NHT SA-2 - Manual (Page 16)

This connection method may be employed if your receiver has no line-level preamplifier output. The speakers and the SA-2 are con-
nected in parallel off the receiver’s speaker output terminals. If your receiver has two sets of speaker output terminals (“Speaker A” and
“Speaker B”), you may connect the speakers directly from “Speaker A” and connect the SA-2 from “Speaker B”.
1) Remove the binding post jumper straps from the tower speaker (VERY IMPORTANT!).
2) Run speaker cables from the receiver’s speaker output terminals to the tower speakers’ upper pairs of binding posts.
3) Run a second pair of speaker cables from the receiver’s speaker output terminals to the SA-2’s INPUT FROM AMPLIFIER barrier
strip terminal. If the receiver has two sets of speaker output terminals, connect the tower speakers from “Speaker A” and the SA-2 from
“Speaker B.” However, if the receiver has only one set of speaker output terminals, connect both pairs of speaker cables in parallel from
the same terminal.
4) Run two pairs of speaker cables from the SA-2’s SUBWOOFER OUTPUT to the tower speakers’ lower pairs of binding posts (both
speakers). Since there is only one SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal on the SA-2, connect both speaker cables to the single terminal.
Do not use the SA-2’s OUTPUT TO SATELLITES barrier strip terminal.
