OWNER’S MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of NFM monitors from
Proficient. The NFM models represent a new approach to per-
formance in home audio. They’re designed to focus the sound
image on a closer plane, so you’ll enjoy excellent dynamic
response and staging throughout the listening area. Moreover,
the NFM models will deliver great sound at all output levels,
from low to high.
The NFM6 features a 61/2" polypropylene cone woofer and a
1" aluminum dome tweeter. Both offer accurate, full-range
response in a larger-sized surround or stereo room.
The NFM5 has a 51/4" polypropylene woofer and 1" aluminum-
dome tweeter, making it a good choice for a medium-sized
listening area.
INTRODUCTION
The NFM speakers are ideal for use as stereo speakers or in the
front, side or rear of any home theater system. Because they’re
shielded, they can be placed close to a TV without the prob-
lem of magnetic interference. When using the NFM speaker for
left and right in the front, the cabinets should be positioned
vertically with the tweeter facing forward on the same plane
as the screen. (See Diagram 1)
Generally, the speakers should be positioned to constitute two
points of an equilateral triangle, with the listener at the third
point. (See Diagram 2)
Once the placement of the NFM speakers has been determined,
attach the self-adhesive pads (supplied) at each corner of the
bottom-facing side. These will limit unwanted resonance and
help protect the supporting surface and speaker cabinet from
unwanted marring in the event the NFMs are moved.
