the back of a receiver, integrated amplifier or power amplifier.

Midrange: The frequency span in the middle of the audio range, roughly 180Hz - 3000Hz. Also used to describe the driver that reproduces these frequencies.

Ohm: A unit of electrical resistance. That which opposes an electric current in a conductor. In audio, a measure of the load presented by a device to an electrical source.

Out-of-Phase:The polarity of an audio signal when con-

nected as follows: (+) to (-) and (-) to (+).

Passive: Uses no electrical power.

Phase: An expression of the relative polarities of two sig- nals.

Power Handling: The ability of a loudspeaker to operate without large increases in distortion when given varying amounts of input power.

Preamplifier: An electronic device that selects sources and passes line-level signals to an amplifier.

Pre-Out:A preamp line-level RCA output on the back of a receiver, integrated amplifier or preamplifier. Receiver: A preamplifier, amplifier and tuner built into one chassis.

Satellite: Front L & R speakers when used with a sub- woofer. Also referred to as "main speakers". Sensitivity: A ratio of voltage across the speaker load to the acoustic power output, measured in decibels.

Sub Out: An line level output for connection to a sub- woofer or subwoofer signal processor.

Subwoofer: A driver designed to operate over the low bass portion of the audio range. Also refers to a system consisting of a woofer and its enclosure, which are phys- ically separate from the upper range loudspeakers.

Surround Speakers: Speakers located in the side or rear for surround channel effects.

Treble: The upper part of the frequency spectrum, con- sisting of frequencies above about 3000Hz.

Tweeter: A small driver designed to reproduce high fre- quencies.

Watt: A measure of electrical power, combining the volt- age with the electrical current required to drive the loud- speaker.

Weight: Low frequencies below 50Hz.

Woofer: A driver designed to operate over the bass por- tion of the audio range.

Powered Subwoofers specifications

NHT (New Technology HiFi) powered subwoofers are renowned for their ability to provide deep, rich bass that complements any audio setup. As part of a complete home theater or music system, NHT subwoofers are designed to deliver precise sound reproduction with minimal distortion, enhancing overall listening experiences.

One of the notable features of NHT powered subwoofers is their built-in amplification. Unlike passive subwoofers that require an external amplifier, NHT subwoofers come equipped with high-quality, integrated amplifiers that are specifically tuned to match the driver components. This ensures optimal performance and efficient power usage, eliminating the need for additional equipment and simplifying setup.

NHT utilizes advanced driver technology in its subwoofers. The proprietary woofers are engineered for exceptional linearity and dynamic range, providing deep bass frequencies while remaining clear and undistorted even at higher volumes. This attention to detail in driver design allows NHT subwoofers to reproduce low-end frequencies with incredible accuracy, making them ideal for both music and cinematic soundtracks.

Another critical aspect of NHT powered subwoofers is their versatility in adjusting performance to fit individual preferences and room acoustics. Many models feature adjustable volume controls, phase controls, and low-pass filters. This allows users to customize the sound output to match the characteristics of their listening environment, whether it’s a small room or a larger home theater setup.

NHT subwoofers are also designed with aesthetic considerations in mind. They typically feature sleek, modern finishes that integrate seamlessly into various home decor styles. This design philosophy ensures that consumers do not have to compromise on aesthetics while enjoying high-quality audio performance.

Connectivity options are extensive in NHT powered subwoofers, accommodating various setups. They often include both line-level RCA inputs for traditional audio sources and high-level speaker inputs for connection to home theater receivers. This flexibility enhances their compatibility with a range of audio components.

Overall, NHT powered subwoofers embody a blend of innovative technology, user-friendly features, and aesthetic appeal. They offer music and movie enthusiasts the powerful bass response needed for immersive audio experiences, making them a solid choice for anyone looking to enhance their sound systems with superior low-frequency performance. With their emphasis on quality and performance, NHT subwoofers continue to be a popular selection among audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike.
