EXAMPLE OF 70V SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
NOTE:The total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value cannot exceed the output power (in watts)
of the 70V amplifier.The above example shows 5 speakers. Using the 16W taps, you need an amplifier with
at least (5) x (16) = 80W.A good rule of thumb is to select an amplifier with 20% greater power; in this case,
an amplifier that delivers about 100W.
EXAMPLE OF 8Ω SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Observe correct
polarity for maximum
bass performance.

NEAR TECHNOLOGIES
NEAR® A-Series Armadillo® loudspeakers feature NEAR’s unique technologies that improve
sound quality and operating reliability. All models feature NEAR’s MDT (Metal Diaphragm
Technology) and MLS (Magnetic Liquid Suspension).
Unique MDT™ (Metal DiaphragmTechnology):
• High rigidity and low mass of metal versus traditional papers and plastics
• Extremely stable cone structure over long periods of time
• Fast transmission of sound through the diaphragm means low energy storage
• Special anodizing process creates a ceramic coating for increased stiffness
• Efficient heat-sinking of voice coils under long-term, high-power situations
Patented MLS™ (Magnetic Liquid Suspension):
• Voice coil is constantly centered for lower distortion
• Voice coil is more efficiently heat-sinked by fluid instead of air
• Greater linearity is accomplished because the mechanical spider is eliminated
• Constant lubrication of the gap prevents oxidation from outdoor use
