| Specifically designed for mounting on or above the
meter bridge on the console, the trapezoidal M1 has
a frequency response tailored to compensate for the
interference effects in the low and mid frequency
regions caused by the console surface. It is the very
first monitor to even approach a flat response in this
complex and specific application, and provides
dramatic improvements to the engineering
environment in virtually any kind of control room.
Due to an excellent phase response, the stereo field
is of a clarity and precision absolutely essential to
accurate mixing, and the M1 can comfortably
generate the kind of levels and frequency response
normally associated with much larger systems.
The M1 is a "High Energy" monitor, and every
component has been designed for both quality of
reproduction and extreme reliability.
Each driver can comfortably handle 1000W transient
with no degradation of signal or components, leading to an outstanding dynamic response when coupled with
suitable amplifier. Distortion products are typically 15dB lower than so called reference monitors in current use - ensuring that the soundfield is highly accurate, and that "ear fatigue" is virtually eliminated.
APPLICATIONS
As the result of a long-term research project,
analyzing the essential requirements of engineers
working for long periods of time at high levels in
front of a mixing console, the M1 is targeted first and foremost, at music mixing applications.
The M1 is a quality reference tool which can
transform almost any large console monitoring
environment into one worthy of the digital era.
Frequency response is 50Hz to 20Hz, and long
terms SPLs of 122dB can be achieved at 1.25m.
When coupled with one or two Dynaudio Acoustics
subwoofers, the M1 is transformed into a full
blooded main monitoring system which is flat from
35Hz to 20Hz, and is capable of delivering very high
SPLs in mixing position.
MAIN FEATURES
- Unique linear phase and frequency response.
- Every monitor matched to any other monitor
within ±1.5dB.
- High efficiency soft dome tweeter with aluminium
voice coil.
- Dual 150mm magnesium silicate impregnated
polypropylene (MSP) bass drivers with exceptionally
large 75mm aluminium voice coils, offering dramatic
improvements in power handling, bass response and
distortion figures over conventional systems.
- Gold plated professional binding posts accepting
heavy-gauge speaker cable.
- Heavy internal damping for minimum cabinet resonance.
- Thermal protection of the tweeter.
