Usher Audio Nereo ND-5

The voice of the Aegean Sea God

The name Nereo originates from Nereus, the Sea God of the Aegean Sea in Greek mythology, who is honored as the "Old Man of the Sea". Renowned for his wisdom, prophetic abilities, and infinite power, he embodies gentleness and magnificent power.

True to its name, Nereo ND-5 transcends natural epic, where its sound is like the ocean - capable of gentle whisper or tumultuous roars. Nereo ND-5 possesses this diverse quality, like the Sea God himself: unfathomable and mesmerizing, reaching into listeners’ soul.

Streamline Artistic Craftsmanship

The unique side-curved uses premium birch, compressed and molded through a low-frequency Cold Pressed technique. This process of pressing is extremely time-consuming to ensures even and consistent pressure and temperature, resulting in smooth lines of wood curvatures. It is an exquisite and elegant artistical visual presentation. The scientifically designed internal structure and acoustic damping materials eliminates unwanted harmonic resonance and wave interferences, creating pure soundstages and resolving bass response.

Precise Sound-stage

The thick and elegant semi-circular curved front baffle adopts the MTM (Mid-Tweeter-Mid) configuration developed by Dr. D'Appolito. The slight tilt angle produces phrase correct imaging, wider sound-staging and focusing.

Premium Internal Wirings

Low-Pass crossover- Linear-crystal oxygen-free copper conductors (OCC) excels rich and warm mid-low frequency responses. High-Pass crossover: Silver-plated solid single-core conductors with Teflon isolations reduce distortion, excels uncolored and unrestricted high frequencies. Teflon coating protects conductors from oxidation, significantly extending longevity.

Driver Technology Optimization

Next generation sandwich composite DMD diamond tweeter has been further improved. The high-rigidity DMD diaphragm is ultra-lightweight, frequency response reaching up to 40 kHz. The neodymium magnet is arranged in a ring to increase magnetic flux density further enhances efficiency and overall magnetic circuit performance. A unique shorter circuit ring design ensures rapid transient response. The tweeter's micro-arc panel is CNC precision-carved fine-tuning sound wave dispersion angle, improving high-frequency directionality, reducing frequency band interferences, approaching near perfect low-distortion performance and micro-fine details.

The mid to mid-bass driver uses the same 7-inch as in the flagship Grand Tower speakers. Its diaphragm is made of German-selected compressed wool wood fiber composite material with proprietary surface damping coatings reducing distortion, provides excellent dynamics and withstands higher SPL.
