Thank you for your purchase of the NEAR IGS212 subwoofer! This guide will assist
in the proper installation of your subwoofer. When you couple the IGS212 with the
NEAR XL-Series amplifiers, you are ensured the highest level of bass performance.
By taking a few moments to review this setup guide, you ensure that your new system
will quickly deliver audiophile-quality musical reproduction. The IGS212 is a sealed
bandpass, outdoor subwoofer that provides exceptionally high-impact natural sound
and can withstand nearly all types of environment and weather conditions. The
subwoofer combines two industry-leading technologies from NEAR: Metal Diaphragm
Technology (MDT), which ensures speaker cone stability in all-environmental conditions,
and Magnetic Liquid Suspension (MLS), a Ferrofluid seal around the magnet gap
and voice coil that provides protection from moisture and corrosion as well as
near-perfect voice coil alignment. Incidentally, the in-ground bandpass subwoofer
design was originally patented by NEAR.
Placement and Sound Quality
Dispersion of the IGS212 is a full 360 degrees! This means that the orientation of the
subwoofer is not critical. We recommend that you install the subwoofer in-ground.
The packed earth around the enclosure suppresses enclosure resonance for improved
low-frequency definition. The IGS212’s enclosure features drainage channels to drain
water that may enter the enclosure via the bass vents.

Speaker cables from the amplifier to the
subwoofer may be directly buried provided
you use direct burial-rated stranded speaker
cable. We highly recommend the use of a
1” to 1-1/2” ID conduit to protect the wires
from degradation and damage due to excavation or normal gardening activities. The
NEAR IGS212 subwoofer has entry and exit
wire/conduit channels on the bottom of the
enclosure. We highly recommend the use
of the NEAR IE1 junction box.
