About the Harman Kardon Nova
Why choose between great looks and great sound when you can have both? With their rounded, see-through enclosures, Harman Kardon's Nova powered speakers have a sleek, modernist look that will attractively frame your laptop or desktop computer. And they deliver rich, detailed sound, whether connected to your audio source via a cable, or streaming wirelessly via Bluetooth.
High-performance design
Each Nova speaker features a 1-1/4" tweeter for detailed highs, a 2-1/2" driver for clear midrange, and a passive radiator to help reinforce the lows. Harman's proprietary digital signal processing ensures accurate, lifelike reproduction of your music.
Quick pairing with NFC
The system uses Bluetooth and has NFC (Near Field Communication) built-in. Just swipe your NFC-compatible smartphone or tablet close to the Nova speakers to pair and start streaming music right away. You can also pair the Novas with other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as a portable game console or laptop computer.
Plays well with others
The Nova speaker system can connect via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet. An optical digital input is great for connecting your flat-panel TV or receiver. And, of course, for most other sources, there's a simple analog stereo minijack input.

Features
2.0 Speaker System: Each Harman/Kardon Nova speaker features a 1.25" tweeter and 2.5" midrange driver powered by a 40-watt amplifier for full-range, stereo sound. In addition to the active drivers, each Nova speaker employs a 3.25" passive radiator and bass boost function for bigger bass sound. The H/K Nova speaker system incorporates Harman DSP to deliver improved depth of soundstage, along with better overall imaging.
Built-in Bluetooth: The Harman/Kardon Nova features built-in Bluetooth with A2DP wireless audio streaming, Secure Simple Pairing and Near Field Communication.
- Wireless Audio Streaming: Bluetooth A2DP allows you to wirelessly stream stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled device (such as your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/table, or computer/laptop) to the Nova speaker system. You will continue to navigate your music and view song/artist information from your Bluetooth-enabled device.
- SSP + NFC: With Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), you can easily pair a Bluetooth enabled phone to the H/K Nova without having to enter pin codes or go through complicated settings. Android (OS 4.0+) smartphones that have Near Field Communication (NFC) pair simply by touching the Android device's NFC tag to the speaker system's NFC tag. For older Android smartphones with OS 4.0 or lower, download the NFC Easy Connect app from Google Play to use the head unit's NFC pairing function. Once paired, the Nova will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33').
Analog + Digital Inputs: The Harman/Kardon Nova is fitted with a analog minijack (3.5mm) input and a digital optical (toslink) input for connecting external devices with analog or digital outputs, but don't offer wireless connectivity.
H/K Remote App: Downloading the free Harman/Kardon Remote app from the iTunes App store onto your Apple iOS (5.0+) device or from the Google Play Store onto your Android (2.2+) device lets you control the Nova speaker system from your smartphone or tablet device. You'll also be able to control your Apple iOS or Android device's stored music from the Harman/Kardon Remote app.
- Volume Control: You have control of the speaker system's volume level through the Harman/Kardon Remote app and your Apple iOS/Android device.
- Music Control: You can control all the music you have stored on your compatible Apple iOS/Android device through the H/K Remote app. You'll be able to search your music by Song, Artist, Album, Playlist, and Genre. You also get basic playback functions such as Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Repeat/Random. To access music apps, you'll need to exit the H/K Remote app and select your desired music app on your iOS or Android device.
AC Power: The Harman/Kardon Nova operates off of standard household current using the included AC power adapter and cord.
