Bogen NEARSCAPES-4-1DSP Complete Outdoor Audio Speaker System with 350 WPC DSP Amplifier

The NEARSCAPES-4-1DSP system is a great way to deliver unobtrusive, super high performance sound into outdoor living spaces. This flexible "satellite/subwoofer" system including 350 Watts per channel power amp boasts high clarity at any volume, deep articulate bass, and ultra-low distortion for areas up to 3000 sq. ft. (280sq.m). The wide dispersion of the LB4TM satellites means fewer speakers are needed to cover an area with high clarity sound with NEARSCAPES than with similar competing systems. With this NEARSCAPES system every listener in the listening area will hear full-performance sound without overly loud "hot" and low-fidelity "dead" zones. The NEARSCAPES-4-1DSP system evenly covers a 3000 square feet (280m2).

The NEAR LB4TM all-environment loudspeaker is elegantly designed, rugged to the extreme and a snap to install. Best of all is the sound quality. The LB4TM's wide dispersion design and high tech components ensure that everyone on the deck or patio hears well-balanced, lifelike sound at every volume level without fatigue. The LB4TM utilizes an MDT metal alloy diaphragm woofer with a 1-inch titanium inverted dome tweeter along with the Magnetic Liquid Suspension (MLS) technology patented by New England Audio Resource in 1993. These are the same materials and technologies employed throughout the LB Series to ensure timbre consistency and system design flexibility. NEARSCAPES™ systems include easy to use ball and socket aim-able brackets that allow you to mount the LB4TM satellite speakers on walls, soffits, railings or fence posts. The system also includes GS4 ground stakes for mounting in gardens and lawns. The IGS100M subwoofer can be used freestanding or partly buried in the ground for minimum visibility and maximum bass performance.

The IGS100M features an MDT metal alloy diaphragm woofer with dual voice coil UDIO technology along with the MLS technology. The IGS100M's 10-inch driver is loaded into a bandpass enclosure - the perfect solution to the challenges of delivering bass reliably outdoors. The result is exceptional sound quality that rivals audiophile-grade indoor loudspeaker systems. You and your guests will be delighted with clear, intelligible and soul-stirring sound. For the ultimate in outdoors audio performance, the NEARSCAPES-4-1DSP system includes the awesome NEAR 3XL 2-channel amplifier. It belts out 350 Watts per channel efficiently and reliably–more than enough to power the IG44.1 speaker system to robust volume levels. The 3XL’s digital signal processor (DSP) is preconfigured to bring out the best performance from the speakers. Crossovers, equalization, limiting and other parameters are set perfectly at the factory for quick, accurate and foolproof set up. Advanced users can access the full array of DSP controls via NEAR’s browser-based graphical user interface (GUI).
