NHT 6.2 Ci - Manual (Page 3)

the tweeter and the center of the bottom-most woofer. To get an idea how the speakers will look in the room, try taping
the supplied cutout templates to the wall.
Keep in mind that room furnishings play an important role in absorbing and reflecting sound waves. Midrange and high
frequencies in particular will be absorbed by soft furnishings such as sofas, carpets and curtains. A large number of these
soft furnishings will dull the sound, while a "live" room with few furnishings will brighten the sound. You can adjust the
sound of the speakers in your room by adding or removing soft wall hangings, curtains and furniture to achieve the sound
that you desire.
As the 6.2 Ci is not magnetically shielded, do not install
it in a location where it will be within 12" of a television.
Unshielded magnets placed in close proximity to a
television screen can cause picture discoloration and
eventually damage the picture tube. When installing
three 6.2 Ci's for front channels in a home theater
system, you can position the L & R speakers farther apart
to create a wider soundstage. When installing a 6.2 Ci
as a center channel speaker, it should be installed at
least 12" directly above or below the location where the
television will be. Mounting the 6.2Ci in a horizontal ori-
entation for center channel use is possible, but is not rec-
ommended.

Tech Tips: Pre-Wiring for New Construction
1. For best results, avoid running speaker cable near electrical wire, as it may induce a 60Hz hum in the audio signal. It’s a
good idea to run the speaker cable after the electrical wiring has already been completed, so that you can route the speaker
cable at least three feet away from the electrical wiring. If speaker cable and electrical wiring must run parallel, install the cable
within a metal conduit. Note that low-voltage wiring (doorbell, intercom, telephone, security, etc.) are unlikely to induce hum and
can typically be run parallel to speaker cable with no detrimental effects.
2. When drilling holes through wall studs or ceiling joists, use a drill bit that is at least as wide as the speaker cable that will be
routed through them. Always drill through the center of the stud or joist. If the hole must be drilled within one inch of the edge
of a wall stud, add a nail plate to the drywall side to protect the cable from possible nails and screws put in the wall later. Line
up the holes in the studs or joists as you go, so that pulling the cable through them will be easier.

Note: The foam baffle material supplied with your 6.2 Ci loudspeaker is Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) flame class 94 HF-1 rated. The foam material itself carries a UL file
number E105037. However, the foam as an enclosure has no UL file number. It is the
users/buyers/installer's responsibility to be aware of any state, city or local codes that
may apply to this type of installation. Recoton expressly disclaims any and all responsi-
