M2
The M2 is a high performance 2-way active monitor system using
two 12" LF drivers in an airflow-optimised bass-reflex cabinet. It
contains a 1.4" HF driver using a compact but extremely strong
neodymium magnet assembly, mounted on a low distortion horn
optimized for monitor applications. The design allows the use of a
low height cabinet while achieving a constant directivity from an
unusual 600 Hz upwards with a nominal dispersion of 45° (h) x 60°
(v). Together with the cabinets baffle angle of 40° (to floor), this
dispersion offers a realistic artist listening area starting directly
above the cabinet and ranging for quite a distance upstage.
The M2 is driven actively using the A1 mainframe with M2
controller module. Two M2 cabinets can be driven from one A1
mainframe.
The M2 cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and has an
impact resistant paint finish. The cabinet is protected by a rigid
metal grill backed with an acoustically transparent foam. Two
fittings which accept Ball-lock shackle pins are located on both
sides of the cabinet allowing quick and flexible rigging. Fitted on
the rear panel are two CA-COM connectors allowing linking of
paired cabinets.
The M2, as a 2-way high performance monitor producing a remarkable
peak sound pressure level of 143 dB  the most powerful d&b system so
far, provides a constant directivity which raises the feedback level
significantly and gives very direct voice reproduction. The M2 bestows
its full dynamics across the entire frequency range without compromising
the solo voices or instruments, which always stay clearly and audibly in
front of the mix.
For applications which require deep bass, the LF response can be
extended by using additional active subwoofer system C7-SUB.
