To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Nubert, the company has introduced the bookshelf loudspeakers Nubert nuZeo 3. The acoustics are made according to a two-way scheme and are equipped with 148 mm midrange/low-frequency driver with a diffuser made of carbon fiber. 26 mm tweeters with a Tetoron fabric dome are responsible for high frequencies. Each loudspeaker is equipped with amplifiers with a total power of 320 W and operates in the frequency range from 44 to 22,000 Hz.
Nubert nuZeo 3 provides compatibility with various audio configurations via X-Connect wireless standard and X-Connect-Surround. In addition, the proprietary mobile application X-Remote makes it easier to control Nubert nuZeo 3. Of course, a traditional connection via RCA / XLR is also available.
The X-Room sound calibration function allows you to optimally adjust the bass and mids from 20 to 160 Hz to suit the acoustic characteristics of the room. Apple users can use the built-in iPhone microphone for this purpose, while for Android smartphone users Nubert provides an external calibration microphone.
The Nubert nuZeo 3 active bookshelf speakers are available in black or white piano lacquer. The recommended price for one loudspeaker is 950 euros.
