NÍTID
SMART DESIGN
NÍTID is a new active system series from Amate Audio that employs the very latest digital amplification and processing technologies, in symbiosis with advanced electroacoustic research, to achieve exceptional performance levels from ultra compact speaker cabinets designs.
Like every NÍTID design, the N12SM is the culmination of an intensive program of research, development and optimization, to achieve the greatest possible power and performance from the most compact sized cabinet.
NÍTID - from the Latin nitidus, meaning bright, glistening or lustrous, and nitere, to shine. The name is an inspiration for the loudspeaker series that celebrates 45 years of Amate Audio.
EASY TO HANDLE... ...and even easier to operate. Weighing just 18 kg (thanks to its highend neodymium transducers) with a truly compact form factor. The integrated ‘plug & play’ active power and control system includes DSP presets for rapid setup and amazing sound from a stage monitor of this size.
A ROBUST PARTNER The N12SM is constructed from birch plywood coated with high-resistant Polyurea® and features rubber protective profiles and a 2 mm thick grille to help ensure long-term service, even in the most physically demanding applications.
Every aspect of its form factor has resulted from examination and consideration of optimum acoustic response, ergonomics, construction and appearance. Distinguishing details include the speaker grille, exclusively designed for an attractive appearance, maximum protection, and with the best perforation coefficient in the market, for improved sound quality. The Polyurea® finish provides durable protection for the birch-ply cabinet, and electronic circuits and controls are smartly protected against moisture. The comprehensive control interface includes instantly recallable presets for setting up the N12SM in just a few seconds. The cabinet is designed so that it can be positioned for both standing or seated musicians.
