SPEAKER ORIENTATION

RIGHT WRONG

The NEAR A12 is acoustically designed to operate in a vertical orientation with the NEAR logo right side up. This orientation will provide 90 degrees of hori- zontal coverage and 45 degrees of vertical coverage.

RIGHT WRONG

The A12 is a ported speaker, designed to shed water, and includes a unique water-repellent scrim.This scrim covers the ports and horn throat to slow the ingress of water, but a small amount of water may still enter the cabinet.Weep holes are provided at the bottom of the speaker baffle to drain any water that enters the cabinet.

NOTE: It is very important that the speaker be mounted with its face either vertical or facing down. Never install the speaker with the face tilted up, as this will undermine the water-shedding aspects of the design and allow excessive water to enter the cabinet.
