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 neodymium 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 a hex-punched steel grille backed by acoustically transparent black foam.
