Connections
Before connecting your Classic speakers to your receiver/amplifier, turn off the AC
power to avoid potential damage to your components.

Take a look at the terminals on the back of your speakers. They can accept raw
wire, banana plugs or spade lugs. Note that these terminals should be tightened
only by hand, as excess force can break them. We recommend your speaker wire
be at least 16 gauge. Your NHT dealer can recommend the correct wire. Use the
same length of wire for each channel.

Prepare the wires by stripping ¼" - 3/8" of insulation from the ends and tightly
twist the exposed strands.

Finally, connect your speakers to your amplifier or receiver, making sure that the
speakers are "in phase,” that is, the same half of the wire pair connected to the
Positive terminal (+, usually red) on both the amplifier and the speaker. The other
half of the same wire connected to the Negative (-, usually black) terminals on
both amplifier and speaker.

Most speaker wire has one half of the pair marked with either lettering, ridges, the
"+" sign or color to help you make the proper connections.

Before powering up your receiver/amplifier, make sure there are no stray strands
from one terminal touching the other terminals. Also, try to keep speaker wires
from laying across AC power cords.

Operation
All NHT Classic speakers are compatible with most amplifier power ranges and
are designed to handle a wide range of listening levels. Every speaker, however,
has limits and it is important to listen for them. Speaker damage most often
occurs from sustained high volume levels in some or all frequencies. Try to avoid
excessive bass or treble settings or equalizer boosts.

The best tool you have is your ears. If you hear unusual distortion or breakup,
decrease the volume immediately. If you are unsure, place your hand close the
woofer. If you feel heat radiating from the driver, you are playing the system
beyond its limits.
