NLE-1

RRP £2995/pair

The NLE-1 loudspeaker combines the full latent performance potential of our RADIAL cone technology with DSP – delivering a truly exceptional audio experience. 

With its small footprint, it is ideal for smaller control rooms, but it can also be used as part of a larger immersive system, where its resolution allows critical mix decisions to be made with absolute confidence.  

Both the mid/bass and treble drivers are individually controlled by the internal DSP crossover and are powered by a pair of 50W ultra-low-distortion, high-damping-factor Class-D amplifiers.

RADIAL Technology

At the heart of every loudspeaker is our drive mastery. Through pioneering work in the development of loudspeaker diaphragm material science, we have set a new benchmark with the acclaimed RADIAL cone technology: a true revolution in clarity and detail from a loudspeaker drive unit. 

All Harbeth RADIAL drivers are hand-made in the UK at our factory.

A smart approach

With the power and capability of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), our design team has adjusted the smallest of sonic details – delivering the pinnacle of loudspeaker performance. Additionally, we have included a bass enhancer switch – permits an extra octave of bass when playing at lower volumes.

Fatigue-free listening

We have long been known for our natural, non-fatiguing sound and the NLE-1 is no different. These speakers will provide hours of pinpoint imaging and detail without the risk of fatigue.
