M1D specifications

1. The low-frequency power response

of the system will increase according
to the length of the array.

2. Recommended maximum operating

frequency range. Response depends
on loading conditions and room
acoustics.

3. Free field, measured with 1/3 octave

frequency resolution at 4 meters.

4. Measured with music at 1 meter.
5. At these frequencies, the transducers

produce equal sound pressure levels.

6. To eliminate interference at short

wavelengths, the two 5-inch
drivers work in combination at low
frequencies (60 Hz – 1000 Hz). At
mid frequencies (1000 Hz – 1900
Hz) only one cone driver is fed from
the crossover to maintain optimal
polar and frequency response
characteristics.

7. Power handling is measured under

AES standard conditions: transducer
driven continuously for two hours
with band-limited noise signal having
a 6 dB peak-average ratio.

8. The three drivers are coupled to a

constant-directivity horn.

9. Wattage rating is based on the

maximum unclipped burst sine-
wave rms voltage that the amplifier
will produce into the nominal load
impedance. Low channel: 30 V rms (42
V pk); high channel: 27 V rms (38 V pk)

10. No automatic turn-off voltages.

Voltages above 264 V AC are fuse
protected but may cause permanent
damage to the power supply.
Voltages below 90 V AC may result in
intermittent operation.

11. Current draw for a single loudspeaker.

Loop out not used.

The loudspeaker shall be a self-powered, full-range system
for deployment in vertical curvilinear array systems. The low-
frequency transducers shall consist of two 5-inch cone drivers
with 1-inch voice coil. The high-frequency transducers shall
be three 0.75-inch metal dome tweeters coupled via a custom
manifold to a 100° horizontal constant directivity horn.

The loudspeaker shall incorporate internal processing elec-
tronics and a two-channel amplifier. Processing functions
shall include equalization, phase correction, driver protection
and signal division for the high- and low-frequency sections.
The crossover point (equal sound pressure levels between
high and low frequency transducers) shall be 1900 Hz. An
additional passive low-frequency crossover shall cause
the two low-frequency transducers to work in combination
between 60 and 1000 Hz, with only one working between
1000 Hz and 1900 Hz, to maintain optimal polar response
characteristics.

Each amplifier channel shall be class AB/bridged with
complementary MOSFET output stages. Burst capability shall

Notes:

be 500 watts total. Distortion (THD, IM, TIM) shall not exceed
0.02%. Protection circuits shall include peak and rms limit-
ing. The audio input shall be electronically balanced with a
10 kOhm impedance and accept a nominal 0 dBV (1 V rms, 1.4
V pk) signal (+20 dBV to produce maximum SPL). Connectors
shall be XLR (A-3) type male and female. RF filtering shall
be provided, and CMRR shall be greater than 50 dB (80 dB,
50 – 500 Hz).

Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall
be as follows, measured at 1/3 octave resolution: Operating
frequency range shall be 60 Hz to 18 kHz. Phase response
shall be ±45° from 800 Hz to 12 kHz. Maximum SPL shall be
125 dB at 1 m. Beamwidth shall be 100° horizontal. Vertical
coverage in multi-cabinet arrays shall be dependent on
system configuration; for a single cabinet, the minimun shall
be 10°.

The internal power supply shall perform automatic voltage
selection, EMI filtering, and surge suppression. Powering
requirements shall be nominal 90 V AC to 264 V AC line cur-

rent at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. UL and CE operating voltage range
shall be 100 V AC to 240 V AC. Current draw during burst
shall be 5 A rms at 115 V AC, 2.5 A rms at 230 V AC and

not exceed 15 A at 115 V. AC power connectors shall be
PowerCon with looping output.

The loudspeaker system shall incorporate the electronics
module for Meyer Sound’s RMS remote monitoring system.

All loudspeaker components shall be mounted in an
enclosure constructed of multi-ply hardwood with a
black textured finish. The front protective grille shall be
