ALL-ENVIRONMENT OUTDOOR LOUDSPEAKERS
The NEAR® VM1 and VM2 Outdoor Full-Range Loudspeakers have been purposebuilt to be extremely durable in all weather conditions. With a mix of elegance and
function, the VM1 (4.5” 2-way) and the VM2 (5.25” 2-way) utilize many of NEAR’s
signature features and benefits such as Metal Diaphragm Technology (MDT) woofers
for consistent performance in any environment, and titanium-alloy tweeters that deliver
superior sound quality. The VM-Series speaker enclosure is color-through, micaloaded polypropylene with color-matched aluminum grilles. The VM-Series mounting
system minimizes installation effort and reduces “ladder time” for superior installation
efficiency and safety.
