Connect the SA-2 from a receiver / preamplifier’s “Pre-Out”, “Line Out” or “Subwoofer Out,” with no high-pass filtering

Use if:

You wish to run your L & R speakers full-range

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

You have a receiver with “Subwoofer Out” jacks

This method of connection allows your main speakers to receive the full-range audio signal (no high-pass filtering), and the subwoofer to be utilized for low bass extension only.

1)Your L & R speakers are connected directly from your amplifier / receiver.

2)If you have a receiver with “Pre-Out” (or “Line Out”) jacks but no “Main-In,” you may connect the SA-2 to the “Pre-Out” without having to route the signal back into the receiver. Using an RCA interconnect cable, connect the “Pre-Out” to the SA-2’s LINE IN.

2a) If you have a separate preamplifier and amplifier, and the preamplifier has two pairs of “Line Out” jacks, connect one pair directly to your main amplifier, and the second pair to the SA-2’s LINE IN. If your preamplifier has only one pair of “Line Out” jacks, you may uti- lize two “Y”-splitters to send the line-level signal into both the main amplifier and the SA-2.

3)Many integrated amplifiers and receivers feature a “Subwoofer Out” jack. If your receiver’s “Subwoofer Out” consists of a single RCA jack, you may plug it into either the left or right LINE IN jack on the SA-2. Alternately, you may utilize a “Y”-splitter to split the line-level signal into both jacks.

3a) Check your receiver’s owner’s manual to see if the “Subwoofer Out” signal is full-range or low-pass filtered. A full range “subwoofer out” signal is preferred, however on many receivers the “Subwoofer Out” signal is low-pass filtered to cut out frequencies above a certain point (80Hz, for example), which means the signal coming out this jack has already passed through an internal crossover in the receiver. This can be problematic, because the signal will encounter further low-pass filtering when passing through the SA-2. If possible, bypass any low-pass filtering contained in the “Subwoofer Out” signal, as the SA-2 will provide greater flexibility of adjustment. If the receiver’s “subwoofer out” signal has a selectable low-pass filter, select the highest setting.

4)Connect the SA-2 SUBWOOFER OUTPUT to the SW2Si input terminals with speaker cable.

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.
