Design

NHT loudspeakers are designed to deliver refined, musical sound from attractive and affordable packages.  Our efforts are guided by
the study of human hearing and are optimized for real world use.  Every NHT speaker undergoes rigorous testing and quality control at
the factory to ensure you years of listening pleasure.

NHT in-ceiling loudspeakers are designed to deliver the sonics and value of NHT’s acclaimed freestanding speakers, while offering the
invisibility of in-ceiling installation.  The drive units are custom designed to achieve a level of performance not normally associated with
in-ceiling speakers, while the intuitive mounting system makes them ideal for new or existing construction.  The iC2, iC3 and iC4 employ
NHT’s innovative three tweeter array for more even sound dispersion to a wider range of listening areas.
