Finally, connect the speaker to your amplifier or receiver,
connecting the conductors "in-phase" (+ to + and - to -).
You'll see that your speaker wires have some sort of
marking -- lettering, ridges, or color difference -- to help
you properly wire your speaker in phase.

Before powering up your amplifier or receiver, separate
different kinds of cables to minimize noise. Keep
speaker wires at the maximum practical distance from
line-level, digital, and power cables, and if they must
cross, keep them at right angles.

Operation
The NHT SC2 is compatible with virtually all quality
amplifiers, and is designed to handle a wide range of
listening levels.
However, every speaker has limits, and it's important to
listen for them. Speaker damage most often results not
from brief loud musical peaks, but from sustained high
volume levels in some or all frequencies. For this
reason, extreme volume settings and excessive bass,
treble or equalizer boosts are not recommended.

bottom corners. These five slip-resistant contact points
should allow you to place the SC2 in a flush and angled
position on most TV's without scratching or endangering
either speaker or TV. As in all component placement,
however, review safety and stability before considering
your system setup complete.
If you hear unusual distortion or breakup, or notice heat
coming from either your woofer or tweeter, decrease the
volume immediately, neutralize any excess bass, treble
or equalizer boosts, and avoid setting any controls to
similar extremes again.
Connections
Maintenance
Before connecting the SC2 loudspeaker to your system,
turn off the power to your amplifier/receiver to avoid
damaging the components or the speaker.
Your speaker requires no or minimal maintenance under
normal use, as long as you avoid exposing it to direct
sunlight, high temperatures, or moisture. Clean the
cabinet, when necessary, using a damp cloth or a mild,
non-abrasive cleaner. To clean the grille, remove it from
the speaker and use a soft brush or a vacuum on its

back of your speaker. They accept raw wire, banana
plugs or spade plugs. Note that nuts should be tightened
by hand, since pliers can strip or break them.

drivers.

Next, choose your speaker wire. Like all wire, speaker
wire is rated by a gauge number representing how many
fit in an inch-thick tube, so the numbers get smaller as
the wire gets thicker. Thicker wire transmits signal more
easily. We recommend 16-gauge for shorter runs, and
thicker for runs longer than 10 feet (your authorized NHT
dealer can help with wire). Equal lengths of wire for all
speakers is ideal, but not absolutely necessary.
Satisfaction
Your satisfaction with your new NHT SC2 loudspeaker is
important to us. Please note the warranty, printed on the
back of this manual. And again, if you have any
questions regarding your speakers' use, feel free to call

Prepare the wires by stripping 1/4" to 3/8" of insulation
from the ends, tightly twisting the exposed wire strands.
