M-12
active/passive low-profile monitor enclosure
Description
The M-12 is a natural progression from the proprietary M-12s monitor
developed for Sound by Design, and as such sets new standards for
compact, powerful monitor loudspeakers.
Ultimate
Flexibility
The M-12 can be used in either biamp or passive operation, selectable
via a recessed switch on the front panel. The internal crossover
circuitry is a derivative of the UniPhase design common to the EMS
series, and as such is free from the time-smearing often associated
with passive products.
Construction
The CNC-machined enclosure is constructed from 18mm (3/4")
multi-laminate Finnish Birch ply, and contains a high-power 12"
(305mm) vented LF driver and a 3" diaphragm, 1.4" exit
HF compression driver on a differential dispersion waveguide. This
waveguide produces a coverage pattern of 90°H x 40°V at
1 metre, reducing to 50°H x 40°V at three metres.
Standard
features and rigging
Include flush steel bar handles, non-slip recessed rubber feet and
three different connection points fitted with two Neutrik Speakon
NL4 connectors each. The enclosure is finished in black semi-matt
textured paint (colours optional) and the front is protected by
an acoustic foam/expanded steel mesh grille.
The
M-12 is also available as the M-12P (fixed passive) and M-12B (fixed
biamp) versions.
