„Design

NHT loudspeakers are designed to deliver refined, musical sound from attractive and affordable packages. Our efforts are guided by the study of human hearing and are optimized for real-world use. Every NHT speaker undergoes rigorous testing and quality control at the factory to ensure you years of listening pleasure.

The NHT 6.2 Ci's custom-designed drive units are mounted in a rigid baffle/bezel assembly designed to minimize the audible effects of unwanted vibrations and resonance. The baffle is ¾" MDF, the same material used in high quality box speakers. It is separated from the bezel by absorptive materials designed to prevent the coloration of critical midrange frequencies caused by wall vibration. The mounting assembly is designed to be intuitive and flexible, making it ideal for new or existing construction. With high performance sonics and a paintable face, the 6.2 Ci is the perfect solution for architectural audio and home theater installations.

Caution: The 6.2 Ci should be installed by an experienced and licensed custom installation professional. Be sure that the installer possesses sufficient skill, the proper tools, knowledge of local fire and building codes, and a familiarity with the structure of the building (especially wall and/or ceiling materials, layouts, electrical and plumbing lines, etc.).

„Placement

The 6.2 Ci is designed for in-wall installation, oriented vertically between standard 2" x 4" wood studs. Installation in outdoor locations or in moisture-prone interior environments such as indoor swimming pools or saunas is not recommended.

Spend some time considering speaker placement prior to installing the 6.2 Ci. Once the speakers are installed, they are permanent, so their location should be selected carefully. Mount the speakers in a location where they face the listening area without obstruction from furniture, and are preferably at least three feet from side walls. The

speakers should be mounted on a flat surface to ensure a good seal fig.1 between the bezel and the mounting surface. For optimal imaging,

position the speakers so that the distance between the listening position and the wall is 1.5 times the distance between the two speakers (fig.1). If possible, position the speakers so that the aver- age ear height of the listeners in the room falls between the center of
