LB 8

ALL-ENVIRONMENT OUTDOOR SPEAKER

A TRUE ORIGINAL

FULL RANGE, ALL-ENVIRONMENT BRACKET-MOUNT SPEAKER

The NEAR® LB8 speaker is elegantly designed, rugged to

the extreme and a snap to install. The LB8 employs a NEAR

exclusive “lever bracket” mount combined with a perfect-t,

totally waterproof input connector. This mounting system

minimizes installation effort and reduces “ladder time” to

improve installation safety. The LB8 utilizes MDT/MLS

woofers with 1” titanium inverted dome tweeters for timbre

consistency across the range to allow for complete system

design exibility. The LB8 enclosure is color-through, mica-

loaded polypropylene with color-matched stainless steel

grille. Water-shedding and dust-protecting hydrophobic

fabric prevents ingress of ne debris.

speaker assembly comes with a pre-terminated waterproof

plug-in connector that makes installation a breeze.

The LB Series speakers quickly and

easily slide into slots in the clamp

module, with knobs and bracket pre-

attached to the speaker. The knobs

are also oversized for easier grip and

better control during installation. The
