1.Begin by installing the mounting bracket between adjacent studs. The SuperOne Ci performs best in the vertical orientation. Be sure to mount the bracket in the appropriate direction so that the tweeter is at the top. Attach the mounting wings to the bracket by inserting them into the locking plastic tabs in the side of the bracket (fig.2).

2.Select the desired location for the speaker, using a level to ensure that it is precisely positioned. The wings feature progressively elongated sections (1”, 1”, 2”, 2”, 2”, 3”, 3”) with screw holes spaced in one-inch increments. Attach the wings to the studs with the

5x 50mm flathead screws. For maximum stability, use two screws for each wing. Break off the extra portion of the wing by snapping it at one of the pre-molded “break” lines (fig.3).

3.Complete the pre-wiring before the drywall goes up (see “Tech Tips: Pre-Wiring for New Construction”). Leave an extra few feet of speaker cable, and secure it to the cable tie on the mounting bracket (fig.4).

4.During the drywall phase, cut a hole 12-1/8” high by 8” wide around the bracket. The bezel outer frame will extrude out about 1 inch beyond the perimeter of the cutout to hide minor imperfections in the cutout.

5.If the SuperOne Ci bezel frame and grille are to be painted in the wall, paint now before installing the baffle (see “Painting”).

6.After the drywall is complete, attach the bezel to the bracket with six 4 x 16mm flat- head screws that line up with the six raised bosses on the bracket (fig.5). If the frame is not installed in the proper orientation, all six screw holes will not line up. Tighten screws snugly, making sure not to over-tighten, as this may compromise the fit of the bezel. The use of power screwdrivers is not recommended. The absorptive strips on the back of the bezel’s outer frame reduce unwanted vibrations and will compress slightly to allow the frame to rest flush against the wall on all four sides. When installed correctly, the brack- et and bezel “sandwich” the drywall.

7.Connect the speaker cable to the spring posts on the SuperOne Ci baffle, making sure to observe correct polarity (see “Connections”).

8.Place one of the large foam isolators in each of the six raised bosses on the bezel. Place one of the small foam isolators in each of the 6 holes on the front surface of the baffle. Put the baffle into the bezel so the holes on the baffle line up with the holes in the center of the raised bosses on the bezel (fig. 6). Push one of the 4 x 16mm screws through a hole on the baffle and into the hole on the bezel and tighten it by hand so that the baffle and the bezel stay together. Insert the remaining screws, then tighten all of them snugly, making sure not to overtighten, as this may compromise the fit of the baf- fle. The use of power screwdrivers is not recommended. Exersize caution not to damage the drivers when inserting the screws.

9.Attach the metal grille by inserting it into the grooves in the baffle.

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.
