„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.

The magnetically shielded VS-1.2a Audio / Video Satellite loudspeaker is designed to provide high-performance sound when used as a front, center, and surround speaker in five-channel home theater systems. The VS-1.2a employs the identical drive units as the companion VT-1.2 Audio / Video Tower loudspeaker, which may be used as front left & right speakers for a full-range, timbre-matched system.

„Placement

The VS-1.2a is designed for use as either a center channel speaker in its horizontal orientation, or a satellite speaker in its vertical orientation. The VS-1.2a is designed for indoor use only.

When installing the VS-1.2a as a center channel speaker, it should be placed directly above or below the television, as close to the screen as possible (fig.1). The VS-1.2a is magnetically shielded and will not distort the picture’s color.

Ideally, the three front speakers in a home theater system should be placed at equal height, equidistant, and at ear level from the listening position. However, it is frequently not possible to install a center speaker at ear level, as the top surface of most televisions tends to be higher than ear level in the seated position. To address this problem, the VS-1.2a is supplied with an adjustable foot (fig. 2). This foot is used to angle or aim the speaker so that it radiates sound directly toward the listening position. The foot can also be used to level the VS-1.2a if the top of the TV has an uneven surface. Attach the rubber pad to the bottom of the foot to prevent it from sliding. Adjust the VS-1.2a to the desired angle, then tighten the finger screw. For best performance, place the VS-1.2a so that its baffle (front) is even with the front of your television (fig. 3). This will eliminate diffraction effects caused by sound waves bouncing off the top surface of your televi- sion. Rubber feet are included to protect both your VS-1.2a and your furniture from possible scratches. To install the feet, peel off their adhesive backings and stick them on four corners of the bottom surface, (whichever it is) of the VS-1.2a.

VS-1.2a specifications

The NHT VS-1.2a is a well-regarded speaker system that combines modern technology with thoughtful design to deliver exceptional sound quality. This speaker model is part of the NHT brand, which has a reputation for producing high-fidelity audio equipment. The VS-1.2a is designed primarily for home audio use, catering to audiophiles who seek both aesthetics and performance.

One of the standout features of the NHT VS-1.2a is its robust build quality. The cabinet is constructed from high-density MDF (medium-density fiberboard), which helps minimize resonance and coloration of the sound. This careful attention to cabinet design contributes to the speaker's superior acoustics. The VS-1.2a is available in several finishes, allowing it to blend seamlessly with various home decors.

Technologically, the NHT VS-1.2a employs advanced driver components. The speaker uses a 5.25-inch woofer that is engineered to produce deep and precise bass response. Accompanying the woofer is a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, known for its smooth high-frequency response. Together, these drivers create a balanced sound profile that covers a wide range of frequencies, ensuring that both music and movies are reproduced with clarity and detail.

Another notable characteristic of the VS-1.2a is its versatility. Whether used in a two-channel stereo setup or as part of a multi-channel home theater system, this speaker adapts well to various audio configurations. Its compact size makes it suitable for smaller spaces, while still delivering powerful sound performance.

Moreover, the NHT VS-1.2a features a well-designed crossover network that efficiently directs frequencies to the appropriate drivers. This results in less distortion and improved tonal coherence, making every listening experience more enjoyable. The speaker is also capable of handling considerable power, which affords users the ability to play their audio at elevated volume levels without compromising sound quality.

In summary, the NHT VS-1.2a stands out for its combination of high-quality construction, advanced driver technology, and versatility in use. Its ability to deliver exceptional sound in both stereo and multi-channel home theater applications makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience. The NHT VS-1.2a not only meets but exceeds the expectations of discerning listeners, ensuring it remains a popular choice among audio enthusiasts.
