Niles Brings The Party To The Backyard With High Quality Garden Speakers For Any Location

 Summer is here, and for a lot of homeowners the backyard is now their prime entertaining and living space. After they set up the tables, umbrellas, chairs, hammocks and grill, a lot of people realize something is missing. Music! Luckily, where clumsy battery-powered boomboxes once reigned supreme, permanent high performance outdoor speakers like the Niles® GS Garden Speakers are staking new ground and delivering superior quality and volume that ensures a summer of backyard fun, no weekly setup required!

Constructed with UV-stabilized ABS plastic, the same material used to build whitewater canoes and golf club heads, the Niles GS4 Loudspeaker looks just like a garden light and ensures years of trouble-free performance that can withstand just about any weather and climate that mother nature can throw at it.

One thing that is absolutely necessary for outdoor audio is that it can reach far and wide, and not just directly in front of the speakers. That’s why these Niles speakers are specifically designed with wide dispersion characteristics, which create an indoor quality audio experience that sounds just as good playing classical overtures as they do pounding out heavy metal. Any homeowners with an AV receiver can simply run speaker wires to the Niles GS4 speakers, place them wherever they want, and start enjoying incredible audio outdoors!

The engineers at Niles left no stone unturned when developing these speakers, and designed a 4” mineral-filled polypropylene woofer that delivers long-lasting performance with rich, deep sound, and a 1” Teteron® tweeter with ultra-wide dispersion to maximize the sound quality in outdoor environments. With the included UV-resistant cables and waterproof wire-nuts, owners can enjoy long-lasting, trouble free, reliable connections. Plus, with the pre-installed wall-mount brackets and Niles’ Twist & Lock® connection, the speaker can easily be mounted on a wall or stake-mounted anywhere in the yard!

To drive home the power of every drum hit and bass line, the Niles GSS10 10” In-Ground Subwoofer pumps out up to 110 dB of theater quality bass. And it does this without taking up a big footprint in the yard, thanks to its ingenious design that allows the sub to be planted in the ground, with only a mushroom-like port tube sticking out of the surface. Constructed from industrial strength PVC, the GSS10 will provide years of listening pleasure when installed properly.

With a recommended burial depth of just 16”-18” and dimensions of 14” x 30”, installation is simple and the subwoofer can be placed just about anywhere. All GS Garden Speakers are backed by Niles’ Limited Lifetime Warranty. For more information on Niles’ GS Garden Speakers, please visit http://www.nilesaudio.com.

Luxury Yacht Builder Sets Sail With The Niles ICS System!


SanJuanYachts to install Niles ICS System in every new 48-foot SanJuan48 yacht and the company’s new show boat, and make the system available to every client on every yacht model they build.

The Anacortes, Washington-based luxury yacht builder, SanJuanYachts, has a simple vision — redefine what a motor yacht can be from bow to stern. They focus on one yacht, one customer at a time, and they believe that every yacht should be a work of art. This philosophy drives everything they do. It’s who they are. It is why for instance, every material, system, machine and fixture encountered from bow to stern is chosen for its singular performance and beauty — and it is why they have now decided to install the Niles® Intellicontrol® ICS System in every new 48-foot SanJuan48 yacht they build!

“We strive to build the exact yacht that each customer desires, so when a customer came to us and requested we put in the Niles ICS System, we happily obliged,” said co-founder Donald Campbell. “He had used the system in his home and really loved it, so he wanted that same experience in his new SanJuan48. Our team installed the system for the first time with incredible ease, and we soon understood what the owner loved about the system. In fact, we’re so confident in the ICS System that we are installing in our new company show boat. I don’t know any other yacht builders that are using this amazing audio system, but I’m sure they’ll all be rushing to offer it once they see it on display in our show boat.”

“The clean, professional design and appearance of the Niles ICS System and the Contact interfaces are things that we noticed right away. Our installers were able to quickly and easily install and set up the system, and then learn how to use it within minutes. Our previous system used high-end car audio decks in each room and therefore didn’t have centralized control or look as clean as the Niles system. We are going to use this system from now on in every new SanJuan48 we build. The ability to simply integrate streaming music services like Pandora, Rhapsody and Sirius|XM goes above and beyond our previous system and is definitely a feature that new buyers want.”

The Niles ICS System on this SanJuan48 has five zones of audio, each with a stereo pair of speakers. Music and audio sources include am/fm radio, Sirius|XM Satellite Radio, iTunes through an Apple Airport Express, and audio from two 20” and one 26” Samsung LCD LED TVs, each connected to an Apple TV media device. The system is controlled through three Niles Contact touch screen interfaces and two Niles Single in-wall control panel. Internet is provided through a 4G Mobile Hotspot. The system’s layout will be used as a template for future 48-foot yachts.

With a simple, intuitive user interface that is displayed on Niles in-wall Contact panels, accessing an incredible range of music sources has never been easier. With the Niles ICS System, users can connect to their iTunes libraries, digital music files, Pandora Internet radio, Rhapsody, Sirius|XM Radio, and all traditional audio sources including CD players, DVD and Blu-ray players, iPods, am/fm radio and their computers or tablet devices. The Niles Multi-Zone GXR2 Amplifier makes it easy to access the whole home (or yacht) from one interface, giving users complete control over their entire audio experience, from home theaters to outdoor music.

What’s more, by integrating an ELAN Home Controller into the Niles ICS System, it can be controlled by iPhones and iPads through the ELAN g! Entertainment and Control System. SanJuanYachts plans to offer this popular and familiar control interface with every ICS System they install.

Niles' News CM Ceiling Mount Loudspeaker Offer High Design and Superior Sound For Any Application

Niles®, The First Name In Custom Installation®, introduces a new line of cost-effective ceiling mount loudspeakers featuring the same unique combination of design aesthetics, advanced technology and installation versatility found in Niles’ highly-popular third generation DS Directed Soundfield Ceiling-Mount Loudspeakers. The new CM Architectural Loudspeakers deliver Niles’ legendary high performance sound quality and blend discreetly into any environment thanks to the paintable, low-profile, magnetically-attached grilles.

“When Niles introduced the third generation of its DS Directed Soundfield Loudspeakers in 2010, we ingeniously presented a loudspeaker line that addressed the challenges professional installers face every day,” said Mike ‘Sparky’ Detmer, president of Niles Audio. “The introduction of our new CM Architectural Loudspeakers completes our ceiling mount lineup by providing installers a vast assortment of application-specific loudspeakers that fit into the same-sized cutout making them perfect for projects of any scale and any budget. Installers can specify and install systems using any combination of our new CM and DS loudspeakers thanks to the similarities in size and performance found in each series.”

The new CM Architectural Loudspeakers thin-bezel and ultra-low profile provide a crisp, clean finish, and the magnetically-attached grilles greatly reduce installation time. The series includes round grilles standard and square grilles are available. The grilles can be painted to coordinate with any surrounding décor for added installation flexibility. The grilles are rust-resistant, eliminating service calls for loudspeakers installed in moisture-prone areas such as saunas, bathrooms and even outdoors under eaves.

Niles’ patent-pending spring-loaded mounting clamps compensate for a number of environmental conditions that would cause the mounting surface for the new CM series to expand or contract, such as high heat and humidity. The mounting clamps help to prevent material compression and stripping of screws by providing tactile feedback during the installation process to indicate when the installer should stop drilling.

All speakers in the line feature the same premium components found in Niles’ DS Directed Soundfield series including copper caps, high-level crossovers and Kapton voice coil formers to deliver the exceptional sonic performance expected from Niles loudspeakers. Additionally, the loudspeakers have been voiced specifically to handle dynamic content from Blu-ray discs as well as compressed music from sources such as iPods, Pandora and Rhapsody to ensure the best in audiophile performance from virtually any source.
