Connections
Before connecting your M7 speakers to the receiver/amplifier, turn off the AC power to avoid potential damage to
your components.
Take a look at the terminals on the back of your speakers. They can accept raw wire, banana
plugs or spade lugs. Note that these terminals should be tightened only by hand, as excess force can break them.
We recommend your speaker wire be at least 14 gauge. Your NHT dealer can recommend the correct wire. Use
the same length of wire for each channel. Prepare the wires by stripping ¼" - 3/8" of insulation from
the ends and tightly twist the exposed strands. Finally, connect your speakers to your amplifier or
receiver, making sure that the speakers are "in phase,” that is, the same half of the wire pair connected to the
Positive terminal (+, usually red) on both the amplifier and the speaker. The other half of the same wire
connect to the Negative (-, usually black) terminals on both amplifier and speaker.
Most speaker wire has one half of the pair marked with either lettering, ridges, the "+" sign or color to help you
make the proper connections. Before powering up the receiver/amplifier, make sure there are no stray strands from
one terminal touching the other terminals. Also, try to keep speaker wires from laying across AC power cords.
Operation
All NHT Classic speakers are compatible with most amplifier power ranges and are designed to handle a
wide range of listening levels. Every speaker, however, has limits and it is important to listen for them. Speaker
damage most often occurs from sustained high volume levels in some or all frequencies. Try to avoid excessive
bass or treble settings or equalizer boosts. The best tool you have is your ears. If you hear unusual distortion or
breakup, decrease the volume immediately. If you are unsure, place your hand close to the woofer. If you feel heat
radiating from the driver, you are playing the system beyond its limits.
Maintenance
Your NHT speakers will require little if any maintenance under normal use. Try to avoid exposing them to direct,
sustained sunlight, high temperatures or moisture. Cabinets can best be dusted using a clean, soft chamois cloth.
The finish on your speakers is durable but dry rough cloth can leave fine scratches over time. Try to avoid using
liquid cleaners and household furniture polish, particularly around the speaker components. To clean grilles, remove
them from the speaker and use a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest setting. Do not attempt to clean the speaker
components.
