The NEAR LB8W speaker is elegantly designed, rugged to the extreme and a snap to install. The LB8W employs a NEAR exclusive “lever bracket” mount combined with a perfect-fit, totally waterproof input connector. This mounting system minimizes installation effort and reduces “ladder time” to improve installation safety. The LB8W utilizes MDT/MLS woofers with 1” titanium inverted dome tweeters for timbre consistency across the range to allow for complete system design flexibility. The LB8W enclosure is color-through, micaloaded polypropylene with color-matched stainless steel grille. Water-shedding and dust-protecting hydrophobic fabric prevents ingress of fine debris.
