exact 16” spacing. There are three offset “keyholes,” but only one keyhole will be correct for your installation (see Fig. 7). When mounting the VS-1.2a vertically, use the middle keyhole on each bracket, and make sure that the brack- ets are installed so that the narrow section of each keyhole faces the direction that will be “up” once the speaker is on the wall. When mounting the VS-1.2a horizontally, use the appropriate “up”-facing keyhole on each bracket, making sure that both brackets face the same direction.

8.Using the short screws, attach the brackets to the VS-1.2a. Do not over-tighten the screws, as this may strip the pilot holes. On power screwdrivers, use the low-torque setting. Tighten the screws enough so that the bracket cannot move on the speaker.

9.Attach speaker cable to the VS-1.2a. When possible in new construction applications, run the cable inside the wall and have it come out directly behind the location of the VS-1.2a. If this is not possible, simply run the cable along the wall behind the VS-1.2a.

Note: The speaker cable must be a maximum of 1/8-inches thick in order to fit between the speaker and the wall.

10.Hold up the VS-1.2a so that the brackets are aligned with the wall screws. Carefully place the brackets over the screws so that the screw heads slide into the round sections of the keyholes. Slowly move the VS-1.2a downward until the bracket has locked over the screw. Ensure that both brackets are securely mounted to their screws.

If you are unable to slide the VS-1.2a brackets down onto the wall screws, check to ensure:

zNothing is obstructing the speaker

zThe brackets are mounted on the speaker with both facing the same direction

zYou are using the proper keyhole on both brackets

zThe wall screws are exactly 16 inches apart, centered on the studs

zThere is enough room between the screw head and the wall for the bracket to slide down.

„System Configurations

The VS-1.2a is optimized for use in the latest five-channel discrete digital surround systems. Since digital surround soundtracks are mixed as five discrete channels, uniform tonality in the playback system is essential for achieving a believable “you are there” sound. The VS-1.2a satellites and VT-1.2 towers utilize identical upper range drivers, so there are two system configura- tions that will each provide matched timbre to all five channels:

1- Use a pair of VT-1.2 Audio / Video Towers for the front left and right speakers and three VS-1.2a’s for the center and rear speakers. Configure all low frequencies to be sent to the VT-1.2’s. Since the VT-1.2’s have built-in subwoofers, a separate subwoofer is an option and not a necessity in this system.

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.
