Whenever an object is affixed to a wall, you must take special care to mount it securely, to prevent it from falling and causing possible injury. THE VS-1.2a MOUNTING BRACKET MUST BE ATTACHED TO STUDS, AS DRYWALL (SHEETROCK) ALONE CANNOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT. Make sure that the mounting bracket will not interfere with electrical wiring, plumbing, etc. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THE INSTALLATION OF THIS MOUNT- ING BRACKET, CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR. Follow the mounting instructions carefully to ensure proper installation.

There are two ways to mount the VS-1.2a to the wall with the supplied mounting bracket: horizontally or vertically. Before installing the bracket, determine the desired orientation of the speaker.

If the VS-1.2a’s are to be mounted on the side walls and behind the listening position, it is advisable to mount them vertically, using the cabinets’ shape to aim the speakers inward toward the listening position. If the VS-1.2a’s are to be mounted on the rear wall of the room, it is advisible to mount them horizontally and high up on the wall, using the cabinets’ shape to aim the speakers downward toward the listening position.

1.Do not attach the bracket to the VS-1.2a yet! That comes later.

2.Begin by selecting the desired area on the wall where the VS-1.2a will be mounted. Using a studfinder (or the old-fashioned “knocking” method), locate one or two adjacent studs, spaced 16 inches apart. If the VS-1.2a is to be mounted vertically, both brackets are mounted to the same stud. If the VS-1.2a is to be mounted horizontally, the brackets must be mounted to two adjacent studs.

3.Using the supplied mounting template, mark the two screw locations, 16 inches apart and centered on the stud(s) - (see Fig. 4). Use the level to ensure that the screw locations are lined up precisely.

4.Drill a 1/8-inch pilot hole into the wall for each screw. Be sure that the hole passes through the drywall and into the stud. If the hole does not reach a stud, re-position the screws and pilot holes until it does.

5.Insert one long screw into each pilot hole. Screw all the way into the wall, until the screw head rests on the wall surface.

6.Place an unmounted bracket over each screw so that the screw head rests in the round section of the keyhole (Fig. 5). Don’t worry about which keyhole to use at this point. Loosen the screw 1 to 1-1/2 turns, until the bracket is able to slide down and the screw head now rests in the narrow section of the keyhole. The wall screws are now properly set.

7.Locate the four pilot holes (two per side) pre-drilled into the back of the VS-1.2a. Place one bracket above each pair of holes (Fig. 6). Take care to align the brackets carefully: Both brackets must be installed facing the same direction to ensure

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.

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.
