SIGNATURE MOUNT
MATERIALS
The NEAR
LB4TM
speaker is elegantly designed, rugged to the extreme, and a snap to
install. With the
GS4
Ground Stake accessory, mounting the speaker in a garden area
or along a fenceline at ground level can be easily done. Also included is the LB4TM
“Signature” (ball & socket) bracket mount, which offers the option of mounting the
speaker onto any surface such as a wall or wooden post. And since the LB4TM loud-
speaker has the legendary NEAR outdoor durability and high-performance audiophile
sound reproduction, you can install it anywhere with confidence. The LB4TM utilizes
MDT/MLS woofers with 1” aluminum inverted dome tweeters for timbre consistency
across the range to allow for complete system design flexibility. The speaker enclosure
is color-through, mica-loaded polypropylene with color-matched aluminum grilles and
is protected from moisture ingress with hydrophobic fabric.
