About the Niles CM730DS
Outfit your music or home theater system with Niles CM730DS in-ceiling speakers, and you'll get the best of both worlds: crisp, detailed sound and a discreet, décor-friendly setup. The woofer and the tweeter each pivot independently up to 20°, so you can aim them toward your favorite listening spot you'll get sound that's more focused and direct than that of a traditional down-firing in-ceiling speaker.
The included paintable grille lies flush with your ceiling for a clean installation. A handy "twist and lock" mounting mechanism lets you easily slip the speaker in and out of its frame. Leave the frame and grille in place to be painted during your room's finishing process, but take out the speaker to keep it free from sawdust and other debris.

Features
Directed Soundfield: Niles' patented Directed Soundfield in-ceiling home theater speakers feature woofers and tweeters that can be pivoted up to 20° in any direction after installation to direct the sound into the listening area where it will sound best.
Drivers: The CM730DS speakers employ a 7" injection-molded polypropylene woofer that is light and strong, and provides excellent bass response. The butyl rubber surround damps resonance and provides exceptional durability. The 1" fluid-cooled UltraSilkT soft dome tweeters deliver exceptional clarity in the high frequencies.
Grilles: The speakers are equipped with flush-mount MicroPerf aluminum grilles for a clean and unobtrusive look. The grilles have hundreds of precisely-sized perforations to make them acoustically transparent. The grilles is also paintable to match any decor.
Weather Resistant: The CM730DS is weather resistant to enable installation in moist environments, such as bathrooms or indoor pool areas, or outdoors under eaves. The aluminum MicroPerf grilles and front baffle can withstand moisture, but the back of the speaker should be protected. The speakers should not be installed in an area that is totally exposed to the weather.
Controls
Acoustic Controls: The speakers offer a three-position Tweeter Level Control (-3dB, 0, +3dB). This control provides precise matching to your room acoustics.
Mounting Options
Twist and Lock: The Niles Twist and Lock baffle and frame mechanism makes installation quick and easy. Once the speakers are in place, four mounting "dogs" can be tightened to the back side of the drywall with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
New Construction Bracket: For new construction, the CM700DS bracket is recommended (item # 190700DSBK). The bracket is designed to be a "hole-saver" to indicate where the speaker should be installed before the drywall goes up.
