Compact loudspeakers of the reference class
nuZeo stands for active loudspeakers at an uncompromising premium level. Acoustic esprit and visual elegance at their best.
The nuZeo 4 is an impressive example of how proven technology can be raised to an unprecedented level through consistent precision work. If you are short on space, you can still make your audiophile dream come true with our nuZeo 4 two-way compact loudspeaker. Exquisite ingredients such as a tweeter with a synthetic silk cone and a bass-midrange driver with a carbon cone are the hallmarks of this exceptional transducer. Powerful 320 watts of rated power enable an emphatic drive even in larger listening rooms.
Compact sound culture
Stereo connoisseurs who were previously skeptical of compact, fully active wireless loudspeakers can now rethink: The nuZeo 4 with its sophisticated chassis technology and low-vibration housing impresses in two-channel mode with sophistication, detail and dynamics.
Wireless multi-channel sound
With its top-quality sound, the nuZeo 4 is ideal as a front speaker in smaller high-performance home cinemas. Together with other nuZeo speakers, the experience of movies or concerts becomes an intense reality - even wirelessly thanks to X-Connect Surround. A subwoofer can also be integrated wirelessly to unleash even more bass power.
Variable placement
The nuZeo 4 is just as individual in its placement as it is in its sound reproduction. It can be placed on a piece of furniture with or without the supplied truss feet, or placed directly on the floor with the optional nuZeo 4 stand. The adjustable truss feet always provide optimum stability.
Full control
Our nuControl X high-end preamplifier opens the door to even more extensive possibilities for fine-tuning the sound. This creates the optimum framework for music playback from almost any conceivable source. The streamer integrated in the nuControl X processor completes the modern high-end setup.
Details
Design and housing
The cabinets of our nuZeo speakers set accents with their elegant shapes and high recognition value. The appearance is enhanced by a surface of multi-layered, high-quality piano lacquer - optionally in black or white. This design with harmonious, rounded shapes contrasts interestingly with the elegant aluminum rings used for the chassis mounting and sound guide. The special appearance of the carbon fiber cones completes the overall picture. Inside the cabinets, everything is done for perfect acoustics - with resonance-optimized bracing and strategically positioned damping.
Woofer
The carbon woofer of the nuZeo 4 has a high visual recognition value. The concave shape without dust protection dome enables a particularly tidy appearance and at the same time benefits a more precise acoustic performance. The double-layer carbon cones with highly damping polymer coating offer an ideal mix of rigidity and low resonance. In order to be able to enjoy music with great transparency even at high maximum dynamics, we rely on a powerful balanced-force magnet system and a particularly flow-optimized basket design.
Tweeter
The continuous evolution of silk dome tweeters from almost five decades of experience at Nubert has reached a new peak with nuZeo. The tweeter of the nuZeo loudspeakers impresses with uncompromising resolution, optimum broadband and outstanding dynamics. To ensure that these characteristics are consistently of the highest quality, we have selected artificial silk (Tetoron) as the cone material. The cotton fiber damped rear chamber also ensures a clean frequency response in the aurally sensitive lower treble range. A defined sound guide and an acoustically optimized protective grille also ensure a tidy front design.
Integrated amplifier module
Every nuZeo speaker impresses with an amplifier module featuring state-of-the-art digital technology. It provides enormous power reserves and scores with a very compact design and impeccable efficiency. The frequency response of the drivers is also perfected using a digital signal processor (DSP) of the latest generation.
Connection options and X-Connect Surround
For comprehensive connectivity, nuZeo loudspeakers have both analogue and digital inputs via RCA or XLR. nuZeo active loudspeakers are also able to receive sound signals with X-Connect Surround and transmit them to each other to enable suitable integration into wireless home cinema systems. Flexible positioning is combined with minimal cabling - this is the future of high-quality sound enjoyment. Find out more!
X-Remote App und X-Room Calibration
The Nubert X-Remote app on your smartphone offers full control over our nuZeo speakers at all times and enables flexible configuration and access to the entire range of functions. For clear & rich bass reproduction at the listening position, the X-Remote app can be used to perform automatic X-Room Calibration (room calibration in the frequency range from 20 to 160 Hz). We offer an optional external measuring microphone for Android devices. The built-in microphone can be used with iOS devices.
Construction
The nuZeo 4 is designed as a 2-way loudspeaker in which the transition between the woofer and tweeter is deliberately set low in order to achieve ideal dispersion characteristics of the loudspeaker. The woofers are additionally supported by a generously dimensioned and aerodynamically double-rounded bass reflex tube located at the rear of the cabinet. This guarantees unrestrained dynamics in the bass range too.
Acoustically pure down to the last detail
Sound-damaging interference effects between the paths are significantly reduced thanks to low-frequency and steep-edged filtering of the crossover ranges. Filters with phase-accurate Linkwitz-Riley characteristics, together with the low crossover frequency from midrange to treble, result in a significant broadening of the dispersion characteristics - both vertically and horizontally. The optimum listening position is therefore not limited to a single point in the room (sweet spot), but extends over a wide listening area - your advantage in everyday listening practice.
Truss feet
The compact speaker nuZeo 4 also features high-quality cross feet made of powder-coated die-cast aluminum for the best stability. Unevenness is compensated with a targeted "turn" from above by the four generously sized knurled screws with lock nuts. The spikes of the cross feet can also be covered with four discs if necessary, to effectively protect sensitive surfaces. Alternatively, a perfectly matching stand is also available.
Series overview
Our nuZeo series consists of four models and is our uncompromisingly designed active loudspeaker top series. The nuZeo 4, 11 and 15 models are ideal for creating reference-quality stereo and multi-channel systems. With the nuZeo 6c universal loudspeaker, surround systems of the highest sound quality can also be set up. Matching stands and wall brackets complete the portfolio.

Safety Instructions
The entire operating manual, in particular the safety instructions, must be read in full before connecting and commissioning the device. For your own safety, be sure to follow all warnings and safety instructions in this manual and on the speaker. The user is not permitted to carry out any work on the loudspeaker other than the described work. Keep this document so that you have access to it at all times. Furthermore, it must also be handed over to possible re-owners.
Intended Use
This speaker is designed exclusively for sound reproduction in dry rooms. Use the speaker only as described in this manual. Any other use (particularly safety-relevant or medical use, installation in open environment like IP-certified products) is considered improper and may result in property damage or even personal injury. Nubert electronic GmbH does not assume any liability for damages caused by improper use.
General Information
- Never operate the loudspeaker unattended!
Danger of Electric Shock!
To avoid the risk of electric shock, the speaker may not be opened by the user. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the speaker. Service work and repairs are reserved for qualified specialists authorized by Nubert. If you need service, please contact Nubert electronic GmbH directly (info@nubert.de)!
Danger of Suffocation!
Never let children use or play with the speaker, remote control, or packaging unattended. There is a risk that children will get caught in the packaging film and suffocate. Make sure that children cannot remove any small parts from the devices! These parts, like the remote control battery, could be swallowed and cause suffocation. In case of swallowing any parts, contact a doctor immediately!
Danger of Injury or Damage!
When moving the speaker, take care to avoid injury and damage!
Caution!
Since the speaker can only be completely disconnected from the mains at the mains input on the rear of the unit or by pulling the mains plug from the socket, it must be positioned so that you have free access to the mains input or mains plug. If any of the following situations occurs, the loudspeaker must be switched off immediately and disconnected from the mains. Contact Nubert electronic GmbH (info@nubert.de) immediately!
- The speaker has been damaged or has fallen down.
- Power cord or plug is damaged.
- Objects or liquid have gotten into the loudspeaker.
- The speaker has been exposed to excessive moisture or rain.
- The speaker does not work properly or exhibits a significant reduction in performance.
- The loudspeaker smells burnt, develops smoke, or makes unusual noises.
Only use accessories recommended by Nubert!
Installation Instructions
Caution!
An unstable location can damage the speaker.
- Only place the loudspeaker on a flat, stable surface and make sure that it cannot be knocked over!
- Also make sure that no unintentional pulling can occur on the cables to avoid knocking over the speaker or damaging the connection sockets!
- Keep strong mechanical shocks away from the loudspeaker!
Caution!
Excessive heat build-up inside the unit can shorten its service life or lead to fire.
- Never cover the back of the speaker! Make sure that there is a clearance of at least 10 cm and sufficient air circulation in the back area!
- Do not operate the speaker near heat sources such as radiators or stoves!
- Do not expose the speaker to direct sunlight.
- Never place burning candles or similar open fire sources on the loudspeaker!

- near flammable gases or vapors!
- near strong dust!
- near flammable materials!
Danger of Electric Shock!
The loudspeaker carries mains voltage and voltages higher than 35 V AC or DC inside. It has no special protection against the intrusion of liquids or objects into the system. There is therefore a risk of lethal electric shock.
- Never touch the speaker with wet hands!
- Only use the speaker in a dry place!
- Do not operate it outdoors or in damp rooms!
- The loudspeaker must be protected from liquids of all kinds, including dripping and splashing water.
- Do not place any containers containing liquids (e.g. flower vases) on the speaker or in the immediate vicinity!
- If the loudspeaker is moved from a cold environment to a warm room, condensation may form inside the unit. Wait at least six hours until the loudspeaker has reached room temperature and is dry before switching it on!
- No objects of any kind may get into the device.
- Should the loudspeaker come into contact with liquids or should objects have gotten inside, please unplug the mains plug immediately and contact Nubert electronic GmbH (info@nubert.de)!
Danger of Injury or Damage!
For speakers with threaded bushings on the underside:
- The threaded bushings may be used for upright mounting of the loudspeaker on suitable base plates or feet only.
- The threaded bushings on the underside of the loudspeaker enclosures are not designed for tensile loads and must therefore not be used as holders for hooks or similar devices in order to suspend the loudspeaker cabinet.
- A falling speaker may cause serious injury and damage.
Connection Instructions
General Connection Instructions
- Disconnect the mains plug before changing any wiring on the system!
- Make sure that all connections have been made correctly and that all plugs are firmly seated in the sockets before connecting the speaker to the mains.
- Use only the intended cables or plug connections for the connections! Failure to do so may result in damage or malfunction.
- If you want to disconnect connections on the loudspeaker, always pull the plug, never the cable!
- Ensure that all plugs are firmly seated in the sockets!
- Only use cables and accessories recommended by Nubert!
Danger of Electric Shock!
- Faulty mains supply systems or excessive mains voltage can lead to electric shocks.
- All power supply or antenna systems connected to the loudspeaker must comply with all applicable laws and regulations and be professionally installed by an approved installation company.
- Use only the appropriate power cord to connect the speaker. Do not modify the power cord or its plug.

Caution!
Overvoltage in the power supply system (e.g., due to lightning) can damage or destroy the device and power supply unit.
- An overvoltage protection element can provide a certain degree of protection against excessively high voltages in the power grid.
- However, the greatest possible protection against damage can only be achieved with the complete separation from the mains supply. In case of thunderstorms or danger of lightning strikes, disconnect the mains cable from the socket and any antenna plugs from your hi-fi system!
- If the speaker is not used for a long period of time or is unattended, the power supply should be disconnected. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket!
Care and Cleaning Tips
Caution!
Improper handling of the speaker may result in damage.
- Always unplug the speaker before cleaning it!
- Before recommissioning, make sure that all connections are correct, that there are no short circuits, and that the speaker is completely dry.
- Never use strong cleaning agents or solvents such as petrol, spirit, or similar!
Enclosure
We recommend commercial window cleaner sprayed onto a cotton cloth. This allows almost all fingerprints and dust to be easily removed. Alternatively, you can also use window active foam.
Note: We advise against the use of microfibre cloths! These can cause mini scratches in the surface.
Diaphragms and Speaker Chassis
To remove dust from a loudspeaker chassis, a lint-free cotton cloth is sufficient to wipe the membrane lightly with very little pressure.

Kein Schnäppchen aber jeden Cent wert!!!
Ich wollte nur zum Probehören nach Schwäbisch Gmünd. Nupro 4000 / 6000 und NuZeo 4 hatte ich auf meiner „Hörliste“. Das Thema war eigentlich schon nach 5 Minuten entschieden. Die Art und Weise wie die NuZeo die Nupros (sind ja wirklich auch nicht schlecht) deklassiert war gigantisch. Die erheblich detailliertere Darstellung der Höhen und der Feinheiten der Instrumente ist beeindruckend. Und nebenbei beherrscht sie auch noch die tiefen Töne in einer Art und Weise, die manche Standbox so nicht packt, phänomenal. Jetzt habe ich 2 Exemplare zuhause und bin begeistert, auch wenn ich „nur“ die analogen Eingänge nutze. Für die Einrichtung ist das Studium der Anleitung auf jeden Fall notwendig, das geht nicht so fix von der Hand. Schön wäre jetzt noch eine Fernbedienung, aber das ist Jammern auf extrem hohen Niveau. Klare Kaufempfehlung, auch wenn man hier vielleicht beim Preis etwas zuckt, aber es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Die Klangqualität ist mehr als top!

The purist way to enjoy sound
Our premium nuZeo active speakers are designed for one purpose: To deliver crystal clear, detailed, authentic sound unlike anything else in its class. So no matter which nuZeo speaker you choose, the best possible acoustic performance is always included in the price.
The perfect complement – for maximum convenience and practical benefits
Of course, all our nuZeo speakers can be used as a complete solution. This means you just plug in a player and you're ready to go. However, there are a few steps involved in setting up and managing the nuZeo. If you are looking for a particularly easy-to-use system with many innovative features, we recommend our high-end nuControl X preamplifier or the extremely versatile nuXinema preAV preamplifier.
Nubert nuControl X
Experience your own personal 'Finale Furioso' every day with nuControl X. Our high-end preamplifier is ideal in every way for working with the wireless active speakers of our nuZeo series. The fully streamable preamp comes with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and Roon Ready certification, as well as an elegant finish and large display.

It also includes a fully parametric seven-band EQ, a variable high-pass filter and a dynamic soundness circuit. In short, a 'perfect match'. Or, as we say, our Swabian dream team.
Nubert nuXinema preAV
The compact jack-of-all-trades has it all. Its small, elegant enclosure conceals an ultra-flexible, state-of-the-art preamplifier that can handle both wired and wireless active loudspeakers (or power amplifiers). From stereo to classic multichannel to advanced multichannel 3D audio, the nuXinema preAV handles it all with ease. This means that if you start with a nuZeo stereo setup, but later get a taste for surround sound and want to expand accordingly, all you need to do is add the nuZeo speakers and your nuXinema preAV is ready for use in a surround setup. And there are plenty of connections, including HDMI. So invest in the future with a combination of nuZeo and our nuXinema preAV.
The result is right – in every way
No matter which version you choose: Everything has been extensively tested by us and found to be very good – everything is 'Nubert-proof', so to speak, and just waiting to give you a great performance at home.
