Line level connection in parallel, no high-pass filtering,with main amplifier and SA-2 connected from preamplifier

Use if:

You have a receiver with “Pre-Out” jacks but no “Main-In” jacks

You have a separate preamplifier and main amplifier

This connection method results in sending a full-range line-level signal to both the main amplifier and the SA-2. If you have a separate preamplifier that features two sets of line outputs, each set is connected to one amplifier. If the preamplifier features only one set of line outputs, use “Y”-adaptors to split the signal.

If you have a receiver with “Pre-Out” jacks but no “Main-In” jacks, you can use the “Pre-Out” jacks to connect the SA-2, without having to route the signal back to the receiver. Do not use the receiver’s “Subwoofer Out” jacks to connect the SA-2, as this signal is likely to be different from the full-range L & R channel signal.

1)Run a pair of RCA interconnect cables from preamplifier output #1 to the SA-2’s LINE IN jacks.

2)Run a second pair of RCA interconnect cables from preamplifier output #2 to the main amplifier’s line inputs.

3)Remove the binding post jumper straps from the tower speaker (VERY IMPORTANT!).

4)Run speaker cables from the main amplifier’s speaker output terminals to the tower speakers’ upper pairs of binding posts.

5)Run a second pair of speaker cables from the SA-2’s SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal to the tower speakers’ lower pairs of binding posts (both speakers). Since there is only one Subwoofer Output terminal on the SA-2, connect both speaker cables to the single ter- minal.

Note: When biamplifying with two SA-2’s, run RCA interconnect cables to either the SA-2’s left or right LINE IN jacks. For more gain, use a “Y”-adaptor to utilize both the left and right inputs.

SA-2 specifications

The NHT SA-2 is a remarkable achievement in the world of audio engineering, representing a synthesis of innovative design, advanced technology, and exceptional acoustic performance. Launched by NHT (Next High Technology), a company renowned for its commitment to high-fidelity audio reproduction, the SA-2 stands out for both its aesthetic appeal and high-performance specifications.

One of the standout features of the NHT SA-2 is its compact design, making it suitable for a variety of listening environments. This speaker is engineered to deliver a full-range sound experience despite its smaller footprint. The SA-2 utilizes a proprietary 5.25-inch woofer that is designed to produce deep and rich bass tones, complemented by a 1-inch silk dome tweeter that excels in handling high frequencies. This combination allows the SA-2 to reproduce a broad dynamic range, ensuring that listeners can experience their music with clarity and detail.

In terms of technology, the NHT SA-2 leverages advanced materials and construction techniques to enhance performance. The woofer cone is formed from a specially engineered composite material that offers both rigidity and lightweight properties. This helps to minimize distortion and ensures that sound waves are produced accurately. Additionally, the tweeter's silk dome design contributes to a smooth frequency response, reducing harshness and delivering a more natural sound.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the NHT SA-2 is its versatility. It is designed for both two-channel stereo setups and can easily integrate into multi-channel home theater systems. The speaker can be used in various configurations, whether as part of a dedicated music listening space or in a surround sound setup, making it a flexible choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

The SA-2 also benefits from thoughtful engineering. Its rear-firing port enhances bass response, allowing for greater low-frequency extension without requiring excessive cabinet size. This design choice enables it to adapt well in different room environments, further enhancing its usability.

Overall, the NHT SA-2 embodies the core principles of high-quality audio reproduction. With its advanced construction, thoughtful engineering, and versatile application, it is an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their listening experience. Whether used for music, movies, or gaming, the NHT SA-2 promises a captivating and immersive sound that delights the senses.
