SupraPolymer Surround
A woofer’s surround is a vital component of its performance and a common failure point for outdoor speakers. In the NEAR® “spiderless” design it plays an even more critical role. NEAR’s surround design is the product of decades of intense research.
It starts with a polymer material that is impervious to salt, fertilizers, chlorine, UV, temperature extremes and the other environmental elements that destroy typical rubber surrounds. There is no speaker better for indoor or outdoor pools, marine, lawn or garden applications than NEAR.
The NEAR SupraPolymer surround is specially tuned to absorb residual cone resonance modes, preventing them from radiating back through the cone. The sound is always pure and free from the resonances that can make speakers sound harsh and fatiguing. Over years of use and exposure to the elements, there is little change to these characteristics. NEAR speakers sound the same many years down the road as they did on day one.
