NHT today announced a new arrival in its acclaimed Classic family of in-room home audio loudspeakers.

“This new design provides a very important solution when assembling a music or home theater system,” says John Johnsen, NHT’s head of marketing. “Until now, we’ve recommended wall mounting our bookshelf speakers when there is no floor or shelf space available for them.

“The new Absolute Wall Speaker is designed to perform best when flush against the wall.  It installs with a single screw and its low four-inch profile keeps it from intruding into the room offering minimalist aesthetics while providing revered NHT Sonics.”

 “It’s ideal for all home theater channels with the exception of the center, for which we already have solutions,” says Johnsen. “At last, home theater surround width and height channels have a natural companion whose appearance doesn’t dominate a room. Also, it provides a real alternative for distributed audio when in-wall or in-ceiling products aren’t viable. And the speaker is quite compelling for use in upscale light commercial fixed installations.”

NHT’s Absolute Wall Speaker will be packaged with simple, integrated hardware for flush mounting on any wall. The frequency response (85Hz – 21kHZ +/- 3dB) is nearly identical to that of the very popular Absolute Zero. The dimensions are 13” H x 4” D x 5.75” W and weight is 11lbs.  It will be available in both black and white gloss hand-rubbed finishes. 

NHT expects its online price to be $199 each.  They will be shipping in November, 2011 both Factory Direct from NHThifi.com or from NHT Authorized Internet Partners and select Custom Installer dealers.
