How durable are NEAR speakers?

NEAR Speakers are built-to-last and have withstood some of the most severe weather conditions on the planet. All the products are environmentally engineered and designed to meet or exceed the military standard specification Mil-Std-810 (Humidity, Salt Air, Heat, Cold). NEAR speakers are backed by long warranties. The LB Series has 12 years’ parts and labour warranty. The previous AE series, with a 12-year sales history, has a less than 1% failure rate! All enclosures of NEAR speakers are made with colour-through mica infused polymer. This robust material lasts forever and the colour of the enclosure doesn‘t fade. All grilles are powder-coated aluminum or stainless steel with oval shaped holes that let the rain run through. Last but not least, the speaker connectors are IP67 and can be even submerged in water. All of the NEAR products are designed to deliver end-user peace of mind knowing that their Speaker system will provide them with years of enjoyment.
