Mix and Match: NL Series network loudspeakers are built on the same design principles as the Q-SYS AcousticDesign™ Series, featuring a sleek, unobtrusive design along with the same sonic characteristics that allow integrators to mix-and-match form factors to fit the unique needs of any space.

Go Easy: NL Series network loudspeakers are powered-over-Ethernet (PoE), which means native Q-SYS audio data, power and control and are delivered over a single cable, greatly simplifying installation and deployment while reducing rack space requirements.
