About the NHT Classic TwoC

Kristen Schaub

Designed for an enveloping front soundstage

Like all Classic Series speakers, the Classic TwoC features an acoustic suspension (sealed) enclosure design. This means it uses air — nature's most perfect spring force — to control the woofer motion, allowing for clean midrange and low distortion. It provides plenty of strength to let the dual 5-1/4" aluminum woofers rock out without adding any unwanted resonance to your movie soundtracks and music. The sophisticated 3/4" aluminum dome tweeter sits above a 2" aluminum dome midrange. These two drivers are set in a tiny bezel that allows them to be placed very close together. The result is exceptionally even on- and off-axis response, so everyone in the room can enjoy the clear, sparkling sound.

Designed for an enveloping front soundstage

NHT's Classic TwoC goes above and beyond most other center channel speakers. It features not two, not three, but four separate drivers to ensure that you hear every syllable spoken and every note played in your movies and TV shows. At the center of the Classic TwoC sits a tweeter and midrange pair, surround by dual woofers. This arrangement helps produce crisp, engaging sound with excellent dispersion from the top down and from side to side. It'll easily fill any small- to medium-sized room with realistic movie dialogue and special effects that will delight everyone on your couch.


Solid design keeps sound-muddying vibrations at bay

Classic looks help create a Classic system

This speaker features a beautiful, curvaceous cabinet made of very dense, rigid MDF. It's covered in eight layers of high-gloss paint and two layers of clear coat that are hand-polished between each layer for lasting beauty. Place the Classic TwoC on the included aluminum rails and set it below your TV. It's magnetically shielded, so you can safely use it next to older tube TVs.

The Classic TwoC is perfectly matched to the rest of the Classic line, so you can create a high-end audio system to meet your needs. It pairs perfectly with a set of Classic Two bookshelf speakers or Classic Three bookshelf speakersall around your room for a stunning surround sound system. And don't forget to add one of NHT's B-10d or B-12d subwoofers for room-thumping bass.

Driver Technology

Wide Sound Dispersion: The NHT Classic Two C center-channel loudspeaker offers wide sound dispersion in both the horizontal and vertical planes. This means consistent tonality and good detail virtually anywhere the listener is seated.

3-Way Design: The NHT Classic Two C center-channel loudspeaker employs 3-way speaker design. The Two C features dual 5.25" long-throw anodized aluminum cone woofers that are housed in NHT designed BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) frames that offers very low resonance. These two woofers flank a proprietary 0.75" anodized aluminum dome tweeter and 2.0"anodized aluminum dome mid-range. The use of 4 drivers in the Two C reduces distortion caused by power compression, because the load is spread over multiple drivers.

Tweeter/Midrange Module: The tweeter & midrange are built into a single compact module. The clustered drivers acoustically act as one providing very smooth response. This compact array keeps all of the drivers in close proximity to each other improving phase (multi-driver timing) coherence. Another benefit of the tweeter/midrange module is its low height allowing NHT to offer maximum performance in a very low profile cabinet.

Acoustical Waveguide: The Classic Two C's tweeter & midrange utilize an acoustical waveguide to deliver, more even high frequency response, no matter what part of the room you're in.

Foam Insert: The NHT Classic Two C includes an unusually shaped piece of foam with an adhesive backing. The purpose of this foam is to reduce unwanted reflections caused by interaction between the tweeter and midrange drivers. To get the best performance from the NHT Classic Two C, install this foam part between the speaker's tweeter and midrange drivers.

Crossover Network: The Two C uses a sophisticated 2nd & 3rd order crossover that were developed using computer (and human ear) aided design to carefully split the frequencies between the woofer, midrange, and tweeter at just the right spot.

  • 2nd order low pass & high pass at 800Hz
  • 3rd order high pass & low pass at 3.2kHz.

Voice Matched: All Classic Series speakers share a similar "voice" or tonality so that you are assured a matched system no matter which Classic model speaker you decide to add as you build your system.

Enclosure Design

Acoustic Suspension: The NHT Classic Two C center-channel loudspeaker features an Acoustic suspension design (sealed enclosure with no ports or holes in the cabinet). The NHT Classic Two C uses the air that is trapped in the cabinet to control and damp the woofer cone motion. The benefits of an acoustic suspension cabinet design include -

  • tight, accurate bass
  • smooth, natural midrange
  • low distortion
  • high power handling
  • smooth bass rolloff (an important benefit when blending speakers with a powered subwoofer seamlessly)

MDF Cabinet: The NHT Classic Two C's cabinet and front baffle is constructed from MDF. Additional internal bracing ensures low resonance. the Two C's cabinet is made with a CNC-milled 21mm MDF front baffle and 15mmMDF for the sides and extensive internal bracing for rigidity and resonance control.

Curved Side-Panels: The cabinet's curved side panels help to randomize internal standing waves, which improves overall sound quality.

High-Gloss Black Finish: A hand-painted finish with 2 primer coats, 7 color coats, and 2 clear coats producing a beautiful piano quality high-gloss, black finish.

Detachable Grille: The speaker comes with a removable black cloth grille with a rigid plastic frame.

Connections

Way Binding Posts: The center-channel loudspeaker is equipped with one pair of sturdy nickel-plated 5-way binding posts to ensure a secure connection to many types of speaker cables and connectors. The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (dual/single), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and bare wire (16-12 gauge).

Color-Coded: The 5-way binding post terminals are color-coded so you can easily indentify positive (red) and negative (black).

Mounting Options

Placement: The NHT Two C center-channel is meant to be placed horizontally. Ideally the center channel should be placed immediately above or below the television, in as close proximity as possible. The Two C is perfect for small to medium size rooms.

Feet Rails:  The NHT Two C comes with two preinstalled aluminum rails with butyl rubber inserts which offer an acoustically optimal and handsome shelf placement solution without the need for additional feet, cones, or other isolation devices.

Wall Mounting (optional): The optional PinPoint AM15B Center Channel Wall-Mount Bracket (121AM15B, sold separately) allows you to hang the NHT Two C on your wall.
