Attach the speaker cable to the connection terminals at the rear
of the speakers, being careful to observe the proper polarity
with your amplifier (positive/positive and negative/negative).
(See Diagram 3)
Your Authorized Proficient Dealer can provide cable that is
matched to the speakers for best performance, but in any case
we recommend, at least, that 16/2 stranded wire be used.
WIRING
NFM speakers feature a fixed-tweeter design for smooth upper
frequencies. (See Diagram 4) So, while it is usually best to aim the
speaker enclosure directly into the listening space, the charac-
teristics of your listening area may require a slight departure
from the norm.
For example, if more treble is needed in the primary listen-
ing area, aim the speaker toward it (on-axis). If less treble is
required, point the unit slightly away from the area (off-axis).
When used as side or rear channel speakers in a surround envi-
ronment, the speakers should point toward the adjacent walls
to prevent the build-up of standing waves that could other-
wise confuse the sound image.
The NFM6 will provide sufficient low-frequency response to
perform well in a multichannel surround or stereo configura-
tion, with or without the use of a subwoofer.
The NFM5, being intended for medium-size rooms, is best
used with an 8" or 10" subwoofer to help maximum low-
frequency performance.
