CAUTION: Some of the
Evolution product is
heavy. We recommend
you enlist help in
unpacking, assembling
and moving the larger
speaker components.
Note: If possible, we recommend that you store
the shipping cartons and packing material in
case the system needs to be moved in the
future.
open flaps
The cartons for all tower speaker components
and assembly kits are color coded. The print on
the 5 series cartons (M5, B5, K5, P5) is red; the
print on the 6 series cartons (M6, B6, K6, P6) is
blue. All other Evolution product cartons use
black print.
2.1 Unpacking
We suggest you use an open area to unpack
and assemble your system, particularly if you
purchased a tower system. Remember, all
Evolution speaker components are finished in
fine lacquer. To avoid damage, assemble the
speakers on a soft surface, e.g. a carpet or blanket.
Take care in unpacking your NHT products to
avoid marring the cabinets. It's best to use gravity to your advantage. Open each carton as
shown, gently turning it upside down and pulling
the carton up and off of the speaker. Remove
the protective end caps, plastic bag and the
micro-foam. Avoid putting your hands directly
on the speaker drivers as they can be damaged
if handled roughly.
Once you have everything unpacked, inspect
and familiarize yourself with the contents. There
is a complete parts list for each product carton in
the next section.

3.0 Speaker Placement
Now is a good time to finalize your plans for
speaker placement. This section outlines the
important issues to consider in configuring your
system for optimum performance.
The M5 and M6 monitors are designed to perform almost identically whether placed horizontally or vertically. Below are some fundamental
guidelines on Monitor orientation:
1)
You do not need to “toe-in” the monitors
toward the listening area; position them facing
straight ahead into the room, perpendicular to
the wall in behind the speaker.
2)
When oriented vertically, the tweeters
should be placed inward as shown below.
the monitor is placed above the listener’s ear,
the tweeter should be below the midrange driver
as shown in the photo. If the monitor is placed
below the listener’s ear, the tweeter should
above the midrange driver.
Once you have determined how you will orient
your monitors, examine the terminal plate on the
back of your Evolution Monitor. You will find a
Boundary Switch on the plate that is used to
adjust the speaker’s response based on its
placement. If you intend to place the monitor in
a cabinet, on a shelf, on top of a television set or
against a wall, move the boundary switch to the
“1” position. If the monitor is two feet or more
from any surface described above, the switch
should be in the “0” position. If the Monitor is
used as part of a T5 or T6 Tower system, the
Boundary Switch should generally be in the “0”
position. If the Tower system is placed very
close to a corner, set the switch to the “1” position.
3)
When using the M5 or M6 monitor for a
center channel, it should be placed horizontally.
4)
When Evolution monitors are placed horizontally in a cabinet, the tweeter orientation (top
or bottom) depends on the placement height. If
Note: The terminal plate comes from the factory oriented for horizontal placement. This allows
speaker wire to hang down neatly from the
speaker. The terminal plate should be rotated
for vertical use. Instructions for rotating the cup
can be found in section 4.2.
An explanation of the technology behind the
guidelines described above can be found in section 11 of this manual.
3.1 Two Channel Stereo
Subwoofer
Center Channel
The diagram below illustrates the desired monitor and subwoofer placement for two channel
(stereo) listening. If you are not using an
Evolution tower or pedestal and are orienting
the monitors vertically, try to place the M5 or M6
so the tweeters are at or near ear level.

5.1 Digital Surround
The diagrams below illustrate two options for
positioning your speakers in a 5.1 surround system. The first option is ideal, assuming you
have sufficient space to place the front and rear
channel speakers equidistant from the listening
position.
If you are primarily listening from a position near
or against a rear wall as shown in the next illustration, you can place the rear channel monitors
to the sides.
Surround processors and
receivers have adjustable delay settings that
allow you to equalize the arrival times for the
rear channels.
Refer to your Surround
Processor/AV Receiver manual to find the correct delay setting.
We realize it may be impossible to arrange your
room to accommodate the ideal surround setup.
Because every home is unique, we suggest you
consult your authorized NHT dealer for alternative placement advice or call our Customer
Hotline at 1-800-NHT-9993 (648-9993).

Enhanced Digital Surround Formats
Subwoofer
Center Channel
Different surround formats use different numbers of surround speakers. 5.1 systems use two
surround speakers, 6.1 systems use three and
7.1 systems use four. Some AV receivers and
separate Surround Processors are equipped
with 6.1 or 7.1 surround formats. 6.1 refers to
the Dolby Digital Surround EX ™ or DTS
Surround ES ™ standard. The diagrams below
illustrate the suggested positions for 6.1 and 7.1
systems.

3.4 Center Channel
3.5 Subwoofers
The M5 and M6 monitors can be placed in a
home entertainment center or directly on top of
a TV as shown below. Remember, for proper
center channel sound dispersion, the Monitor
should be placed horizontally.
Subwoofers produce low frequencies that have
long wavelengths. These wavelengths are similar to the dimensions of the room, so the sound
energy strongly interacts with the room boundaries. Fortunately, Evolution’s flexible subwoofer options, combined with the X1 active
crossover, solve most of the acoustic problems
caused by room interaction with bass frequencies. Experimenting with subwoofer location is
the key to finding the best performance in your
listening environment. Position a subwoofer
cabinet so that its driver(s) are not directly
against a wall or piece of furniture. If you are
using two subwoofers, some improvement in
low frequency response can be achieved by
placing the second subwoofer asymmetrically in
the room.

If you intend to place your center channel on a
television with a shallow top so that the Monitor
overhangs the television as illustrated below,
you will need to attach the included Third Foot
for proper support (see Section 4.2 for detailed
instructions).

Note: Because of the massive motor structure
used in the Evolution subwoofer driver, it is not
possible to magnetically shield it. Make sure
you place the subwoofer at least 18” from any
television to avoid discoloration.
Evolution freestanding subwoofers offer tremendous flexibility in placement. The following suggestions illustrate a few of the possibilities available to you. If you have a unique placement
requirement or intend to use multiple subwoofer
systems, consult your authorized NHT dealer or
call our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800NHT-9993 for advice.
U2 Subwoofer System: The compact, front-firing, dual cabinets in the U2 system can be conveniently placed near corners , or placed in cabinets as illustrated below.
W1

3.6 Electronics
U1 Subwoofer System: The U1 subwoofer
enclosure is a dual, side-firing design. If the U1
is going to be located in a corner or against a
wall, we recommend that you keep the face with
the grille at least 4” from any boundary to obtain
optimum performance.
Evolution electronics should be placed with the
rest of your electronic components. Both the A1
amplifier and the X1 Active Crossover can be
rack mounted if desired. Instructions for rack
mounting can be found in section 9.3 of this
manual.
4.0 System Assembly
This section covers the assembly required for
specific Evolution product configurations. The
operations are simple and easy to accomplish
quickly.
4.1 Supplies and tools
screwdriver. Gently pull the Terminal Plate
away from the cabinet and rotate it 90 degrees
so that the Boundary Switch is at the top.
Reinstall the screws in the pilot holes as shown.
Make sure the screws are snug, but be careful
not to over tighten them.
Remove Screws
The tools you will need are:
- Combination #2/#3 Phillips screwdriver (provided in your Owner’s Kit)
- NHT binding post wrench (provided)
- Wire strippers
- Speaker wire (10 to 14 gauge)
- Tape measure or ruler
CAUTION: Some of the Evolution components
are heavy. If possible, have someone available
to assist you during assembly and placement of
the tower and/or subwoofer modules.
4.2
Rotate Terminal Plate
Monitor Parts Assembly
Step 1: Terminal Plate Orientation
The M5 and M6 are delivered with the Terminal
Plate oriented for horizontal monitor placement.
For vertical monitor placement, the Terminals
should be rotated so that the speaker wire
hangs straight down the rear of the speaker.
Place the monitor on a soft surface in the
desired orientation. See section 3.0 for illustration of proper tweeter orientation. DO NOT lay
the front baffle of the Monitor down on any surface, as this will damage the drivers.
Remove the four screws from the Terminal Plate
on the back of the Monitor with the supplied #2
Reinstall Screws
Step 2: NHT Third Foot for Center Channel Use
The M5 and M6 cartons include a “Third Foot”,
a support that stabilizes the monitor when it is
mounted on a television. If the top of the television is shallower than the Monitor is deep, the
rear of the Monitor will not be fully supported.
The Third Foot will provide the necessary support in this case. The Third Foot can also be
used to aim the Monitor down towards the listening area if the television is significantly above
eye level.
There are two parts supplied with the Third Foot
for assembly: (2) plastic washers and (2) thumbscrews. The plastic washers go between the
Third Foot and the cabinet to protect the cabinet’s lacquer finish. Assemble these parts as
shown and screw the two thumbscrews partially
into the two threaded holes next to the terminal
plate.
Attach the two rubber feet about an inch from
the bottom front edge of the monitor. Set the
monitor on the television and adjust the length of
Television
the third foot so that it rests on the TV set as
shown. Hand tighten the thumbscrews.
Step 3: Logo Placement
The M5 and M6 are supplied with a metal NHT
logo that can be attached to the grilles when the
speakers are placed in the vertical position only.
The logo should be attached at the bottom of the
grille. To attach the logo, hold the grille up to a
light to locate the two holes in the frame through
the cloth. Line up the two posts on the back of
the logo with the holes and press the logo firmly
through the cloth and into the grille frame until it
is fully seated against the grille.
Note: The logo badge is not attachable when
the speaker is placed horizontally.
Step5: Attaching Monitor Grilles
The M5 and M6 are designed to sound the best
when the grilles are used (they may sound
slightly bright if played without the grilles). To
install them, line up the four pins on the back of
the grille with the four rubber cups located in the
corners of the Monitor’s front baffle. Firmly press
all four corners of the grille until the pins seat
against the rubber cups.
Note: The M5 and M6 grilles are intentionally
curved. The grille curve is a design element that
completes a larger curve when a Monitor is
attached to a B5/B6 subwoofer module or either
pedestal stand. The curve is shallow enough
that it may go unnoticed when the monitors are
placed on shelves. The illustration to the right
shows how an Evolution tower looks when the
grille is installed.
4.3
T5 and T6 Tower Assembly
Depending on which model you purchased, you
will now need the parts contained in either the
K5 or K6 assembly kit.
Note: If you intend to use spikes with the stabilizers, do not install them at this time. The towers are difficult to move once the spikes are in
place. Spike installation is covered in Step 9.
Step 1: Installing the Stabilizer Bars
Step 2: Adhering the Rubber Feet
The aluminum bars attach to the bottom of the
bass module to provide stability for the tower
system. Carefully turn the B5 or B6 bass module upside down on a soft surface. There are
four threaded holes on the bottom of the cabinet. Gently place the stabilizer bars over the
threaded holes. Start the four large (1/4-20)
screws by hand. Once all the bolts are started,
tighten them with the supplied #3 Phillips screwdriver.
Once the stabilizers are mounted, carefully turn
the bass module upright. Peel the paper cover
off the back of the two round rubber feet and
attach them to the top front of the B5 or B6.
There are slight indentations on the cabinet to
help you position the rubber feet properly.
.
Step 3:
Harness
Attaching the Monitor Connection
The Monitor Connection Harness connects the
Monitor’s speaker terminals to the terminal cup
on top of the subwoofer module. This terminal
cup is internally wired to the uppermost of the
two terminal cups at the bottom rear of the subwoofer module. Remove the two gold-plated
screws from the terminal cup on the top of the
B5 or B6 with the #2 screwdriver. Insert the ring
terminal ends of the cable onto the screws and
fasten them into the terminal cup. Check that
the wire is oriented vertically and that you have
connected the red ring terminal to the bass module terminal marked in red (and the black ring
terminal to the bass module terminal marked
with black).
Step 5: Route Monitor Connection Harness
Step 4: Installing the Mounting Buttress
The mounting buttress secures the monitor to
the bass module. Place the buttress over the
four threaded holes on the top of the bass module. Start four of the smaller screws (10-24) with
the #2 screwdriver. Center the buttress by measuring the distance between the base of the buttress and the speakers’ edge in a few places as
illustrated. Once you have checked alignment
you may tighten the screws, making sure they
are snug, but do not over tighten them.
Route the harness through the channel inside
the buttress as shown below.
Step 6: Bass Module Orientation
Step 7: Mounting a Monitor to the Bass Module
At this point you need to decide in which orientation to place the subwoofers. There are two
options, woofers facing inwards or outwards as
shown in the illustration.
Place the monitor on the buttress as shown.
The front of the monitor should be resting on the
round rubber feet. Line up the threaded holes in
the back of the monitor with the holes in the buttress. Fasten the monitor to the buttress with
three small (10-24) screws using the #2 screwdriver. Start the center screw first, and then start
the outer screws. Make sure that the Monitor
Connection Harness extends from the top of the
buttress as illustrated below.
If there is going to be a large object located
between the towers (a television or large piece
of furniture), place the subwoofer modules so
that the woofers face to the outside (away from
the television). If there are no large objects
between the towers, orient the subwoofers so
that the woofers face to the inside (towards each
other). Remember that the subwoofer modules
should be at least 18” from the sides of a television to prevent discoloration of the screen.
Step 8: Connecting the Monitor Connection
Harness to the Monitor
Loosen the nuts on the binding post terminals
enough to allow the spade terminals on the
Harness to fit under them. Make sure you
match wire colors for proper polarity, (red to red,
black to black). The cable should lay flat against
the back of the monitor. Tighten the terminal
nuts using the NHT wrench.
Step 9: Install spikes (optional)
Spikes couple the speaker to the floor, improving the performance of the system.
Note: Position the speakers in their permanent
location before installing the spikes. It is very difficult to move the
assembled speakers
once the spikes are in
place. We suggest
two people for this
operation, one to hold
the speaker and the
other to install and
adjust the spikes.
Install the locking nuts
on
the
threaded
spikes and screw
them all the way down
the shaft until they
stop. Carefully tilt the tower speaker to one side
and screw the metal spikes into the bottom of
the front and rear aluminum stabilizer bars (at
least 3/8”) to the desired height. Hand tighten
the nut to lock it in position. When both sides
are installed, check to ensure that the speaker
does not rock. If necessary, tilt the speaker,
loosen the nut and adjust the height until the
speaker rests firmly on all four spikes. You can
use a small wrench to further tighten the nuts.
Be aware that wood or tile floors can be damaged by the spike’s sharp tip. Four small metal
cups are included with the tower assembly kit to
fit under each spike and protect your floors.
Once the spikes have been mounted to the stabilizer bar, slip a cup under each spike as you
gently lower the tower to the floor.
4.4 Assembling Monitors On Pedestals
Step 3: Install Metal Mounting Plate
Step 1: Install Aluminum Stabilizer Bars
Begin by attaching the metal mounting plate to
the pedestal base with two of the small (10-24)
screws and the #2 Phillips screwdriver. Note
that the notch in the metal plate should be facing downwards. Do not tighten them all the way
until the monitor is in position.
Carefully turn the P5 or P6 bass module upside
down on a soft surface, being careful not to
scratch the paint. Find the four threaded holes
on the bottom of the pedestal. Gently place the
stabilizer bars over the threaded holes. Start the
four large (1/4-20) screws by hand. Once they
have been started, tighten them with the #3
Phillips screwdriver.
Step 2: Attaching Rubber Feet
Attach the four round rubber feet to the top of
the pedestal. Peel the paper backer from each
foot, and press them into the shallow indentations on the cabinet surface.
Gently place the Monitor on the pedestal top
with its back against the mounting plate. Make
sure that you have determined the proper tweeter orientation (see Section 3). Start the three
small screws (10-24) through the mounting plate
and into the threaded holes in the back of the
Monitor. Tighten all five screws until snug.
Gently place the monitor on the pedestal top
with back against the mounting plate. Make
sure that you have the proper tweeter orientation (see Section 3). Start 3 smaller bolts (1024) through the mounting plate and into the
threaded holes in the back of the monitor.
Tighten all five bolts until snug.
Step 4: Install Wire Channel Assembly
The wire channel assembly for the P5 and P6
pedestals neatly routes the speaker wire down
the back of the pedestal. It consists of two plastic U shaped brackets, one plastic channel and
four 6-3/4 screws.
ends of the wire channel. These recesses
should face each other when the channel is
installed. There are small pilot holes in the rear
of the pedestal to accept the 6-3/4 bracket
screws. Fasten the channel to the pedestal with
the brackets and the four screws as shown.
Step 5: Install Spikes (optional)
To install, first strip ½” ¾” of insulation from
the ends of your speaker wire and connect
them to the monitor’s
binding post by loosening the binding post
nuts and slipping the
wire into the hole
behind
each
nut.
Tighten the nuts with
your NHT wrench.
Remember to check for
the correct polarity (see
section 5.3 and 5.3).

Be aware that wood or tile floors can be damaged by the spike’s sharp tip. Four small metal
cups are included with the pedestal to fit under
each spike and protect the floor. Once the
spikes have been mounted to the stabilizer bar,
slip a cup under each spike as you gently lower
the tower to the floor.
5.0 Wiring Your Speakers
Before beginning to wire
your system, we suggest
you review the following
guidelines and wiring diagrams to find the Evolution
system(s) you have purchased.
Tools Required:
NHT Wrench (included)
Wire strippers
Tape measure
Speaker Wire (10 - 14 gauge)
Component Interconnect Cables
5.1 General Guides to Wire Layout
has a marking along one or both conductors to
help you make the correct connections. Weak
bass and the lack of a well-defined image are
indications that speakers are wired out of
phase. A well-defined image is one in which
you can easily locate the positions of performers in the sound field.
5.3 Connecting Speaker Wire
The gold plated binding posts on all Evolution
speakers will accept raw wire or virtually any
type of special purpose terminal. If you plan to
use raw wire, strip 1/2" to 3/4" of insulation from
the ends, twisting the exposed wire strands
tightly. Remove the binding post nuts on the terminal and slip the wire through the hole in the
binding post. Replace the nuts on the binding
post and tighten until snug with the NHT wrench.
To minimize noise problems, try to segregate
cables by function, and separate them by the
maximum practical distance. Where audio and
video cables intersect, cross them at right
angles. Try not to twist or tie AC power cords
and speaker cables together.
The minimum size speaker cable recommended
for runs of 20 feet or less is 14awg. Heavier special purpose cable can be used for longer runs.
For best results, use equal length runs of cable
for the left and right speakers (or for the left,
center and right speakers).
5.2 Speaker Phase
For proper response, the speakers must be
wired in-phase with each other. That is, the Red
(+) terminal on the amplifier speaker output
must be connected to the corresponding Red (+)
terminal on the speaker. The same is true of the
Black (-) terminals. All speaker cable or wire
5.4
T5 and T6 Tower Wiring
You will be running 2 pairs of speaker wires to
either Evolution tower model. The M5 and M6
are wired through the B5 or B6 cabinet to keep
the speaker cables near the floor and to reduce
their visibility. There are two Terminal Plates on
the backside of the B5 and B6. The top terminal
plate connects an M5 or M6 to your AV Receiver
or amplifier. The bottom terminal plate connects
a B5 or B6 to an A1 subwoofer amplifier.
5.5 Wiring for Monaural Bass
5.6 System Wiring Diagrams
The B5 bass modules and the dual W2 subwoofer cabinets require one additional wiring
step. The speaker wire coming from the B5 or
W2 cabinets must be connected in parallel at
the A1 subwoofer amplifier.
The Dual
Subwoofer Adapter has been supplied with the
A1 amplifier for this purpose (see illustration).
The following pages contain diagrams illustrating proper wiring for each Evolution model:
Loosely twist the "+" wires from each subwoofer
(or tower base) together, then repeat for the "-"
wires. Loosen the red and black thumbscrews
on the Adapter until the hole in the shaft is fully
revealed. Insert the twisted pair of "+" speaker
wire to the hole marked with red. Tighten until
the wire is securely clamped. Repeat the procedure for the "-" speaker wire and black thumbscrew. The Adapter can now be inserted into
the A1 amplifier’s “speaker out” terminal posts.

6.0 Connecting Evolution Electronics to Your
System.
There are a number of methods by which you
can connect the X1 Active Crossover and A1
Amplifier to the rest of your system. The method
you choose will be determined largely by the
surround components in your system. This
becomes particularly important in the management of bass frequencies. The Evolution electronics were designed with flexibility and compatibility in mind.
The following section will take you through the
steps in making the final connections in your
system. If for some reason the methods
described in this Owner’s Manual don’t work
properly in your system, consult your NHT dealer or call us at 1-800-NHT-9993 (648-9993)
Method 1 - Use if there is a Subwoofer Output
(sometimes labeled “LFE”) on your AV Receiver.
Method 2 - Use if there is a pre-amp out/main in
section on your AV Receiver.
Method 3 - Use this method if have a separate
Surround Processor and Amplifier(s).
Method 1
Integrating the X1 into your surround system is
simple and straightforward when using this connection method. Your AV Receiver will control
all crossover functions and the X1 will control
gain, phase and boundary equalization (see 8.3
below).
Connect the Subwoofer/LFE Output on your AV
Receiver to the LFE IN on the X1 active
crossover.
6.1 Signal Connections
Method 1 - Recommended Surround Settings
Review the following connection method
descriptions and use the one that describes
your surround receiver or processor:
We recommend setting the speaker size in your
processor or receiver to “small” when using
either the M5 or M6 monitors. The “small” set-

ting will prevent low bass frequencies from
reaching the Monitors. The removal of the low
bass will make integration of the Monitors with
your Evolution subwoofer easier and has the
additional benefit of increasing the Monitor’s
dynamic range and power handling capability.
Method 2
This is the connection method to use if your AV
Receiver has a pre-amp out/main in section.
This connection method is preferred over
Method 1.
Remove the jumper connections
between the pre-amp L/R front outputs and the
main L/R inputs.
Connect the Left and Right pre-amp outputs from your AV Receiver to the Left and Right
inputs on the X1.
Connect the Left and Right Hi Pass outputs from the X1 to the Left and Right main
inputs on your AV Receiver.
Connect a single cable from the
Subwoofer/LFE output on the AV Receiver to
the LFE input on the X1.
Finally, using another single cable, connect one of the Sub outputs on the X1 to the
input on the A-1. Set the mode switch on the X1
to Mono.
Note: If you are using two A1 amplifiers for
stereo bass, as with the T6 tower system, set
the mode switch on the X1 to Stereo and use the
remaining Sub output on the X1 and connect to
the input on the second A1 . Make sure the left
and right channels are wired correctly.
Method 2 - Recommended Surround Settings
Set your Left and Right front speakers to “large”
in your AV receiver. Set all other speakers that
are not capable of producing low bass frequencies to “small”. The “large” setting will send a full
range signal to the X1. The Hi Pass and Lo
Pass controls on the X1 crossover will then be
used to set the crossover frequencies for the
front L and R monitors and the subwoofer (see
section 7). The Subwoofer(s) receive bass
information from the front Left and Right channels and the Subwoofer/LFE output (see section
8.3).

Method 3
Use this connection method if you have a separate Surround Processor and Amplifier(s).
Connect the front Left and Right pre-amp
outputs from your Surround Processor to the
Left and Right inputs on the X1.
Connect the Left and Right Hi Pass outputs on the X1 to inputs of the amplifier that is
driving the front Left and front Right speakers.
Using a single cable, connect the
Subwoofer/LFE output from the Surround
Processor to the LFE input on the X1.
Note when using methods #2 and #3: Some
Surround Processors and AV Receivers offer an
additional LFE/Subwoofer setting, often referred
to as “Extended Bass” or “Reinforced Bass”. If
your equipment offers this option we strongly
recommend that you do not select it. The X1
processor will automatically sum the LFE channel with the left and right subwoofer information.
Method 3 - Recommended Surround Settings
Set your Left and Right front speakers to “large”
on your AV receiver. Set all other speakers that
are not capable of producing low bass frequencies to “small”. The “large” setting will send a full
range signal to the X1. You will then use the Hi
Pass and Lo Pass controls on the X1 to set the
crossover points for the front monitors and the
subwoofer (see section 7). The Subwoofer
receives bass information from the front Left and
Right channels and the Subwoofer/LFE output
(see section 8.3).

The X1 crossover receives power via the LL-1
power supply.
The following diagrams will provide starting
points for each control feature on the X1. The
diagrams are organized by Evolution model.
Begin with these basic settings and then move
to Section 8 which describes each X1 control
function in detail and provides advice for fine
tuning the X1 to your listening room.
Note: If you are using main speakers other than
Evolution, use the initial settings described for
the U1 or U2 subwoofer.
The A1 amplifier receives power via the detachable IEC style power cord.
Caution: Prior to connecting the A1
amplifier to your audio system, make
sure that all your other electronic
equipment is turned off or unplugged.

X1 Active Crossover
Design
The NHT X1 active crossover is designed to
provide convenient front-panel adjustment of the
controls necessary to integrate the Evolution
subwoofers with Evolution Monitors or other
satellites. It also provides unbalanced RCA and
differential balanced XLR inputs and outputs for
connection with all types of receivers or separate audio components.
NOTE: The X1 contains special equalization
circuitry specifically designed for Evolution subwoofers and tower bass modules only. Do not
use with non-Evolution subwoofers.
Ideally, the X1 should be placed in close proximity to the receiver or surround processor.
Minimizing cable lengths reduces the chance of
noise contamination. If long runs (more than 20
feet) of signal cables are required, we recommend using the balanced (XLR) inputs and outputs on the crossover.
If you are using the X1 in combination with the
Evolution A1 amplifier, we recommend that you
place the X1 underneath the A1 amplifier. Or, in
a stereo configuration, place the X1 between
two A1 amplifiers. The A1's are equipped with
lamps under the front edge, which illuminate the
X1 controls. See section 9.2 for more detail.
The X1 Active Crossover can operate as either
a mono (single channel) or stereo unit. In the
stereo mode, you may add an additional subwoofer without purchasing an additional
crossover. Two subwoofers can be used for
stereo bass (which is desirable for music reproduction) or for additional mono bass reinforcement (for movie soundtracks).
8.3
Note: Do not use both the unbalanced (RCA)
and balanced (XLR) inputs at the same time.
The unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) outputs are buffered separately and may be used
simultaneously.
Your X1 crossover does not have a power
switch but has been designed with the ability to
turn on and off under various conditions. There
are three methods for activating the X1.
8.2 Placement
The X1 Crossover may be used on a shelf, or in
a standard 19" equipment rack using the optional rack ears and hardware. See section 10.3 for
instructions on rack mounting.
X1 Features and Controls
This section describes the various controls and
functions of the X1. Make sure that your X1 controls initially are set as described in Section 7 for
your Evolution model before continuing.
Power/Standby Mode (Rear Panel)
Once the X1 is
plugged into the
wall outlet it is on - there is no main
power
switch.
The X1 has a
standby
mode
that can be trig-
gered internally or externally. On the rear panel
of the X1 is a 3-position switch that determines
the trigger mode:
1)
On; the X1 is always on.
2)
Audio; the X1 will automatically turn on
when it detects an audio signal and turn off after
20 minutes with no signal.
3)
12V Ext; the X1 can be remotely turned
on or off when it detects a DC control signal from
another component in your system. The external trigger will accept 5 - 24 volt (DC) signals.
For more information regarding external triggers, consult your authorized dealer.
LFE Gain Control (Front Panel)
LFE is short for ‘Low Frequency
Effects’. Low Frequency Effects
originally were low frequency
sounds added to movie soundtracks in order to increase their impact. For consumer electronics, there is no standard concerning what type of signal might be present on
the LFE channel. Therefore, we have added an
LFE input and gain control to the X1 so that you
can integrate whatever is present on the LFE
channel with the signal being reproduced by the
rest of the system.
Master Gain (Front Panel)
The Master Gain control allows
you to adjust the volume of the
subwoofer relative to the monitors. Use the Master Gain judiciously. A properly calibrated
subwoofer blends seamlessly
with the Monitors or satellites without calling
attention to itself. Here are some general guidelines for setting the Master Gain control:
Begin by playing some stereo music you are
familiar with. Set your AV Receiver or Surround
Processor volume to a comfortable listening
level. Slowly increase or decrease the Master
Gain on the X1 crossover, listening for a natural
frequency balance between the subwoofer (or
tower bass module) and the front left and right
monitors. When properly balanced, you will
hear natural bass extension, without being
aware that it is coming directly from the subwoofer.
Once the Master Gain is set, the volume control
on your AV Receiver or Surround Processor will
control the volume of your entire system, including the subwoofer.
After you have set the Master Gain level as
described above, play a multi-channel signal
through your system (as from a movie).
Sources with lots of bass output will be the most
useful. Adjust the LFE gain control until the
bass produced by the subwoofer reaches the
desired level. Most users initially set the level of
the LFE gain control at too high a level, so be
prepared to adjust the control over a long period
of time. You have reached an appropriate level
setting when movies soundtracks have impact
and music sources have punchy bass, but the
overall character of the bass produced by the
subwoofer is not thick and ill defined.
The level of the signal on the LFE channel
varies considerably from source to source, so
you may need to use the LFE level trim featured
in most receivers and processors to adjust the
LFE level on a source-by-source basis.
There is an LFE “Thru” output on the back of the
X1. For more information concerning the use of
this
output,
visit
our
website,
www.nhthifi.com/technicalhelp/evolution .
High Pass Filter Switch (Rear
Panel) - Connection Method 2
and 3 Only
Note: If you are using Connection Method #1,
the X1 High Pass Filter is not in the circuit path.
Your monitors will reproduce the frequency
range selected by your AV Receiver.
The High Pass Filter determines the range of
frequencies that the main speakers ("satellites")
will reproduce. For example, a high pass setting
of 80Hz means that the main speakers receive
a signal containing only frequencies above
80Hz. The 3-positon High Pass Filter is selectable between 50Hz, 80Hz, and 110Hz to
accommodate a variety of speaker sizes.
If you are using Evolution monitors, the setting
for this control shown is Section 7 should be sufficient. If using speakers other than Evolution
monitors and Connection Methods 2 or 3, use
the guidelines below.
Set the High Pass Filter to a frequency above
the rated low frequency limit of the main speakers. For example, if your speakers have a rated
low frequency response of 40Hz, use the 50Hz
high-pass setting. If your speakers have a rated
low frequency response of 90Hz, use the 110Hz
high-pass setting. Check the owner's manual
for their rated low frequency response.
Low Pass Filter Control (Front Panel) Connection Methods 2 and 3 Only
The continuously variable Low
Pass Filter determines the range of
frequencies produced by the subwoofer. For example, a low pass
setting of 100Hz means that the
subwoofer reproduces only frequencies below
100Hz. The LFE input is not affected by this
control.
Adjust the Low Pass Filter to approximately the
same setting as the High Pass Filter as a starting point. Adjust the Low Pass Filter in small
increments up or down until the blend between
the Evolution Subwoofer and your main speakers is seamless and the subwoofer does not call
attention to itself. Music featuring male vocals,
cello and acoustic bass, bass guitar and certain
wind instruments (like saxophone and trombone) is useful for setting the low pass frequency.
Phase Controls (Front Panel)
The Subwoofer Phase switch
and continuously variable knob
set the phase of the subwoofer
output anywhere from 0° to
270° relative to the high pass
output. Proper subwoofer phase is important in
achieving smooth bass response. An improper
phase setting can cause large peaks and dips in
the frequency response of the combined subwoofer/satellite system at the listening position.
The result of the peaks and dips is low frequency production that is very pronounced at certain
frequencies and a lack of seamless integration
between the satellites and subwoofer.
The optimal phase setting will differ according to
room conditions and placement. While fine tuning phase settings, have a familiar stereo CD
available. You should listen to the same song
while alternating phase settings. Find the best
setting while sitting at the primary listening position.
The initial settings described in Section 7 should
be an adequate starting place for your Evolution
system. However, if you want to experiment or
are using main speakers other than Evolution
Monitors, use the following procedure: Begin by
setting the phase knob at 0°, alternating the
switch position between 0° and 180°. From the
listening position, choose the switch position
that yields the most bass output and leave the
switch there. Then use the knob to fine-tune the
phase setting. Slowly twist the knob, listening for
the point at which the bass at the listening position is the loudest. Small changes in phase generally produce subtle changes in bass output.
You may have to adjust the knob now and again
over a period of a few weeks to find the best setting for your listening room.
of the subwoofer. Adjusting the control enables
you to achieve smooth low frequency output
from the subwoofer regardless of its location in
your room.
The following diagrams show the correlation
between subwoofer placement and Boundary
EQ. These diagrams are guidelines only. Your
room acoustics and personal tastes will ultimately dictate the final setting.
Half
Space
Gain Switch (Rear Panel)
The Subwoofer Gain switch allows you to
increase the gain of the X1 subwoofer output by
10dB. Normally, the factory default "0" position
will give you a wide range of volume adjustment.
However, if the sensitivity of your satellite
speakers is greater than 93dB, your range of
volume adjustment on the X1 may be limited. In
this case, set the Gain Switch to 10dB.
Boundary EQ (Front Panel)
The Boundary EQ is a feature unique to NHT
Evolution products. Reflective boundaries (such
as walls) reinforce a speaker’s bass output (3dB
for two walls, 6dB for a corner) if the subwoofer
is placed near them. Conversely, placing a subwoofer out in the room results in a relative
decrease of bass output. Boundary reinforcement may lead to low frequency response that is
uneven. Some frequencies will sound exaggerated relative to others, or the subwoofer will
sound thin and lack impact. The Boundary EQ
control allows you to compensate for the effects
of room boundaries on the frequency response

9.0 A1 Monaural Amplifier
9.1 Design
The A1 is a full range (20Hz - 20kHz) audio
power amplifier.
It provides RCA and XLR
inputs for connection with all types of receivers
or separate audio components. The A1 is a single channel or monaural amplifier and can be
used with Evolution subwoofer and tower products or to power individual Evolution monitors.
The A1 is a Class G design, which operates at
lower temperatures than other amplifier classes
and is typically more efficient. The A1 offers the
wide dynamic range and low distortion typical of
more conventional class AB designs.
9.3 Rack Mounting the A1 and or X1
You may need assistance to hold the A1 or X1
in place while mounting them to the rack.
Note: When rack mounting, we recommend you
leave at least one rack space between components (particularly amplifiers) for proper cooling.
Step One: Remove the
two screws on each
side of the X1 or A1 with
the #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Step Two: Position
the rack ears over
the threaded holes.
Replace the two
screws and tighten
both securely.
9.2 Placement
The A1 amplifier may be placed on a shelf, or in
a standard 19" equipment rack using the optional rack ears and hardware. See instructions on
rack mounting below.
Ideally, the A1 should be placed in close proximity to the receiver or surround processor.
Minimizing cable lengths reduces the chance of
noise contamination. If long runs (more than
20’) of signal cable are required we recommend
using the balanced (XLR) input on the amplifier.
Step Three: Arrange the
mounting screws included
with the rack ears and the
plastic insulating washers
as shown.
Step Four: Start all four
bolts, then tighten securely.
9.5 A1 Courtesy Lights
The A1 amplifier is equipped with courtesy lights
to illuminate the controls of the X1. This feature
is controlled by a 3-position switch for HI, LO
and OFF that can be accessed from the bottom
of the amplifier just behind the center of the front
panel. The A1 courtesy lights are set in the HI
position at the factory.
9.4 Power/Standby Mode
The main power switch for the A1 is located on
the rear panel and does not normally need to be
used. The A1 has a standby mode that can be
triggered internally or externally. On the rear
panel of the A1 is a 3-position switch that determines the trigger mode:
1)
On: The A1 is always on.
2)
Audio: The A1 will automatically turn on
when it detects an audio signal and turn off after
20 minutes with no signal.
3)
12V Ext: The A1 can be remotely turned
on or off when it detects a DC control signal from
another component in your system. The external trigger will accept 5 - 24 volt (DC) signals.
For more information regarding external triggers, consult your authorized dealer.
To adjust intensity or turn off the lights, unplug
the A1 from the wall. Use a small flat blade
screwdriver and move the switch according to
the desired position using the diagram. The
courtesy lights will shutoff automatically when
the amplifier is in “standby” mode.

9.6 System Status Indicators
Located on the right hand side of the front panel
are three LEDs. They are used to indicate the
status of the A1 amplifier.
P - Power LED (green) - indicates the A1 amplifier is on and in a ready condition.
S - Standby LED (amber) - indicates the A1
amplifier is in "standby" mode.
F - Fault/Protection LED (red) - indicates the A1
amplifier is in a shutdown condition.
To replace the fuse:
1.
Turn the power off.
2.
UNPLUG the power cord.
3.
Remove the fuse holder cover (next to
power cord) with a flat blade screwdriver.
4.
Remove the fuse from holder and replace
it with the appropriate type.
5.
Reinstall fuse holder.
Always replace the fuse with one of the exact
same specifications.
For systems operating at 115VAC, use only a
5x20 mm, T5AL, 250V slow-blow fuse.
For systems operating at 230VAC, use only a
5x20mm, T2.5AL, 250V slow-blow fuse.
9.8 Changing the Line Voltage Setting
Fault/Protection: The A1 can shutdown in
Protection mode for several reasons. A common reason is that the speaker output wires
have shorted together. Another could be that
the amplifier has overheated. Should either of
these conditions occur, repairing the cause of
the output short or allowing the amplifier to cool
will solve the problem. To reset the A1, turn the
power switch (rear panel) off and then on. If the
problem persists, contact your NHT dealer.
9.7 Replacing the Fuse
The A1 amplifier's fuse
is user-serviceable.
The A1 was designed to operate
on two line voltage settings,
115VAC and 230VAC. In the
event that it is necessary to
change the line voltage setting,
begin by turning the power
switch to the off position. Remove all the connections from the amplifier, including the detachable power cord. Using a flat blade screwdriver,
slide the switch to the correct position. Use the
115VAC position for 110 to 120 VAC, and the
230VAC position for 220 to 240 VAC. Next you
will likely need a power cord that fits the AC
receptacle and you will need to replace the fuse
(see "Changing the Fuse" above)
10.0 Maintaining your system
Your NHT Evolution speakers and electronics
require minimal maintenance under normal use.
The cabinet may be cleaned using a soft cloth.
There is usually no need to use fluids such as
cleaners or wax to clean the surface of the
speakers. The durable lacquer finish is designed
for minimal maintenance. To clean the grille, first
remove it from the speaker, then brush lightly
with a soft brush or use a vacuum on its lowest
setting. Do not attempt to clean the actual drivers. To remove dust, you may use a feather
duster. Do not expose the speakers to direct
sunlight, high temperatures, or moisture.
Electronic components should be wiped with a
dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use any
liquid near or on the electronics as it may cause
electrical shock.
11.0 Evolution Technology
11.1 Monitor Technology
NHT chose the word Evolution to describe our
new products for two reasons. Evolution represents our belief that loudspeaker design must
evolve to meet the requirements of multi-channel, digital media both technologically and
ergonomically. Secondly, it represents the evolution of the fundamental technologies unique to
NHT over our 15-year history.
The simple, elegant lines of our Evolution loudspeakers and subwoofers belie the tremendous
amount of technology built into them. This section describes the attention to detail and high
performance contained in this unique collection.
Inside the Evolution Monitors:
Both the M5 and M6, while offering different driver compliments, offer similar performance. The
distinguishing characteristic between the two
monitors is how loud they will play; the M5 is
designed for small to medium sized rooms, the
M6 for large rooms. The construction methods
and internal technological features that deliver
such high performance are the same.
A View Inside an Evolution Monitor
A) The cabinet is constructed of 3/4” MDF.
Lamination on the inside increases structural
rigidity.
B) Where necessary the cabinets are braced to
minimizing unwanted resonances.
C) The internal midrange chamber features nonparallel internal surfaces that randomize standing waves, eliminating comb-filtering and
improving clarity and detail. The chamber is also
sized to the midrange driver so that it is acoustically small. This further reduces the possibility of
standing waves.
Evolution incorporates a "virtual" adaptation of
F.I.G.
Rather than an angled cabinet, we
increase the energy at the listening position
using the crossover.
D) The small footprint of the Neodymium tweeter allows closer placement to the midrange driver, improving mid-range coherence.
E) The tweeter is mounted to a solid aluminum
“Wonder” bar that acts as a massive heatsink,
providing high power handling and less power
compression.
F) The Wonder Bar is mounted to the tweeter
from the rear of the cabinet, further increasing
cabinet rigidity.
Television
When Evolution monitors are vertically oriented
and the tweeters on the inside edge of the cabinet the null created in the crossover between
the mid and high frequency drivers is directed at
the sidewalls.
The graph below shows the
decrease in energy, or reflected sound towards
the wall (C) and the compared to the direct
sound radiating at listening area (A & B). This
improves detail and provides a 3-dimensional
soundstage.
C
11.2 What is "Virtual" Focused
Image Geometry?
NHT's hallmark for many years was a uniquely
angled which we described as Focused Image
Geometry (F.I.G.). The angled cabinet focused
the mid-range and high frequencies into the listening room and away from room boundaries
increasing the ratio of direct to reflected sound.
This resulted in loudspeakers systems universally praised for their imaging and detail to a
wide listening area.

When oriented horizontally, the null is directed at
the ceiling or floor (depending on tweeter position) improving mid-range detail.
11.3 Boundary Switch
A loudspeaker’s mid-bass response is very
dependant on its room placement. For example, if a speaker is tuned for placement away
from walls and is then placed on a bookshelf,
the reinforcement of mid-bass frequencies will
make the speaker sound somewhat “thick”. The
M5 and M6 feature a unique dual mode
crossover that adjusts the monitor’s response in
the mid-bass range for either placement situation. The graph below illustrates the decrease in
bass energy from 80Hz to 500Hz when the
switch is in the “1” position, making placement
on a shelf or television possible while maintaining proper frequency response. The “0” position
optimizes the monitor for placement away from
room boundaries.
11.4
High Dynamic Range/Low Power
Compression
The increased dynamic range of digital media
can make much greater demands on the output
capabilities of speakers than in the past. As
speakers are pushed towards their limits, the
temperature of the drivers rises. Heat causes
the drivers impedance (resistance to AC current
flow) to increase, reducing the amount of power
the amplifier can deliver to the driver. Dynamic
range is reduced, distortion increases and
sound quality suffers.
Evolution monitors and subwoofers are
designed to minimize this phenomena in a number of important ways.
1)
The 12” woofer contained in all Evolution
subwoofers and tower bass modules employs,
in addition to a massive motor structure, an aluminum cone attached to an aluminum former.
The cone acts as a heat sink for the driver, minimizing the rise in impedance and resulting distortion.
2)
The Wonder Bar, mounted to the tweeters in the Evolution monitors, dissipates heat
from the most fragile driver in any loudspeaker.
3)
Evolution monitors are 3-way systems
with dual woofers. The input power is spread
over multiple drivers, minimizing heat build up
and distortion.
11.5 Orientation Independent Dispersion
The Evolution monitors are optimized for use in
either a horizontal or vertical orientation. This is
achieved by means of the relative placement,
size and crossover frequencies of the drivers.
The very small separation between the
midrange and tweeter drivers allows dispersion
that is very wide and well controlled. When combined with the low crossover frequency between
the woofers and midrange, the resulting soundfield permits the speaker to be used in a horizontal or vertical orientation without significant
changes in frequency response and imaging
characteristics.
