ALL-ENVIRONMENT IN-GROUND
OUTDOOR SPEAKER
The NEAR
®
IG8s2 employs advanced technologies and superior
materials to deliver truly high-delity sound to everyone on the
patio or deck, at every volume level, without fatigue. Best of all
it can do that over many years, even decades, of full exposure
to nasty weather, without yellowing, rusting or fading.
The NEAR IG8s2 looks and sounds great when used as free-
standing on-ground speaker, but performs best when partially
buried; affording homeowners superior sound performance,
lower visibility and greater theft security.
Every Listener Hears Great Sound
The NEAR IG8s2 radiates sound evenly in a 360-degree pattern
for more uniform coverage and better sound quality for every
listener. As listeners move through and around the space
they’ll be rewarded with uniform volume levels, perfect octave-
to-octave tonal balance, and clear, natural vocals without the
“shouty” quality of so many outdoor speakers.
Advanced Technology
The IG8s2 utilizes a Generation 2 MDT metal alloy woofer with
dual voice coil UDIO technology along with the Magnetic Liquid
Suspension (MLS) technology patented by New England Audio
Resource in 1993. Our Titanium alloy tweeter supplies smooth,
detailed “air” and life to the music. The result is exceptional sound
quality that rivals audiophile-grade indoor speaker systems.
Exceptional Durability
Like other NEAR speakers, the IG8s2 is truly weatherproof, not
just “weather-resistant,” and can be used totally exposed to the
elements. The enclosure is color-through polymer that sheds
moisture, dirt and chemicals. The pigments are embedded
uniformly throughout the material so the sun won’t fade the color
and garden tools won’t mar their looks.
