NHT SuperPower User Manual

SuperPower
90 watt powered speaker
Making music, listening to music, and
discovering new music with our friends: it's
hard wired into who we are. We know that
most people out there feel the same way,
but are turned off by the cost, complexity
and attitude that's wrapped around high
performance audio, so they settle for some
cheap and cheery plastic speaker system
instead.
That's why we designed SuperPower; a self-
contained amplified speaker with just one
control – a power switch. SuperPower can
connect to any device you want to get great
sound from. Computers, iPods, TVs, mixing
boards -- anything with a headphone or line
output plays beautifully with SuperPower.
No proprietary cabling or special wireless
systems required, nothing to sync or pair.
Just plug SuperPower into the wall, plug in
your device, turn on the power switch and
start playing - they just work.
Details:
SuperPower shares much of its DNA with
the award winning NHT's Professional M-00
Powered Speaker and SuperZero 2.0 mini
speaker. Like those excellent designs, Super-
Power features a 4.5" pulp cone woofer and
a 1" soft dome tweeter in a compact sealed
enclosure.
This sealed, or "acoustic suspension" design
is very important to the SuperPower, and
many other NHT designs. In an acoustic
suspension design, the air trapped inside
the enclosure acts as a spring to control
the woofer cone's motion which helps keep
distortion low and allows the diminutive Su-
perPower to produce the sort of deep bass
and dynamics usually associated with much
larger speakers.
It's not all about the bass though. Thanks to
careful engineering, careful components se-
lection and a compact, well-braced cabinet,
the SuperPower produces lifelike vocals and
a rock solid stereo image so you can hear all
the details buried in your favorite songs.
Super Series
Providing the "Power" in SuperPower is a
muscular, yet sophisticated Class D ampli-
fier that provides a real 90 watts of clean
amplification. Because of its modern Class D
design, SuperPower's amplifier is extremely
efficient converting up to 90% of the elec-
tricy used into music rather than heat. In
standby, SuperPower draws less power from
the wall than a single AA battery and when
you decide it time to get out of Dodge for
some R&R, we included a good, old-fashion
power switch on the back of each speaker
to bring power draw to zero.
The final contributor to SuperPowers stun-
ning performance is decidedly less romantic
but worth mentioning for the curious. It's
the NHT inside - that little magical bit of
circuit board stuffed with electronic bits
where we pour our 20+ years of experience
that mates SuperPower's amplifier with its
acoustics. We know our competitiors are
anxious retrieve this "magic bullet" to learn
our our secrets.
The secret behind SuperPower is, in fact, is
that magic that happens when the speaker
ends up being more than sum of its excel-
lent parts. We carefully designed every ele-
ment of the SuperPower to work together
perfectly, so you can enjoy your music
without having to worry about matching
the right amplifier, cables, and speakers
together. High end sound made easy and
affordible.
