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 your 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
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.
