NEARSCAPES™ systems are convenient and cost effective ways to get unobtrusive, super high performance sound into your outdoor living spaces. These “satellite/subwoofer” systems boast high clarity at any volume, deep articulate bass, and ultra-low distortion.

NEARSCAPES™ 4.1

Best of all, the wide dispersion of the LB4TM satellites means fewer speakers are needed to cover an area with high clarity sound with NEARSCAPES than with similar competing systems. With a properly configured NEARSCAPES system every listener in the listening area will hear full-performance sound without overly loud “hot” and low-fidelity “dead” zones. 

The NEARSCAPES 2.1 system evenly covers a 1500 square foot area (140m2) area when driven by 100W/channel, while the 4.1 system covers 3000 square feet (280m2) with 200 WPC power. 

Installation Ease

NEARSCAPES™ systems include easy to use ball and socket aim-able brackets that allow you to mount the LB4TM satellite speakers on walls, soffits, railings or fence posts. They also include GS4 ground stakes for mounting in gardens and lawns.

The IGS10 subwoofer can be used freestanding or partly buried in the ground for minimum visibility and maximum bass performance. 

GS4 ground stakes are supplied with NEARSCAPES systems

LB4TM Satellite Speaker

The NEAR® LB4TM all-environment loudspeaker is elegantly designed, rugged to the extreme and a snap to install. The LB4TM employs a ball and socket "signature" mounting system combined with a pre-terminated totally waterproof input connector. This mounting system minimizes installation effort and reduces “ladder time” to improve installation efficiency and safety. The LB4TM utilizes a 4-inch MDT/MLS woofer with a 1-inch titanium inverted dome tweeter for perfectly life-like sound dispersed evenly over a wide area.

This version of the LB4 differs from the LB4T in its color (mulch brown) and its  low impedance bypass rating of 16 Ohms. It is the ideal speaker to use when using multiple pairs driven by a low-impedance output amplifier (non-70V).
