Design
NHT speakers are designed to deliver refined, musical sound from attractive and affordable packages. Our efforts are
guided by the study of human hearing and are optimized for real-world use. Every NHT speaker undergoes rigorous
testing and quality control at the factory to ensure you years of listening pleasure.
With performance characterized by wide dispersion and uniform frequency response, the magnetically shielded VS-2a
Audio / Video Satellite loudspeaker is designed to provide state-of-the-art home theater sound when used as a front, cen-
ter, and surround speaker in digital 5.1-channel home theater systems. The VS-2a employs the identical drive units as the
companion VT-2 Audio / Video Tower loudspeaker, which may be used as front L-R speakers for a full-range, timbre-
matched system.
Coherent Array Design
Traditionally, the physical separation of the drivers on a speaker baffle has made it difficult to create an integrated
soundstage for different listening positions. To address this problem, the VS-2a features NHT’s proprietary Coherent Array
design, an integrated baffle assembly which incorporates multiple drivers spaced closely together. The Coherent Array
design configuration offers the advantages of multi-driver systems that deliver dynamic and realistic sound pressure
levels over a wide frequency range, while overcoming the acute wave interference problems caused by the driver spacing
in traditional designs. The result is uniform frequency response to a wide range of listening positions.
Placement
The VS-2a is designed for use as either a center channel speaker in its horizontal orientation, or a satellite speaker in its vertical
orientation. The VS-2a is designed for indoor use only.
