WORK PRO took advantage of the InfoComm platform to present NEO 5 Air, the latest addition to its popular NEO range of installation speakers.
Like other products in the NEO series, NEO 5 Air is a cost-effective speaker that combines exceptional audio quality with a compact design, making it easy for installers to integrate the speakers with the architectural requirements of their project.
What makes NEO 5 Air unique is its built-in wireless digital audio transceiver, which allows the speakers to function as a broadcast system where any unit can be used as a master or receiver. For example, in an installation with numerous NEO 5 Air speakers, one speaker can be configured as the master to transmit the audio source to all other "receiver" speakers.
There are two ways to connect the NEO 5 Air in master mode to the playback device: via Bluetooth or through a wired Line input. This offers users the maximum flexibility and allows for easy audio transmission from a computer or phone via Bluetooth.
The NEO 5 Air in master mode can transmit audio to an unlimited number of NEO 5 Air receivers, and thanks to the inclusion of a channel selector controlled by DIP micro-switches, it is possible to broadcast up to 16 different channels. This means that music from various sources can be transmitted from the master to the specified receivers in the system, allowing users to create distinctive atmospheres in their venues.
The NEO series is one of our most popular ranges because it offers exceptional audio quality and adapts perfectly to both indoor and outdoor installations. NEO 5 Air brings an exciting new dimension to the series by allowing installers and venue owners to capture audio from multiple sources through the master unit and then broadcast it to an unlimited number of receivers, says Juan José Vila, CEO of the parent company Equipson.
The complete NEO range includes passive speakers, two-way active speakers, and an active subwoofer, some of which are specifically designed for outdoor use thanks to their ability to withstand wind, rain, and adverse weather conditions. All NEO speakers are suitable for low-impedance installations as well as 100V line installations, and to ensure the best possible audio coverage, all NEO speakers can be mounted on specially designed brackets that allow them to be oriented on both axes.
