Ideally, the Power should be placed in close proximity to the NHT Controller or surround processor. Minimizing cable lengths reduces the chance of noise pickup. Note: Due to the placement of the Power on the rear panel, do not install the Power box or similar enclosure where access to the power switch is blocked or inconvenient.
Where audio wires and AC power cords inter- sect, cross them at right angles. The Power5 has five inputs. It’s best before you set up your system to decide what channels are used for what speakers. Here’s a typical 5 channel configuration:...
The gold plated binding posts on all NHT products will accept raw wire or virtually any type of special purpose terminal. If you plan to use raw wire, strip 1/2" to 3/4" of insulation from the ends, twisting the exposed wire strands tightly.
When connected to the NHT Controller it controls on/standby/mute, just like the 12 volt trigger. NOTE: when using the NHT Bus, do not use the 12 volt trigger. The Controller can also turn on and off channels when you are listening to five channel surround or just 2 chan- nel stereo.
Chances are you bought the Power5 with a NHT Controller and possibly NHT speakers. Here’s an exam- ple of how the system should be connected. See the NHT Controller User Guide for more information on connect- ing your NHT system.
Power Connection CAUTION: Before connecting anything make sure the Power and all your other electronic components are turned off. The Power 5 amplifier receives power via the detachable IEC style power cord. Note: Due to the placement of the Power 5’ s power switch on the rear panel, do not install the Power 5 in a wooden box or similar enclosure where access to the power switch is blocked or inconvenient.
Care and Maintanance You may need to dust or clean the Power5 every once in a while to maintain its beautiful finish. WARNING: Make sure the power cable is unplugged before cleaning.
