Niles Audio quality and know-how are built in
With over 34 years in business, Niles Audio has made a name for themselves helping people enjoy music throughout their homes. That experience and dedication has produced in-ceiling speakers like the CM7BG.
The back story of the "Background" speaker
The CM7BG is part of Niles' "Background" series of in-ceiling speakers. Made to deliver good sound quality at an affordable price, these speakers are a great choice for listening to ambient music and for secondary areas of your home like a guest room.
Bigger woofer for deeper bass
The CM7BG employs a 7" polymer woofer, 1/2" larger than most speakers in its class. The resulting bass response is much fuller as well. Its 1/2" fluid-cooled Kaladex® dome tweeter offers great dispersion so you can hear your music in a wide area. Top it off with the included magnetic snap-on grilel and you're good to go. And with weather-resistant design, this speaker can go most places you'd like it to, indoors or out. Plus, it's covered by Niles' lifetime warranty.

Features
2-Way Driver Design: The CM7BG has a light, but strong 7" polypropylene cone woofer. The integrated woofer/baffle design enhances the low frequency response, and allows you to mount a 7" speaker in locations where many competitor's speakers with the same frame diameter can only use a 6.5" driver. The 0.5" fluid-cooled Kaladex dome tweeter provides wide dispersion of detailed high frequencies.
Applications: The Niles Audio CM7BG Ceiling Mount speaker is designed for background music applications in non-primary listening areas. The CM7BG comes with a magnetically-attached paintable metal grille.
Weather-Resistant: The frame, speaker, and grille are weather-resistant, so you can install the speaker in moist environments, including bathrooms and outdoors under eaves.
Mounting Options: The patent-pending spring tensioned mounting clamps permit quick installation and compensate for uneven mounting surfaces and varied environmental conditions. The Niles CM7HD requires a round, circular cutout in the ceiling (0.5" to 0.625" thick) that measures 8.5" in diameter and 4.375 " in depth. You'll also need approximately 1" of clearance around the cutout behind the ceiling to accommodate the mounting clamps.
Spring-Clip Terminals: The Niles CM7HD is outfitted with a set of spring-clip terminals that will accommodate up to 12AWG speaker wire or pin-connectors. Use 16AWG speaker wire for wire lengths of 80' or less, 14AWG speaker wire for wire lengths of 81'-200', and 12AWG speaker for wire lengths of more than 200'.
MicroThin Grille: The magnetically attached MicroThin grille installs quickly and provides a low-profile look. The MicroThin grille ensures a clean, virtually invisible appearance that blends with the room's aesthetics. It only protrudes 0.25" from the ceiling. The MicroThin grille is white in color, but can be painted to match the color of your ceiling.
