Description
The A
1
2 features NEAR’s unique technologies to produce the high-
est sound quality in the most durable and reliable loudspeakers avail-
able. The A
1
2 is a compact, high-powered speaker that projects well
in open spaces like theme parks, sports fields, and plazas.
Precise sound reproduction is achieved with two 6.5" mid/bass driv-
ers employing both MDT and patented MLS technologies for supe-
rior sound and weather resistance. The high-frequency driver is a
1
.9" horn-loaded diaphragm (
1
" exit). A built-in
1
28W transformer
makes the A
1
2 compatible with 70V sound systems. The transformer
can be easily bypassed for use in low-impedance systems (
1
6 ohms).
NEAR’s patented spiderless technology (MLS™) and advanced
materials deliver out-of-the-box performance year after year.
Speaker diaphragms are manufactured with materials that will not be
altered by constant exposure to UV rays or water, cold or heat, or
extremely high or low humidity.
Unique MDT™ (Metal Diaphragm Technology)
:
• High rigidity and low mass of metal versus traditional papers
and plastics
• Extremely stable cone structure over long periods of time
• Fast transmission of sound through the diaphragm means
low energy storage
• Special anodizing process creates a ceramic coating for
increased stiffness
• Efficient heat-sinking of voice coils under long-term,
high-power situations
Patented MLS™ (Magnetic Liquid Suspension):
• Voice coil is constantly centered for lower distortion
• Voice coil is more efficiently heat-sinked by fluid instead of
air
• Greater linearity is accomplished because the mechanical
spider is eliminated
• Constant lubrication of the gap prevents oxidation from
outdoor use
