PACKAGE CONTENTS
SPEAKER ORIENTATION
RIGHT
The NEAR A
1
2 is acoustically designed to operate in a vertical orientation with
the NEAR logo right side up. This orientation will provide 90 degrees of hori-
zontal coverage and 45 degrees of vertical coverage.
RIGHT
WRONG
The A
1
2 is a ported speaker, designed to shed water, and includes a unique
water-repellent scrim. This scrim covers the ports and horn throat to slow the
ingress of water, but a small amount of water may still enter the cabinet. Weep
holes are provided at the bottom of the speaker baffle to drain any water that
enters the cabinet.
NOTE:
It is very important that the speaker be mounted with its face either
vertical or facing down. Never install the speaker with the face tilted up, as this
will undermine the water-shedding aspects of the design and allow excessive
water to enter the cabinet.
