O2 ARC Indoor / Outdoor Loudspeaker Installation Guide
the speaker at the listening area. Loosen the two large recessed knobs (wing-dings) a little bit, but not too far on each end to free up
the bracket and enable you to rotate the speaker – click-click-click into position (Fig. ). You tighten the two large wingdings to lock the
speaker in position by twisting hard and making a grunting sound. Farting is optional.
Prepare for the big wire connection moment by stripping /4” to 3/8” of insulation from the wire ends and twisting the exposed wire
strands tightly. We have heard counter-clockwise sound better. The gold plated, push-to-open posts on the back of the speaker will
prefer to bite down on bare wire and other stuff too. Be sure to wire both the left and right speakers “in-phase.” That fancy hi-fi lingo for
making sure, the positive (red +) terminal on the amplifier speaker output is connected to the corresponding positive (red +) terminal
on the speaker. Do the same with the negative (black -) terminals. Explaining it is harder than actually doing it. All speaker cables have
some sort of marking along one or both conductors to help you make the correct connections. Proper wiring of the speakers is critical
to good sound - speaker wires have some sort of marking along one or both conductors to help you make the correct connections. If
they don’t have this marking, take them back to that guy in the white van in the grocery store parking lot that sold you the stuff.
Logo Installation Instructions? Really.
An adhesive NHT logo is supplied with the O2-ARC. If you choose to be festive and advertise your NHT investment, peel off the adhesive
backing and place it on the center of the grille, about a half inch from the bottom edge, or on the side-center-bottom-edge, or on your
computer monitor, stove, your car dashboard, or on your cat, or not.
