Product Information

If you like the sound of the Absolute Zero and Classic Two the Absolute Center is the matching center channel speaker. It can also be used as an L/C/R or on any channel where high-fidelity, low distortion and a low profile are desired.We made the Absolute Center as small as we possibly could while matching the timber, dynamics and dispersion precisely. The Absolute Center may be our least expensive center channel but the same amount of thought, precision mechanical and acoustical engineering went into the design as goes into every award winning NHT Classic model. The Absolute Center is a supreme example of NHT high-end, without high-price philosophy.

The Absolute Center uses two 4.5 woofers and the same 1¡± aluminum dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet assembly and cooling/mounting bar assembly we use in the Absolute Zero and Classic Two called the "wonder bar". The Wonder Bar secures the tweeter from the back of the speaker, heat sinks (cools) the tweeter and allows for a minimal faceplate. This design allows us to tuck the tweeter tightly between the mid-range drivers which provides great horizontal dispersion, excellent articulation and high power handling. The Absolute Center is also magnetically shielded so placement next to that vintage CRT isn't a problem.

The cabinet is very robust in construction like all models in the Classic line. The Absolute Center uses ¨ú¡± wood substrate (MDF) for all surfaces, dual internal braces, hand-painted finish with 2 primer coats, 7 color coats and 2 clear coats producing a beautiful piano quality high-gloss, black finish. The Absolute Center comes with the Classic aluminum rails with a butyl rubber channel strip already attached.
