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 Diaphragm Technology):
• 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
