Using high resolution, near infrared spectroscopy, we detected the cool secondary component of the visual-light spectroscopic binary in the pre-main-sequence system NTT 155913-2233. We identify approximate spectral types of K5 and M5 for the stars in the now double-lined spectroscopic binary (SB2), and K5 for the tertiary component at 0.29''. We find a mass ratio of 2.1+/-0.24 for the SB2. From the mass function determined by Mathieu (1994) we obtain lower limits for the primary and secondary masses of 1.1+/-0.2 and 0.5+/-0.1, respectively. Using fluxes from our model fit to the data, together with the spectral types and the mass ratio of the components, we are able to plot NTT 155913-2233 as a coeval system only on the Swenson et al. (1994) pre-main-sequence evolutionary tracks.
