Neat Momentum 4i Speaker Pair
The Momentum 4i is a full range 2.5-way iso-baric floorstanding design which uses four drive units in each enclosure. Iso-baric loading is a familiar feature on Neat loudspeakers, this being our favoured system for delivering exemplary bass performance. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry and rosenut, though other finishes are available to special order.
The iso-baric principle is exploited in quite a radical way in the design of the Momentum 4i, which features two 6.5″ bass drive units in an integral subwoofer arrangement (this part of the system is hidden from view). An ‘Ultimatum’ type bass/midrange main driver then handles frequencies up to the crossover point, where the latest version of our ‘NMT’ inverted titanium dome tweeter, with its extended HF response, takes over.

All of the drive units used in the Momentum models are custom-made to Neat Acoustics’ specifications. The close tolerance capacitors and chokes used in the hardwired crossover networks are, likewise, made to our exacting requirements by leading UK suppliers. All of this technology is presented in attractive, room-friendly cabinets in a variety of finishes to match any décor. More importantly, the Momentum loudspeakers are capable of delivering a compelling musical experience where it really matters – in the listening room.

Neat Momentum 3i Speaker Pair
The Momentum 3i is a compact 2-way iso-baric bookshelf/standmount design, measuring 38 x 22 x 27cm (hwd). Don’t be fooled by this unassuming modesty – this is
a real heavyweight contender with giant-killing credentials. Here, the benefits of iso-baric bass loading combine with the significant virtues of a compact enclosure – to magnificent effect. All of the drive units used in the Momentum models are custom-made to Neat Acoustics’ specifications. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry and rosenut, though other finishes are available to special order.

Neat Elite SX Speaker Pair
The ELITE SX delivers genuine audio performance from a discreet and attractive enclosure by means of unorthodox thinking and the ingenious implementation of some unusual ideas. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry, walnut, rosenut and black ash.
Unlike most bass reflex designs, the ELITE SX incorporates an innovative staggered port tuning design. This carefully judged system delivers a very convincing full-bodied bass performance, far more impressive than might be expected for such a small enclosure. The cabinet is raised above a plinth of solid slate, chosen for its superior bass control and midrange precision.
More Details
The main drive unit is the latest version of that used in the upmarket Ultimatum range; a 6.5” doped paper cone with a ferrite magnet assembly and a fixed aluminium phase plug to enable smooth integration with the tweeter. The tweeter used in the SX is a soft-fabric dome type with internal damping and a non-resonant chamber. The choice of tweeter is critical, because the tweeter lends the whole speaker its essential character and integrity. In this context, the tweeter’s strengths of superb dynamic contrast and accurate tonal colour are well matched to those of the main drive unit.
As with all Neat loudspeakers, the crossover is the result of painstaking development. We prefer to judge all aspects of tuning & voicing by ear, rather than referring to measurements. The crossover in the Elite SX is a simple, hard-wired 3–element type. Low-loss air-core inductors are employed, as well as high-grade polypropylene capacitors. All crossover components are specified to be within very tight tolerances in order to ensure excellent pair matching.

Neat Petite SX Speaker Pair
The PETITE SX is the latest development of a classic loudspeaker which began life in 1989. A small two-way bass reflex design, it is capable of exceptional bass extension and drive, and a remarkable presentation of all types of music. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry, walnut, rosenut and black ash.
The main drive unit is the latest version of that used in the upmarket Ultimatum range; a 6.5” doped paper cone with a ferrite magnet assembly and vented voice coil to enable high power handling without compression. The tweeter used in the SX is a soft-fabric dome type with internal damping and a non-resonant chamber.

The choice of tweeter is critical, because the tweeter lends the whole speaker its essential character and integrity. In this context, the tweeter’s strengths of superb dynamic contrast and accurate tonal colour are well matched to those of the main drive unit.
The enclosure is rigidly constructed from MDF and is tuned by a rear firing reflex port. The internal crossover network uses highest quality close-tolerance components and all connections are soldered. Bi-wire connectors are provided, and further performance gains can be made with bi-amplified operation. The Petite is intended for placement on rigid stands and can be used close to walls or in free space.

Neat Motive 3 Speaker Pair
In common with Neat’s earlier stand mount models, the Motive 3 once again raises the standard of sound quality expected from a speaker of this size and price. Ideal for use in smaller spaces or as a rear speaker in a multi-channel system, this speaker has an open and strikingly clear sound with faithful dynamics and a focussed stereo image. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry and rosenut, though other finishes are available to special order.

Neat Motive 2 Speaker Pair
At only 76cm high, the Motive 2 is an exceptionally compact floorstander for those who want all the musical performance of a Neat floorstander without taking over the living room. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry and rosenut, though other finishes are available to special order.
The Motive 2 is a two-way, bass reflex design with the same port and plinth arrangement as the Motive One. The plinth offers a stable platform for the speaker whilst providing a slight backward tilt to maintain the ideal angle for optimum performance. In common with its bigger brother, the Motive Two surprises with its astonishing bass and beautifully open mid range.

Neat Motive 1 Speaker Pair
Although this is the taller of the two floorstanders in the Motive range, the Motive 1 is nevertheless a compact and elegant model. It will blend discreetly into your living room whilst its performance gives little away to larger and more expensive models.
This loudspeaker uses a two and half-way configuration where the lower unit reproduces bass to underpin the full-range bass-mid driver. The bass reflex port is fitted to the bottom panel of the cabinet and is vented through an outlet in the stylishly sculpted MDF plinth. Standard finishes are oak, maple, cherry and rosenut, though other finishes are available to special order.
More Details
The tweeter is the outstanding unit used throughout the Motive range which features a huge magnet assembly and a 25mm inverted titanium dome. This type of tweeter is usually only found in expensive high-end loudspeakers and is therefore an exceptional inclusion to the Motive designs. In spite of the compact dimensions, the Motive One manages to accurately reproduce genuinely low bass notes with spacious and well-focussed stereo imagery.
