Before we start, please, consider hiring a pro installer to do this while you go fishing with some old friends.
Cutting holes in ceilings and walls and installing heavy objects above you and your loved ones heads is serious business. There are
also numerous decisions concerning wiring, control systems, methods, and best practices only a professional will have knowledge of.
Please consult a professional to install this speaker.
Find an Installer near you by visiting www.nhthifi.com - navigate to the Where to Buy section or visit www.cedia.org to find a CEDIA
installation professional.
One last word of advice - It is up to you to insure that the installer (NHT referred or not) possesses sufficient skill, the proper tools,
knowledge of local fire and building codes, and a familiarity with the structure of the building (especially wall and/or ceiling materials,
layouts, electrical and plumbing lines, etc.).
With the above said, we know there are capable do-it-yourselfers. If you are one of them and want to install the speaker on your
own or with the help of an expert friend, read on. If you have questions or need assistance at any time before, during or after the
installation or about the operation of you new speakers, we’re here to help. Finally, like our fathers told us, measure twice and cut
once.
First Paint Warning:
NHT recommends that you use a capable, professional painter only to paint this speaker grill (if necessary to
perfectly match the wall or ceiling). Latex paint will definitely clog the micro-perforated grill holes and constrict the speaker’s perfor-
mance capability. Contact us if you need a new grill cover because yours is plugged up with paint. Unfortunately they are not free.
