PRODUCT RANGE OVERVIEW
M-12 passive/bi-amp stage monitor
The M-12 is a compact, low-profile monitor loudspeaker designed for a wide variety of low to medium SPL
applications. It features a high-power 12” (305mm) reflex loaded neodymium LF driver and a 1.4” (36mm) exit
neodymium HF compression driver on a variable dispersion waveguide. This device produces a coverage pattern
of 90 H x 40 V at one metre, reducing to 50 H x 40 V at three metres. This dispersion pattern allows a performer
freedom of movement at close range whilst minimising spill into adjacent microphones, and effectively increases
the forward throw of the monitor at longer range. These components are matched by an internal asymmetric
passive crossover network for unprecedented sonic quality from a completely passive enclosure. A recessed switch
on the front panel allows the M-12 to be used in biamplified mode if required.
Through the use of two different side angles, the M-12 can be used for normal front-of-stage usage and also as a
close-range drum fill with the steeper angle. As with all EM Acoustics full-range products, no active controller or
programmed EQ is required for correct operation. For demanding applications, a 60Hz high pass filter is
recommended to increase drive unit headroom however this is not essential for normal operation.
The M-12 features steel bar handles, multiple Neutrik Speakon
TM
NL4MP connectors and rugged construction. The
M-12 is available as left or right handed versions to make stage pairs.
