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 CS-6.1 Ci and CS-6.3 Ci are designed to deliver the sonics and value of NHT’s acclaimed freestanding speakers, while offering the invisibility of in-ceiling installation. The drive units are custom-designed to achieve a level of performance not normally associated with in-ceiling speakers, while its intuitive mounting system makes it ideal for new or existing construction. The CS-6.1 Ci features one coaxially mounted tweeter, while the CS-6.3 Ci employs NHT’s innovative three- tweeter array for more even sound dispersion to a wider range of listening areas.
Caution: The CS-6.1 Ci and CS-6.3 Ci should be installed by an experienced and licensed custom installation profes- sional. 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.).

When possible, locate the speakers at least 3 feet from adjacent side walls. The speakers should be mounted on a flat surface to ensure a good seal between the baffle and the mounting surface. When possible, position the speakers so that they are equidistant from the most likely listening area. If the CS-6.1 Ci or
