NHT Expands Installation Options With In-Wall And On-Wall Models

29-Jan-04

NHT, the company that introduced the first in-wall subwoofer to fit between standard stud spacing, announced a new three-way in-wall speaker that offers similar installation flexibility, as well as a new lifestyle, multi-application speaker that is designed for both on-wall and bookshelf placement.ìProfessional installers constantly ask for products that require minimal reconstruction while offering true high-fidelity,î said Chris Byrne, General Manager of NHT. ìThe iWS in-wall sub that we introduced last September was met with accolades because it addressed both these essential and obvious needs. Similarly, the new iW4 expands in-wall speaker options by allowing installers to offer a true full-range speaker that comfortably fits either horizontally or vertically within existing stud spacing.îNHTís new iW4 (MSRP at $500 each) is based on a three-way design used in the companyís Evolution monitors, featuring two 5.25-inch woofers, a 2-inch aluminum dome midrange, and a 3/4-inch metal dome tweeter, mounted to an MDF baffle. Similar to the Evolution M5, the high output, low distortion iW4 can be placed vertically or horizontally with similar, wide dispersion in either orientation. Frequency response is 45 Hz to 20 kHz, sensitivity is rated at 86dB, 1 Watt at 1 meter, and maximum power handling is 200 Watts. The injection-molded frame measures 16 x 8 x 3.25 (in inches--H/W/D).PAT: On-Wall/On-ShelfNHTís newest lifestyle loudspeaker is the highly flexible and intentionally indefinable PAT (MSRP at $150 each), featuring an extruded aluminum cabinet that can be placed on a wall or on a shelf, either horizontally or vertically, without affecting dispersion and overall sonics. PAT is designed to complement modern home audio systems, from surrounding a flat panel display to component stereo or distributed audio applications. No matter how it is placed, PAT presents a full-range, transparent soundfield that is a hallmark of NHT speakers. PAT measures 11 x 7.7 x 5.6 (in inches--HWD), and weighs 8 lbs. Frequency response is 80 Hz to 20 kHz, and sensitivity is rated at 85dB, 1 Watt at 1 meter, and maximum power handling is 100 watts.For more information, please visit www.nhthifi.com.
