FEATURES AND BENEFITS
THREE MODELS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH PLASMA OR OTHER FLAT-PANEL DISPLAYS
The largest model, the PHD60, is designed for use with plasma or other flat-panel displays of 60-inches or more. The PHD42 complements 42-inch and over displays, while the PHD30 works with 30-inches or larger displays. Except for differences in the transducer complement and performance, all three models feature similar technologies, For example: the PHD60 and 42 feature a 3-way loudspeaker design, while the PHD30 features a 2-way design. All offer voice matching sound quality and exceptional detail over a wide listening area.
5-1/4-INCH TCC WOOFERS WITH CONE-FORWARD™ DESIGN AND BUTYL-RUBBER SUSPENSION
The PHD60/42/30 features newly-developed woofer-cone material that combines injection-molded polypropylene with talc, carbon, and ceramic (TCC) stiffening agents. As a result, the cone offers extreme stiffness and light weight for accurate, dynamic response. Our patent-pending Cone Forward™ design positions the woofer cone at the front of the baffle for natural-sounding bass and clear, open midrange response. Additionally, the use of a butyl-rubber suspension offers substantial benefits, including increased movement without mechanical limitations, and improved midrange damping for better detail and clarity.
1-1/2-INCH FLUID-COOLED TETERON HYPERBOLIC­DOME MIDRANGE DRIVER
The PHD60 and PHD42 also feature a Fluid-Cooled Teteron Hyperbolic-Dome Midrange Driver that provides high sound pressures to reproduce critical mid frequencies with exceptional accuracy.
1-INCH FLUID-COOLED TETERON TRI-LAMINATE TWEETER
The PHD60/42/30’s Fluid-Cooled Teteron Tweeter employs a tri-laminate design consisting of an inner textile layer, which forms the dome, a high damping layer to eliminate unwanted resonances, and an outside layer of urethane to add stiffness and prevent breakup modes. The result is a transparently clear, sweet, natural-sounding tweeter, which still maintains extended frequency response.

ADJUSTABLE, DISPERSION-CONTROLLING MIDRANGE/ TWEETER POD ENABLES PRECISE IMAGING
The PHD60 and PDH42 each feature a unique Midrange/Tweeter pod that can be rotated and pivoted to enable precise imaging regardless of placement. The pod accommodates vertical or horizontal installations and can be set by the installer after each loudspeaker is mounted. Included are variable treble and midrange level controls for additional response contouring.
NILES’ HD HIGH-DEFINITION VOICE MATCHING
Ensures compatibility with other Niles HD High-Definition in-wall, on-wall, and ceiling-mount models to accommodate a wide range of system designs.
ADVANCED BASS-REFLEX DESIGN FOR ENHANCED DYNAMIC IMPACT
The PHD60/42/30’s bass-reflex design enhances low-frequency response and dynamic impact. Moreover, the rigid extruded aluminum enclosure helps deliver accurate bass response with low distortion.
LOOKS GREAT AND EASY TO INSTALL
The PHD60/42/30’s contemporary finish matches popular flat-panel displays, and its integrated wall mount brackets make installation quick and easy.
DOLBY® DIGITAL READY
The PHD60/42/30 is specifically designed for Home Theater Sound. They are designed to complement and provide for the accurate reproduction of Dolby Digital Encoded Sources.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
WALL MOUNTING
The Niles PHD60/42/30 loudspeaker is equipped with an included wall-mount bracket for quick and easy installation on a wall. Ideally, a PHD60/42/30 should be placed so that its bracket can be installed on underlying wall studs. If stud mounting is impractical, dry-wall anchors (rated for at least 40 pounds) can be used to mount the loudspeaker between studs (see INSTALLING THE
WALL-MOUNT BRACKETS on page 7).
RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER POWER
For satisfactory performance, we recommend using a home theater receiver (or amplifier) with a power rating of 10 to 250 watts for the PHD60,10 to 200 watts for the PHD42, and 10 to 150 watts for the PHD30. Most loudspeakers are not damaged by large amplifiers, but rather by small amplifiers. If your system is playing loud music, a small amplifier will run out of power very quickly and can create damaging “clipping” distortions. A more powerful amplifier will play at the same volume without distorting. See OPERATION on page 13 for more information about amplifier
clipping distortion.
LOUDSPEAKER WIRE
Use 2-conductor loudspeaker wire when connecting loudspeakers to your receiver or amplifier. For most applications, we recommend using 16- or 18-gauge wire. For wiring runs longer than 80 feet, we recommend 14-gauge wire. The spring-loaded terminals of the PHD60/42/30 will accommodate up to 12-gauge wire directly. Larger sizes can be accommodated via pin connectors.
When running wire inside walls or ceilings, always use (CL-2 or CL-3) rated cable. In some areas, conduit is also required. For a trouble-free installation, low-voltage wire such as loudspeaker wire must be run in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any applicable provisions of the local building code. If you are unsure of the correct installation techniques, wire jacket, or type of conduit to use, consult a professional audio/video installer, building contractor, or the local building
and inspection department.
TECH TIP
Wire size is expressed by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) number – the lower the number, the larger the wire. For example, 12 AWG is physically larger than 14 AWG.

LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
The Niles PHD60/42/30 loudspeaker is designed for use in front left-, center-, or front right­channel applications. Any model can be wall-mounted using its included wall-mount bracket. For rear-channel applications, we recommend using a Niles HD FX or CM6HDfx loudspeaker.
PLACING PHD60/42/30’S AS THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT LOUDSPEAKERS
In a home theater, the intelligibility of dialog and action reproduced by the front speakers is paramount! The position of the loudspeakers plays a very important role in how clear the sound is and how a stereo image is created.
The PHD60/42/30’s are designed specifically for use with plasma or flat-panel displays in a home theater system. The placement process is quick and easy:
• At the proposed site, make sure the sound will not be blocked or reflected off furniture or other objects. The listener should have a direct line of sight with the front of each loudspeaker. The ideal listening position (e.g., favorite chair or couch) should be centered with the middle of plasma or flat-panel display
• Place the speakers with the ports on the bottom on either side of display, as shown in Figure 1 (also see INSTALLING THE WALL-MOUNT BRACKETS on page 7). In applications where there is a center channel, you may choose to space the left and right main speakers farther apart for a “bigger than life” sound with Dolby movies and TV shows.

PLACING PHD60/42/30’S AS THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT LOUDSPEAKERS
• As for placement height, place front left and right speakers vertically on either side of the display, so that their tweeters are not more than 24 inches above or below the center-channel loudspeaker’s tweeter (see Figure 2 below).
(CONTINUED)
PLACING A PHD60/42/30 AS THE CENTER-CHANNEL LOUDSPEAKER
The center-channel loudspeaker is the workhorse in a home theater system. It handles all of the critical dialog and is vitally important in creating the illusion of sounds emanating directly from the picture. Here are some tips for obtaining optimum center-channel performance:
Not Greater
than 24"
Not Greater
than 24"
• In a typical installation, place the PHD60/42/30 horizontally, directly above or below the plasma or flat-panel display. Make sure the loudspeaker is not placed too high or low relative to the left and right speakers, as shown in Figure 2
• For installations where a perforated projection screen will be used, place the PHD60/42/30 with grille removed, either horizontally or vertically, behind the screen at ear level, as shown in
Figure 3.

INSTALLING THE WALL-MOUNT BRACKETS
TOOLS AND PARTS
We recommend using the following tools and parts to install the PHD60/42/30 wall-mount brackets:
• Electric drill and drill bits
• Philips screwdrivers or driver bit set
• Stud finder
• Eight wood screws with (optional) dry-wall anchors rated for at least 40 pounds
• Pencil
• Level
• Protective eyewear
PRECAUTIONS
Before starting the installation, please observe the following precautions:
• Turn off all system power before making any connections.
• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Make sure hands are clean before installation.
• Wear gloves when working with fiberglass insulation.
INSTALLATION
1. At each proposed site, use a stud finder to locate studs (which should be on 16-inch centers) for possible use in the installation. If the studs do not line up with a desired placement location, the PHD60/42/30 wall-mount bracket can still be mounted on a dry wall with appropriate dry-wall screws and anchors.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE PLASTIC EXPANSION OR THREADED WALL ANCHORS FOR DRY
WALL INSTALLATION. CONSULT YOUR LOCAL NILES DEALER OR HOME HARDWARE STORE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR HOME THEATER APPLICATION.
(CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE)

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
2. For each loudspeaker, orient and tape the enclosed mounting template to the wall at the desired placement location, as shown in Figure 4. Use a level to verify tilt is zero. Be sure to account for any moldings that may interfere with the loudspeaker cabinet upon installation.
Bracket Template
Figure 4. The PHD mounting template is shown in horizontal and vertical positions (with TOP side up).
3. Follow the directions included on the template. Drill four small mounting holes at the designated locations noted on the template. If you also plan to run loudspeaker wire in the wall, you’ll need to create a cutout for it within the noted wire boundary (see Figure 4). When drilling is complete, remove each mounting template.
4. Use the stamped (TOP) label to orient each mounting bracket and run loudspeaker wire through its opening for later connection. Fasten each bracket to the wall with appropriate mounting hardware.

FINISHING THE INSTALLATION
CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKER
1. At each loudspeaker, separate the loudspeaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each loudspeaker wire.
2. On each set of loudspeaker connectors, press down the spring-loaded lever, insert the
appropriate conductor, and then release the lever, as shown in Figure 5. Gently tug on the loudspeaker wire to make sure it is held in place. If not, repeat this procedure until it is. Make sure that only the bare wire is clamped in the connector.
NOTE: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY: POSITIVE (+) GOES INTO THE RED TERMINAL AND
NEGATIVE (–) GOES INTO THE BLACK TERMINAL. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WIRE POLARITY, SEE THE SECTION CHECKING LOUDSPEAKER PHASE ON PAGE 11.
3. If a mounting bracket was installed
on the wall, align each loudspeaker with the two mounting holes (on its bracket) and let it slide down into the keyslot on the bracket to fasten it to the wall, as shown in
Figure 6. Installing a PHD60/42/30 loudspeaker onto its mounting bracket.

CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKER (CONTINUED)
4. Connect the other end of the loudspeaker wires to the home theater receiver (or amplifier) in the same way as steps 1 and 2.
5. Turn on the home theater receiver and calibrate all loudspeakers in the system according to the receiver manufacturer’s instructions.
PHD60/42: SETTING THE TWEETER/MIDRANGE POD
Each PHD60/42 features an adjustable Tweeter/Midrange Pod on the front baffle for proper loudspeaker orientation and precise imaging, as shown in Figure 7. Adjust the pod as follows:
Figure 7. Each PHD60/42 includes an adjustable Tweeter/Midrange Pod that can be rotated up to 90 degrees for proper loudspeaker orientation and pivoted for precise imaging.
• For a vertical installation, no adjustments are required. The Tweeter/Midrage pod is
optimally set at the factory for this placement.
• For a horizontal installation (e.g., center-channel application), perform the following
steps to rotate the Tweeter/Midrage pod:
1. Using the enclosed Allen wrench, remove the four (4) Allen-head screws,
(see Figure 7).
2. Gently pull the pod away from the enclosure and rotate it 90° in either direction (see
Figure 7). Be careful not to disconnect any attached wires during rotation.
3. Place the pod back into the enclosure and reinstall the four (4) Allen-head screws.
• If desired, after vertical or horizontal installation, set the imaging by pressing the pod’s
edge to aim the drivers at the listening position (see Figure 7).

PHD60/42: ACOUSTIC FINE TUNING
Each PHD60/42 also features variable TREBLE and MIDRANGE controls on the front baffle for acoustic fine-tuning after placement, as shown in Figure 8. Adjust these controls as follows:
Figure 8. Each PHD60/42 includes variable TREBLE and MIDRANGE controls with up to 3 dB of boost or cut in the response.
• Initially set both TREBLE and MIDRANGE control to 0 dB.
• If a PHD60/42 is placed in a room with highly reflective surfaces like glass or tile or
the reproduced sound is too bright, decrease the TREBLE setting by as much as –3 dB to lower the high-frequency response. If the room has heavy drapes or is wallpapered, try increasing the TREBLE setting by as much as +3 dB to brighten the high-frequency response.
• Listen to dialog being reproduced on the PHD60/42. If you want it more pronounced,
increase the MIDRANGE setting by as much as +3 dB to enhance the mid-frequency response. If the dialog is too pronounced, decrease the MIDRANGE setting by as much as –3 dB to lower the mid-frequency response.
CHECKING LOUDSPEAKER PHASE
Loudspeaker wire has two conductors. On both your loudspeaker and amplifier, one conductor is attached to the negative (–) terminals, while the other is attached to the positive (+) terminals. Usually, the wire is marked for your convenience, but the marking can be done in the following different ways:
• Stripe on one wire
• Ribbed area you can feel on one conductor
• Different colors of metal wire on each conductor
• Fabric strand or string wound into one of the conductors
(CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE)
11
CHECKING LOUDSPEAKER PHASE (CONTINUED)
Of course, there are some wires that appear completely identical. So be careful, or you might make a connection mistake. If you do, one loudspeaker will be playing “out-of-phase” with the other loudspeaker. A pair of out-of-phase loudspeakers works against each other, and the sound of the two playing together will be lacking in bass and sound “phasey.” If you suspect the sound is not right, and you cannot see any markings on the wire, try this simple test:
1. Stand halfway between the loudspeakers.
2. Play some music with the amplifier or receiver set to Mono.
3. Listen to the richness of the bass and the loudness of the sound.
4. Turn off the amplifier and reverse the connections on one amplifier channel only.
5. Repeat the listening test with the same volume control setting. When the sound has a richer bass and is slightly louder, the loudspeakers are working together or “in-phase.”
INSTALLING THE GRILLE
If desired, at each loudspeaker, carefully fit the grille to its cabinet. Starting with one corner, gently press the grille frame around the loudspeaker’s edge, pushing it in at each of the recessed holes.

NILES AUDIO CORPORATION – 1-800-BUY-HIFI
OPERATION
LISTENING AT HIGHER VOLUMES
Achieving a reasonable volume of sound in a large room requires more amplifier power than it does in a small room. It is possible to turn the volume up so high that the amplifier runs out of power. This creates “clipping” distortion, which will make treble sound very harsh and unmusical.
When you hear harsh-sounding treble from any good loudspeaker, turn the volume down immediately! Those harsh sounds are masking much more powerful ultra-high-frequency sound spikes, which will quickly damage any fine loudspeaker. You are much less likely to damage a loudspeaker driven by a large amplifier because it will be very loud before any clipping distortion is produced.
CLEANING
To clean the enclosure, use a dampened soft cloth or paper towel. To clean the grille, use a gentle vacuum cleaner.
