How reliable are Onsia speakers?
Reliability is absolutely paramount — no one wants to have to re-plaster a wall if something were to go wrong. NXT technology is inherently maintenance free. As the exciter is only moving fractions of a millimeter, the mechanical stresses are far less than with the drive unit of a conventional speaker. Equally, the technology has no cone surround or suspension that can fail due to material fatigue. The unit does contain a moving coil, and it is possible to overdrive this like any other speaker by applying too much power for too long. However Onsia’s protective, self-resetting polyswitches are built into each speaker, thus eliminating “blown” speakers due to overpowering or signal spikes. This virtually eliminates the risk of failure due to abuse, so your Onsia products should last a lifetime.
