles
MP speakers are available with rustproof aluminum or cloth grilles. The painted aluminum grille has hundreds of precisely sized perforations, creating an acoustically transparent grille. The cloth grille is covered with a color coordinated acoustically transparent cloth.
Bracket
Wings are scored for easy size trimming
Wire ties on bracket keep wire attached throughout New
Construction
Three Stage Installation System
Prevents Theft and Simplifies
Painting
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 finished do you put the valuable speaker in the wall.
Mounting Screws
IR Knockout
Easy Retrofit Installation
Designed for ease of installation, the Niles mounting system makes retrofit installations 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.
Instant Upgrades and Downgrades
Without New Holes in the Wall
Because all 525 speakers fit into 525 frames and grilles (likewise with the 650 & 800), you can quickly change speakers by removing the grille, undoing the mounting screws, and replacing just the speaker.
Hole Saving Bracket
New Construction Wings allow the Bracket to be installed as a “Hole Saver” before the drywall goes up. The drywall contractor cuts the hole in the drywall as it is installed, reducing the chances of misplaced wire.
New Construction Wings instantly snap into the
Bracket without screws
Frame slips into the bracket
The woofer, tweeter, crossover and the connection terminals are mounted to the Speaker Baffle
Grille is available in either cloth or perforated aluminum
