Overview:

Designed for small to medium size rooms, this elegant compact NHT monitor integrates subtly into any room, either as a freestanding speaker or in cabinets, built-ins or on shelves.

Features:
3-way, acoustic suspension system, employing two 5.25" woofers, 3" midrange and 1" metal dome tweeter.

The M5 incorporates NHT's unique Boundary switch, which controls a dual mode crossover. One mode for freestanding use and a second mode that adjusts the M5's frequency response for placement on shelves, televisions or cabinets.

Cabinet constructed of dense 3/4" MDF, internally laminated and braced in two places to increase structural rigidity and reduce spurious resonances.

The M5 tweeter, featuring a rare-earth neodymium magnet structure, is attached to a solid aluminum "Wonder" bar -- a massive heatsink enabling high power handling and low distortion. The small tweeter is placed close to the midrange driver, improving upper frequency coherence and allowing either vertical or horizontal placement with no performance compromise.

The midrange driver is mounted internally in an acoustically Àsmall" chamber that randomizes standing waves and eliminates comb-filtering -- assuring sonic clarity and detail.

Because the M5 is a 4 driver, 3-way system, power is properly distributed, minimizing heat build up and distortion while providing excellent dynamic range.
