DESCRIPTION
The Altec Lansing MlOO and MIOOT are extremely
compact high-performance monitor loudspeaker sys­
tems. They are ideally suited for indoor or outdoor
applications requiring high-quality sound reproduction.
As a near-field monitor in control rooms or broadcast
studios, or as a foreground or background loudspeaker
in restaurants and clubs, they are the choice of profes­
sional users. The MlOO has a 4 ohm impedance and the
Ml OOT includes an internal 70.7 /100 volt transformer for
use in distributed loudspeaker systems. Their high
power handling also makes them suitable for nearfield
monitoring in live performance situations. Threaded
inserts in the cabinet in combination with the optional
mounting hardware provide a flexible mounting system
for virtually any application. The low-frequency section
is a
5V a '
direct radiating woofer with a polypropylene
cone installed in an optimally vented high-impact
polystyrene enclosure. This combination produces
extended bciss response with relatively high efficiency
for a small enclosure. The use of plastic materials for
the enclosure and cone allow the loudspeaker system
to be used in high-humidity environments. The high-fre­
quency section is a r direct-radiating soft dome tweet­
er. The tweeter is ferro-fluid cooled eind uses flexible
tinsel lead wires to prevent thermal or mechanical
failure. These features in addition to the large magnetic
system make this the most rugged tweeter ever used in
a system this size. To prevent loudspeaker failure from
being accidently over-driven, independent woofer and
tweeter protection circuits have been incorporated.
These circuits will automatically reduce the power being
delivered to the drivers if their threshold is exceeded,
greatly reducing the possibility of driver failure. Both
drivers feature low-flux-leakage designs enabling the
speaker to be used in close proximity to video monitors.
For very critical video monitoring applications, a mini­
mum distance of four inches from the edge of the
loudspeaker to the edge of the CRT is recommended.
