„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 test- ing and quality control at the factory to ensure you years of listening pleasure.

The SuperOne Ci is designed to deliver the sonic performance and value of NHT’s acclaimed SuperOne freestanding loudspeaker, while offering the invisibility of in-wall installation. Its custom-designed drive units are mounted in a rigid baffle/bezel assembly designed to minimize the audible effects of unwanted vibrations and resonance. 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 SuperOne Ci is the perfect solution for architectural audio and home theater installations.

Caution: The SuperOne 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 SuperOne Ci is designed for in-wall installation between stan- dard 2” x 4” wood studs. Installation in outdoor locations or in mois- ture-prone interior environments such as indoor swimming pools or saunas is not recommended.

Spend some time considering speaker placement prior to installing the SuperOne Ci. Once the speakers are installed, they are per- manent, so their location should be selected carefully. Mount the speakers in a location where they face the listening area without obstruction from furniture, and preferably at least three feet from fig.1 side walls. The speakers should be mounted on a flat surface to

ensure a good seal between the baffle 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

SuperOne Ci specifications

The NHT SuperOne Ci is an innovative and versatile loudspeaker designed to cater to the audio demands of home theater enthusiasts and audiophiles alike. Combining elegance with advanced technology, the SuperOne Ci is designed to deliver an unparalleled listening experience while seamlessly integrating into various environments, from contemporary living spaces to traditional setups.

One of the standout features of the NHT SuperOne Ci is its compact design. The speaker is engineered for a smaller footprint, making it ideal for users with limited space. Despite its size, it doesn’t compromise on sound quality. The SuperOne Ci is equipped with a 5.25-inch woofer, providing deep, resonant bass response. Accompanying this is a 1-inch soft dome tweeter that ensures clear and articulate high frequencies, allowing music and dialogue to shine through with remarkable clarity.

The SuperOne Ci utilizes a unique acoustic suspension design, which optimizes the speaker’s performance, delivering tight bass and a balanced tonal range. This feature is particularly beneficial in smaller rooms where excessive bass can lead to muddiness. The speaker also has a frequency response range that extends from 70 Hz to 30 kHz, ensuring it reproduces a wide array of sonic details, from subtle nuances to impactful soundscapes.

Moreover, the NHT SuperOne Ci is engineered with advanced materials for durability and performance. The cabinet is constructed from high-quality MDF to reduce resonance and unwanted vibrations, resulting in a clearer sound profile. The speaker’s finish options, including sleek black and sophisticated white, allow it to complement any décor seamlessly.

In terms of connectivity, the SuperOne Ci is designed for versatility. It can be easily integrated into existing home theater systems, making it perfect for both stereo and multi-channel setups. With its 8-ohm impedance, the speaker is compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, ensuring that users have flexibility no matter their audio source.

Lastly, NHT’s commitment to quality control and sound engineering is evident in the SuperOne Ci. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee consistent performance and reliability. This attention to detail makes the NHT SuperOne Ci not only a great entry point for listeners new to high-fidelity audio but also an exceptional choice for seasoned audiophiles seeking a compact speaker solution.
