Niles StageFront Home Theater Solutions Loudspeaker Line Named Mark of Excellence Award Finalist

Niles’ versatile, custom installation-specific home theater loudspeaker line recognized by Consumer Electronics Association

MIAMI, FLORIDA — February 5, 2008 — Niles Audio Corporation, The First Name in Custom Installation, announced today that the company’s StageFront Home Theater Solutions loudspeaker line has been selected as a 2008 TechHome Mark of Excellence Award finalist in the Best Speaker Systems category. Designed specifically for home theater applications, the line includes both in-wall and cabinet models that are voice-matched to deliver consistent uniform sound quality, regardless of loudspeaker type. This frees custom installers to design systems incorporating some models that are built into cabinets or placed on stands with others that are built into walls, optimizing performance, appearance and design flexibility. This is a feature unique to Niles, as no other brand on the market today offers voice-matched cabinet and in-wall home theater loudspeakers that can be mixed and matched, while maintaining seamless integration and timbre. The Mark of Excellence Awards program, presented by CEA’s TechHome Division, recognizes the best in custom home electronics products, services and installed technology and represents only the most recent among Niles’ numerous industry accolades. Winners will be announced on Friday, March 14th.

“We are pleased and honored that the StageFront Home Theater Solutions line is being considered for this prestigious award,” said Frank Sterns, president of Niles. “Our goal in developing StageFront was to create superior home theater loudspeakers that enable installers to design systems that meet their clients’ specific home theater needs and design challenges, and it is very gratifying that the Mark of Excellence team has recognized this effort and named StageFront a 2008 finalist.”

StageFront In-Wall Loudspeakers include four LCR models and two dedicated Surround Effects loudspeakers. All feature a ported enclosure tuned specifically for maximum sensitivity, dynamics and high-fidelity sound in an in-wall application and all fit within a standard 2″ x 4″ stud-wall depth. A steel bezel permanently affixed to the baffle board enables drivers to be placed as far forward as possible and provides for maximum use of the air volume within the wall. Each loudspeaker is equipped with epoxy-coated flat-steel grilles using a magnetic attachment method and a captured toggle bolt mounting system with metal dogs for easy retrofit installation. StageFront Pro Loudspeakers include four LCR models, two dedicated on-wall Surround Effects models and a high-performance box subwoofer. All feature sealed box construction for accurate extended low frequency response. Enclosures are constructed from 1″ medium density fiberboard and are finished in matte black with sculpted metal grilles. Box dimensions are specifically designed to match rack-mount cabinet width when the loudspeakers are placed vertically or horizontally.

Additional Niles StageFront Features:
– 12-Volt trigger activated bi-pole/di-pole switching
– Pivoting midrange/tweeter pods for optimal sound from a variety of install locations
– Resonance-controlling cabinets for predictably-precise imaging
– Advanced technology drivers with cast baskets, carbon-fiber woofers and fluid-cooled Teteron tweeters ensure a dynamic impact that is on par with the best movie theaters
