Model 2.
Thank you for your purchase of the NHT Model 2.5i Tower Loudspeaker. Please take a few minutes to read through this Owner’s Manual prior to installing your new speakers. The information provided will help you to obtain maximum performance from your audio system. If you have questions or need assistance at any time during the installation or operation of your new speakers, please call your NHT Dealer or our Toll-Free Customer Hotline at: 1-800-NHT-9993 Please retain the Model 2.
Placement The Model 2.5i is a floorstanding tower speaker that requires no stands or mounting hardware other than the included SpikeKit. The Model 2.5i is designed for indoor use only. As the Model 2.5i is not a magnetically shielded loudspeaker, do not place it closer than 18 inches from a television. Unshielded magnets placed in close proximity to a television screen can cause discoloration of the picture.
Connections Before connecting speakers to your system, it is very important that you turn off the power to your amplifier / receiver to avoid damage to the equipment. The Model 2.5i loudspeaker system is compatible with virtually all quality amplifiers. Proper wiring of the speakers is essential to good sound. At a minimum, 14AWG wire is recommended for runs of 10 feet or less, with heavier special purpose speaker wire used for longer runs.
Operation The Model 2.5i was designed to handle a wide range of listening levels, but every speaker has limits. It is important to use common sense and listen for signs of possible distress from the speakers. Underpowered amplifiers are most often the cause of speaker damage. For example, a 60-watt amplifier runs out of power when called upon to produce more than 60 watts, and the resulting distortion can damage the speaker.
