Spec Sheet

NEARSCAPES
TM
systems are the best way to deliver
unobtrusive, super high performance sound into outdoor
living spaces. These “satellite/subwoofer” systems boast
high clarity at any volume, deep articulate bass, and
ultra-low distortion.
The 120-degree wide dispersion of the LB4TM satellites
means fewer speakers are needed to cover an area with
high clarity sound installing NEARSCAPES than using
competing systems with 60-degree dispersion. And with
NEARSCAPES systems, every listener in the coverage
area will hear full performance sound without overly loud
“hotand low-delity dead” zones.
The NEARSCAPES 2.1 system will evenly cover a 1500
square foot area (140m
2
) area when driven by 100W/
channel, while the 4.1 system covers 3000 square feet
(280m
2
) with 200 WPC power.
Installation Ease
NEARSCAPES systems include GS4 ground stakes for
mounting in gardens and lawns as well as 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 IGS10 in-ground subwoofer can be employed as free-
standing or in-ground for minimum visibility and maximum
bass performance.
Smart Wiring
Our NEAR engineers have carefully designed every
NEARSCAPES component for maximum system design
and wiring flexibility. LB4TM satellites and IGS10
subwoofer can be congured to accept
either low impedance or 70V power
inputs. The sub features dual voice coil
windings, allowing them to be wired
with either one or two channel (stereo)
signals. When driven by traditional
hi- ampliers and AV Receivers, the
system impedance is always an easy-
to-drive 8 Ohms.
Scalability
For areas greater than 3000 square feet or where excep-
tionally high volume levels are required, NEARSCAPES
systems can be scaled up by adding LB4TM
satellites and/or IGS10 subwoofers.

5 year Warranty
Purpose-built to be extremely durable in all weather
conditions
Stylish design provides functional rigidity and extra
security when buried
Anodized metal alloy speaker cones (MDT) maintain
specied performance over a broad range of temp-
eratures (-20 to +160 degrees F; -29 - +71 C) for
consistent sound quality in every season.
UDIO (upside down/inside out) driver employs voice
coils wound both inside and outside the former for
extremely accurate linearity, even at extreme volume
levels
Magnetic Liquid Suspension (MLS) spiderless motor
uses specially developed Ferrouid to center the voice
coil and eliminates distortion generated by spiders
Color-through polyethylene enclosure is acoustically
inert and stands tough even under the most extreme
conditions
Advanced SupraPolymer cone
surrounds resist UV rays, chlorine,
fertilizer and salt spray
70V multi-tap transformer stan-
dard for use with a NEAR power
amplier in 70V operation, can be
bypassed for 16-Ohm or 8-Ohm
use, either by dual channel (two
units, stereo bass), or single chan-
nel (one unit, summed voice coils).
