| Niles’ extensive loudspeaker line is guided by the simple concept of "Form Follows Function." Responding to suggestions, perceived problems and opportunities from dealers, installers, and end-users, Niles engineers design each speaker to deliver outstanding value and performance in a particular application.
Niles entered the loudspeaker marketplace in 1988 with its first in–wall loudspeakers, followed in 1990 by ceiling–mount models. In 1994 came the OS10, the first in Niles’ award–winning line of indoor/outdoor speakers. It became an instant hit and defined the category. In 1997, Niles introduced the AT Advanced Technology series, consisting of loudspeakers designed to satisfy even the most discriminating audiophile. To create them, Niles applied the most modern theories of acoustics to aerospace materials and technology Also during 1997, Niles introduced the HD CTR/LRS High Definition series, featuring Directed Sound Field Geometry®. These high–power, in–wall loudspeakers accurately recreate high–fidelity home theater sound, making in–wall surround sound an effective reality. The acoustical properties of these speakers and the interactions between the speaker’s components actually "steer® the sound directly towards the listener. Another major advance came in 1999 with the introduction of Niles’ first SI Stereo Input loudspeakers. Featuring a dual voice–coil woofer and dual tweeters in a stereo–imaging faceplate, SI loudspeakers deliver stereo sound from a single speaker. An SI loudspeaker is the ideal choice in a confined space with room for just one speaker. In multiples, these speakers provide quality sound and balanced coverage throughout hallways, large rooms, patios, and other interior and outdoor spaces. In 2001, Niles expanded the concept of focused sound distribution through Directed Sound Field Geometry® with the new ceiling–mount DS Directed Soundfield™ loudspeakers. Without compromising the quality of the listening experience, they resolve architectural issues such as cathedral or vaulted ceilings, alignment with in–ceiling lighting, and a plasma display over a fireplace where space for a center channel is lacking. Although intended primarily for the Home Theater environment, DS Directed Soundfield loudspeakers also perform quite well in whole-house distributed music applications. Their flexibility enables installers to direct the sound where it needs to go to achieve optimal acoustic performance. The culmination of all this experience in high–performance loudspeakers came with the introduction of StageFront Home Theater Solutions. Improvements in source material such as high–definition Blu–ray discs place higher demands on loudspeakers, and integrating loudspeakers with your décor can be an equally challenging proposition. To solve these problems, the entire StageFront line is voice–matched to deliver uniform sound quality, regardless of loudspeaker type. This enables you to freely mix–and–match loudspeakers that are built into cabinets, placed on stands, and built into walls.

| The history of SpeakerCraft is a story of innovation, determination and a drive to provide technology that makes a difference in the lives of their customers. From its genesis over thirty years ago as a small retail storefront the company later began producing loudspeakers for motor homes. This led to SpeakerCraft creating the first in-wall speaker and in doing so igniting an industry. As they left their retail roots behind, the company became an OEM manufacturer for some of the largest names in the audio business.
In 1994 SpeakerCraft released a series of custom installed loudspeakers under their own brand and the result of that effort has been nothing short of incredible. The key to their success was in the selection of an enthusiastic young man who had cut his teeth in the business on the retail floor and spent countless hours selling and installing audio systems. As the National Sales Manager, Jeremy Burkhardt not only forged alliances with the top dealers in the country but he was also a major force in new product development. Through his incredible energy and determination the products and support from SpeakerCraft set new standards in the industry. Jeremy has surrounded himself with a team of industry professionals. Dave Donald, V.P. of Marketing, was a mentor to Jeremy in his youth. As the Director of Sales for a company that was sourcing all of their products from SpeakerCraft, he shared with Jeremy key philosophies and strategies of successful sales and marketing. Jeff Francisco, SpeakerCraft’s V.P. of Product Development worked with Jeremy at the original retail location and has been a part of the business for 30 years. Jason Markley, Director of Sales grew up with Jeremy and joined the team in 1991. These critical players are responsible for the dramatic growth, industry domination and superior technical reputation that are all part of the SpeakerCraft legend. Today, under Mr. Burkhardt’s leadership, the company has become the world leader in custom installed loudspeakers and electronics. Available through dealers across the U.S. and over 80 countries around the world, SpeakerCraft offers the broadest selection of custom audio products and accessories available anywhere.
