nuLine 264
- Aesthetic floorstanding speaker ideal for music in stereo or multi-channel mode
- Three-way system for more detail and resilience in the bass, mids and trebles
- Pure understatement: 35 Hz bass response for bass foundation with low space requirement
- Elegant and living room-friendly sound column with a timeless look and top sound
- Convincing with sound selector switch, bi-wiring terminal and asymmetrical tweeter
- Made in Germany with clear edges, either nobly lacquered or walnut veneered
Simply more ways
The nuLine 264 is our smallest three-way speaker made in Germany. One metre high and 15 cm wide, it will fit unobtrusively into your living room. In terms of sound, the floorstanding speaker is much more eye-catching and can convince with a 35 Hz bass response thanks to three woofers. The midrange speaker guarantees even more details in speech and instruments, making the nuLine 264 universally applicable for home cinema and hi-fi.
Made for stereo
The three-way system of the nuLine 264 guarantees the "more" detail you've always wanted in music. In combination with a 35 Hz bass response, our floorstanding speaker plays big.
At home in the home cinema
In the home cinema, our three-way centre nuLine CS-174 is an ideal match for the nuLine 264, creating a homogeneous overall picture. This will turn your next film into an experience.
Modern 2.1 Set
The nuLine 264 offers 35 Hz lower crossover frequency. If more bass is b(ä)sser for you, we recommend a model from our nuSub-Series.
Complete in a set
With the matching nuConnect ampX amplifier, the nuLine 264 becomes a customisable and modern system with sufficient power. Our other sets are also more than worth a look.
Details
nuOva tweeter
With the nuLine 264, the tweeter is separated at 2,150 Hz. The nuOva tweeter is a sophisticated high-tech product that has been optimised for minimal resonance. The main reason for this is the damped rear volume chamber, which ensures very fast decay. Your advantage: More details and a clear reproduction of music.
Midrange speaker
The midrange driver of the nuLine 264 works seamlessly below the tweeter in the range from 35 Hz to 23,000 Hz. It uses a flat cone with a compact diameter that combines detailed mids and homogeneous omnidirectional response. Another big advantage is the interaction with the tweeter, which can work even better due to the almost flush surface. Your advantage: impressive voice reproduction with precise localisation.
Woofer
The woofer of the nuLine 264 reproduces the bass part of the music or movie and thus relieves the midrange driver. Longstroke technology in combination with a bass reflex port allows the speaker to reproduce a lower cut-off frequency of 35 Hz at almost full level. Your advantage: controlled and linear bass reproduction at all volumes.
Crossover
The crossover is the control centre and heart of the nuLine 264. Durable components ensure accurate reproduction and linear sound for decades. The switches on the back directly influence the crossover, allowing seamless switching between sound modes[ or direct or dipole mode]. The crossover also features self-resetting fuses that protect the drivers from overload.
Colours
Our nuLine series relies on the high-quality lacquer finishes black and white, which are applied in several layers and sanded again and again for a perfect surface finish with a softline edge. The third option is a real highlight: the real wood veneer in walnut. This makes each model truly unique, just as with our limited Corten Edition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our constantly improving nuLine series.
Design
In the nuLine series, clear shapes with delicate softline curves give the models a timeless elegance. Acoustic considerations are also at the forefront of the design process, as slightly rounded edges ensure less edge dispersion, as does the asymmetrical arrangement of the tweeters. This is matched by the elaborately calculated metal grille, which has hardly any measurable effect on the sound.
Series overview
Our nuLine series is not only Made in Germany, but also committed to honest sound: All speakers reproduce music neutrally and thus exactly as it was recorded. What's more, with 10 models in this series, we have the widest variety for all applications, from wall or ceiling speakers, compact and floorstanding speakers to the Dolby Atmos-certified add-on speaker nuLine RS-54. Low-frequency support is provided for all of them by subwoofers from the nuSub-Series.

Safety Instructions
- Turn off the amplifier before connecting the speaker cables.
- Ensure the speaker cables are securely connected.
- Place the speakers only in a dry location.
- Do not expose the speakers to direct sunlight.
- Overloading: The nuLine 264 features internal fuses to protect against amplifier overload. However, note that even a weak amplifier can endanger a speaker. At high volumes, weak amplifiers tend to distort, which places extreme stress on the tweeters. If the sound becomes distorted at a certain volume level, reduce the amplifier's volume setting.
- Tipping Hazard: Due to its slim design, the nuLine 264 is at risk of tipping sideways. It should never be used without the supplied traverse feet.
Cold Weather and Sound
If speakers are shipped and delivered during the cold season, they must acclimate to room temperature. Low temperatures significantly affect the moving parts of a speaker box, such as the diaphragm/voice coil, surround, and spider. These components' ability to follow rapid vibrations or make large excursions is severely limited. While not dangerous, “deep-frozen” speakers will not perform at their best acoustically. Our advice: If your new speakers arrive on a cold winter day, give them a few hours to acclimate. Your Nubert speakers will reward you with the outstanding sound quality you rightly expect from us.
Caution!
The threaded sockets are for mounting the traverse feet only! They are not designed for tensile loads and must not be used to attach hooks or similar devices for hanging the speakers.
Connection Instructions
Ensure that your amplifier/receiver is turned off before connecting the speakers. Refer to your amplifier/receiver's user manual for specific connection instructions.
Care and Cleaning Tips
Caution!
Improper handling of the speaker may result in damage.
- Turn off your amplifier before cleaning the speaker and disconnect the speaker cables from the terminal if necessary.
- Before resuming operation, ensure that all connections are correct, no short circuits exist, and the speaker is completely dry.
- Never use harsh cleaning agents or solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, or similar substances.
Cabinet
We recommend using a standard glass cleaner sprayed onto a cotton cloth for cleaning. This will effectively remove most fingerprints and dirt. Alternatively, you can use window cleaning foam. Avoid using microfiber cloths as they may cause micro-scratches. For veneered cabinets, we recommend using appropriate furniture care products.
Membranes and Speaker Drivers
Use a lint-free cotton cloth with gentle pressure to remove dust from the speaker driver. The tweeters in all Nubert speakers are protected by a grille and can also be gently wiped clean. For stubborn dust, a makeup brush from a drugstore can be used.

NuLine 264+ NuLine 174+ NuSub XW-800/ XW-900
Ja, was soll ich dazu sagen die Boxen sind erst mal sehr schön und haben eine top Qualität wie alle Produkte von Nubert. Auch wenn ich erst etwas skeptisch war wegen wegen der schlanken Bauweise. Angeschlossen und selbst ohne Einmessung und Anpassung !Wow! was ein Klang absolut sauber und klar nach der Einmessung und Anpassung von Pegel und Abständen in Kombination mit NuLine CS-174, und den NuSubs XW-800 und XW-900 nur genial! Ich hatte vor den NuLine-264 schon gute Boxen aber dass es so einen Unterschied macht hätte ich ja nie gedacht einfach nur Wahnsinn! Also für mich ist ganz klar, dass nur noch Nubert ins Haus kommt! Alleine schon der Service von Nubert den sucht man bei anderen Firmen vergebens! P.S. wenn Ihr mal richtig wissen möchtet, was die Boxen können, dann einfach mal Musik über Pure Direct hören ( nur Front)! Bestellung Irre am 16.05.2024 bestellt und am 17.05.2024 war die Lieferung schon bei mir. Beste Grüße und vielen Dank an das ganze Nubert Team macht weiter so.

nuLine 264
Ich habe meine 20 Jahre alten Audience 72 gegen die nuLine 264 getauscht und hatte schon beim Probehören im Store die Ungeduld in den Ohren, bis die Lautsprecher "endlich" bei mir ankamen (schon nach zwei Tagen im Store abgeholt). Ich hatte schon lange nicht mehr solch einen Spaß beim Musikhören. Die Musik meiner Jugend entdecke ich gerade wieder neu. Die lineare Abstimmung der Lautsprecher offenbart Details in den mir bekannten Musikstücken, die ich längst vergessen habe (oder eher überhört habe). Ich möchte noch positiv hervorheben, dass das Probehören im Store Duisburg eine Freude war. Hier konnte ich in aller Ruhe und ohne dass mich jemand störte (oder mir nebenbei ein Verkaufsgespräch aufzwang) die verschiedenen Lautsprecher anhören. Die abschließende Beratung vor Ort war fachlich und freundlich, so dass ich die richtige Wahl treffen konnte. Das habe ich in vielen anderen "HIFI-Studios" leider so nicht erlebt. Eindeutig eine Stärke des Gesamtpakets von NUBERT.

Nuline 264+CS174
Liebes Nubert Team, nach einer ziemlich langen Odyssee bin ich endlich angekommen. Es fing an mit einer Soundbar von einem anderem Anbieter an, die schon recht ordentlich war. So richtig zufrieden war ich aber nie. Dann habe ich die Nuline 34 mit einem CS-64 bestellt und war sehr beeindruckt, besser, viel besser. Was aus den vergleichsweise kleinen Teilen an Klang rauskommt, ist schon phänomenal. Leider bin ich ziemlich perfektionistisch und wollte natürlich noch mehr, also habe ich nach einem Gespräch mit dem Kundenservice die Nuline 264 + den CS174 bestellt und das wars dann auch. Man hört wirklich jedes Knacken und Knistern. Der Bass ist für unseren Raum perfekt und vor allen dröhnt nichts. Und wieder ließ mein Perfektionismus mir keine Ruhe und ich telefonierte nochmal mit der mit der Kundenberatung telefoniert, weil ich die Nuline 284 testen wollte. Man riet mir wegen der Raumgröße davon ab, weil ich dann wieder Probleme mit Raummoden bekommen würde, die ich ja unbedingt vermeiden wollte. Eigentlich könnte Nubert das ja egal sein, schließlich geht es ja um Geld. Ist es aber nicht und genau schätze ich so an der Firma Nubert. Man versucht eben nicht, den Kunden etwas aufzuschwatzen, sondern bremst auch aus, wenn es zuviel wird und der Kunde sich verrennt. Genau das stelle ich mir unter einer guten Beratung vor. Super, wo gibt es sowas heute noch? Letztlich war das genau die richtige Entscheidung. Ich bleibe bei den Nuline 264 und dem CS-174. Eventuell rüste ich irgendwann nochmal mit zwei Rears auf, mal sehen. Alles in allem bin ich mehr als zufrieden und werde bei der Firma Nubert bleiben! Weiter so!

nuLine 264
[?] Da geht auf jeden Fall noch etwas klanglich zu verbessern. Bedingung waren 2 sehr gute Stereoboxen, sowie entsprechende Rearboxen mit einem Center für die Wiedergabe von Konzerten und Filmen. Unvorstellbar war es allerdings, Boxen zu kaufen, ohne sie vorher Probe gehört zu haben. Letztendlich lieferte die übersichtliche und vor allem informative Webseite, sowie eine kompetente telefonische Beratung den Ausschlag für die Firma Nubert. Dank des schlanken Designs, der hervorragenden technischen Daten und nicht zuletzt durch die Bewertungen fiel die Wahl auf die nuLine 264. Innerhalb einer Woche wurden sie in einer durchdachten Verpackung für einen unversehrten Versand geliefert. Erster Eindruck ist eine äußerst wertige Gehäuseverarbeitung mit praktischem Anschlussterminal, stabilen Metallschutzgitter und massiven kippsicheren und höhenverstellbaren Füßen. Technische Finessen, wie der Klangwahlschalter für die Hochtonwiedergabe und die Möglichkeit der Reduzierung der Basswiedergabe, ebenfalls per Klangschalter zeugen von einer durchdachten und nutzerfreundlichen Ausstattung. [?] Eine umfassende und verständliche Beschreibung und 5 Jahre Garantie runden den Gesamteindruck ab. Ergänzt werden die beiden Frontboxen durch die nuLine 24 und den CS 64. Auf die nuLine 24 treffen die selben Aussagen zu, die ich schon bei den nuLine 264 beschrieben habe und nicht wiederholen möchte. Eine Besonderheit soll aber nicht unerwähnt bleiben. Für eine wunderbar räumliche Wiedergabe sorgt zweiter zuschaltbarer Hochtöner an der Rückseite der Box. Dieser bringt wirklich einen spürbaren Effekt und bleibt bei uns immer zugeschaltet, Klasse. Mit dem Wandhalter WH-N1 lassen sich die nuLine 24 auch an einer Gipskartonwand, entsprechende Dübel vorausgesetzt, anbringen. Die Boxenmontage erfolgt einfach durch anschrauben. Mit dem Wandhalter ist die Anpassung an die unterschiedlichsten Raumverhältnisse möglich (höhenverstell-bar, neig- und schwenkbar). Den 5.0 Sound komplettiert ein CS 64. Getestet haben wir ihn mit dem im November 2020 neu veröffentlichten Pink Floyd Konzert Delicate Sound Of Thunder. Ein aufeinander abgestimmtes Boxensystem mit einem Center, der mit glasklarer Sprachwiedergabe jeden normalen Fernsehfilm aufwertet, ist einfach genial. Dies ist besonders bemerkenswert, da aus räumlichen Gründen nur eine mittig versetze Aufstellung möglich ist. Sofort war klar, die 30 Tage Testgarantie braucht es nicht. Noch ein kleiner Tipp: Wenn Ihr einmal dabei seid prüft, ob nicht auch die Erneuerung der Lautsprecherkabel sinnvoll ist. Das nuCable LS Studioline (inakustik) lässt sich prima verlegen. Es hat sich gelohnt die Boxen über diesen Vertriebsweg zu kaufen. Wenn ein Unternehmen in einer Garage gegründet wurde und noch den Namen des Gründers trägt, kann man nichts falsch machen. Es gibt nur eins zu bereuen, wir hätten es schon viel eher tun sollen! Ein herzliches Dankeschön an das Nubert-Team und weiterhin viel Erfolg.

Box type and recommended use
With its decidedly slim appearance, the nuLine 264 is an attractive alternative for all those who, for aesthetic reasons, have had difficulty with the idea of "floorstanding speakers". However, anyone who thinks that a floorstanding speaker just 15 centimetres wide can hardly produce a veritable deep bass will be amazed to read that the nuLine 264 even reaches the 35 hertz mark in terms of low bass. Almost more impressive, however, is the clarity and naturalness with which the new flat diaphragm midrange driver and the nuOva tweeter reproduce the aurally sensitive mid-high range. Thus, the nuLine 264 presents itself as a visually highly appealing and enormously powerful floorstanding speaker, which, with its peak power handling of 260 watts, cuts an equally good figure in medium-sized hi-fi stereo systems as well as in multi-channel systems with high-end demands. The speakers of the nuLine series are developed in Schwäbisch Gmünd and manufactured according to our specifications at a long-established specialist company for sound furniture construction in Germany.
Construction principle and housing
Three-way floorstanding speaker in bass reflex design. The bass reflex port is located at the rear of the cabinet, which is why the speaker should be placed at least 3 centimetres away from a rear wall. The high sound quality of the nuLine 264 is realised with the filter optimisation of the three-way principle taken from our top series nuVero. In this way, the development team Günther Nubert and Thomas Bien succeeded in significantly increasing the sound purity of conventional three-way designs, especially in the critical mid-range, while at the same time exploiting the fundamental advantage of a more even horizontal dispersion pattern. The very elaborately manufactured cabinet is made of 19 to 38 mm thick veneered or multi-layer lacquered MDF material and is manufactured by an experienced sound furniture specialist in Germany. It has precisely calculated internal stiffeners and damping elements that effectively reinforce the stability of the already quite solid cabinet walls and effectively prevent sound-damaging natural resonances. To ensure that the rear sound components of the woofers and the midrange driver do not interfere with each other, the midrange driver has its own, acoustically precisely tuned inner cabinet. The elegant solid metal crossbar feet give the speaker a filigree appearance and a stable stand.
Tweeter
In the tweeter range, the completely newly developed nuOva tweeter with special sound guidance and a specially damped rear volume chamber is used. Its acoustically optimised sound front makes it possible to further increase the differences in distance between the dome and the cabinet edges compared to the previous asymmetrical Nubert tweeters, which further reduces the edge dispersion in the axial direction and noticeably increases the clarity in the high frequency range. The asymmetrical arrangement of the tweeters means that a "right" and a "left" speaker is always supplied.
Midrange speaker
For the first time Nubert uses a flat diaphragm chassis. At the beginning of the development work, it was confirmed that flat diaphragms were more susceptible to disturbing partial vibrations than similarly sized cone diaphragms. By fine-tuning multi-layer diaphragms that have a honeycomb structure (honeycomb technology), it was possible to shift the disturbing natural resonances step by step to much higher frequency ranges where the radiation is almost completely through the tweeter. Unlike cone speakers, the majority of this optimised midrange driver is flush with the baffle, creating a favourable environment for the adjacent tweeter, which benefits the dispersion characteristics.
Woofer
Another new development is the 12-centimetre long-stroke woofer, three of which are used in the nuLine 264 floorstanding speaker. This high-tech driver, equipped with a double magnet, enables an optimum ratio of large cone excursion, maximum bass response and amplifier-friendly efficiency. The result is a heavy-duty long-stroke woofer with a polypropylene diaphragm that can deflect up to 20 mm in extreme cases. The six woofers of a pair of nuLine 264 together correspond to the diaphragm area of a respectable subwoofer, which makes it clear why this speaker has such a powerful bass foundation. Furthermore, the vertical arrangement of the woofers reduces the occurrence of room resonances (technical term "modes") between the floor and the ceiling.
Crossover
When it comes to filter technology, the crossover of the nuLine 264 is a masterpiece in itself. Here, the signals arriving from the amplifier are divided into three frequency ranges with particular precision using special crossover technology, while the drivers receive their final sonic polish via sophisticated compensation circuits.
In order to be able to realise the quality demands typical of Nubert, no less than 35 high-quality components were necessary, including tightly toleranced foil capacitors in the midrange and treble range. The low crossover frequency at 2.2 kHz frees the midrange driver from higher frequencies and, in conjunction with the deliberately small design, ensures an exceptionally wide dispersion pattern. An efficient protection circuit watches over the safety of the drivers and the crossover. If there is a risk of thermal overload, it cuts the amplifier current and automatically returns to normal operation once the danger has passed.
Switching options
The upper switch between the terminals of the terminal allows a threefold modification of the high-frequency range from "soft" to "neutral" to "brilliant", which allows the speaker to be individually adapted to different living rooms with more or less textile sound damping or personal listening preferences. With the second tone selector switch, the bass level can be moderately lowered. This switch variant ensures that an undesired increase in the bass level can be compensated for when the speaker is placed close to a wall.
Connection terminal
The extremely solid, gold-plated screw terminals of the bi-wiring terminal are also suitable for cables with a very large cross-section. Bi-wiring terminals allow the tweeter and low/midrange to be connected separately to the amplifier. This is a measure that can prevent sound loss with long cable lengths. In addition, the sound selector switches described above are located on the terminal.
