NEW NILES WALL MOUNT LOUDSPEAKERS PROVIDE HIGH DEFINITION SOUND FOR FLAT PANEL DISPLAYS
 PHD Plasma High Definition models boast sophisticated design, spectacular sound and appropriate aspect ratios to complement virtually any flat panel display.

MIAMI, FLORIDA, AUGUST 19, 2004 – Niles Audio Corporation today announced the introduction of three new models of wall mount loudspeakers. PHD Plasma High Definition loudspeakers are specifically designed to accompany plasma and flat panel displays. All three models can be installed as main, center, or surround channel loudspeakers in home theater configurations or as left and right channels for traditional television viewing. They mount quickly and securely to walls via integrated bracket assemblies. Additionally, optional stands accommodate floor standing and tabletop applications.

“It’s only natural for high definition television viewing to be accompanied by high definition sound solutions,” said Frank K. Sterns, Niles executive vice president. “PHD Plasma High Definition loudspeakers will reproduce music and movie soundtracks with the utmost authority,” added Sterns.

Niles new PHD Plasma High Definition models are available in three sizes. All feature a patent-pending Cone Forward™ driver design that positions the woofer cones to the front of the baffle, which allows sound to radiate freely into the room. Value steps between models are dictated by cabinet size and driver configuration with the top two models featuring an adjustable dispersion-controlling pod that enables more precise imaging and sound staging and can be rotated to accommodate vertical or horizontal placement. The model numbers are organized to identify the flat panel applications where the PHD30 is ideal for flat panel displays of 30-inches or greater. Likewise, the PHD42 matches flat panel displays that are 42-inches or greater and the PHD60 is for flat panel displays that are 60-inches or greater.
