NHT's Classic Series represents our best efforts to date
in passive loudspeaker design. Classic starts with the
design fundamentals that have made NHT's reputation
for accuracy and high performance, and adds new driver
and cabinet technologies which reduce distortion and
improve dispersion.
The benefit to you is a more
articulate, more musical listening experience.
All Classic Series models share a similar "voice" or
tonality so that you are assured a matched system no
matter which models you decide to add as you build your
system.
The following Setup Guide will help you unpack, connect
and place your new Classic loudspeakers in your
listening room. If you are interested in specifications or
the technology used in the design, please visit our web-
site at www.nhthifi.com and look up information on your
specific model. If at any time during or after setup you
require assistance, feel free to call our Customer Hotline
at 1-800-NHT-9993 (800-648-9993).
This Setup Guide addresses the following models: Two
C and the Three C center channel speakers. Both are 3-
way, acoustic suspension systems, the Three C offering
deeper bass and higher output than the Two C. NHT
uses a 3-way design for its Classic center channels to
provide wider dispersion and lower distortion, so that
even if you are listening off axis, the tonality of vocals
and dialog remain consistent and clear.
Unpacking your Speakers
You will also notice an unusually shaped piece of foam
with an adhesive backing. The purpose of this foam is to
reduce unwanted reflections caused by interaction
between the tweeter and midrange drivers. To get the
best performance from the Two C and Three C, install
this foam part. Fig. 1 demonstrates where to mount the
foam part.

Placement
NHT's Classic center channel designs are meant to be
placed horizontally. Ideally the center channel should be
placed immediately above or below the television, in as
close proximity as possible (Fig. 2).

The three front speakers in a home theater system
sound best when placed at the same distance and the
same height in relation to each other. In addition, try if
possible to have the tweeter height close to ear level
when sitting. In situations where the top face of your
television may be higher than ear level, you can use the
supplied "3rd foot" (Fig. 3) to aim the speaker at your
listening position.
