ADVANCED M SERIES TECHNOLOGY IN A VERSATILE PACKAGE

The Meyer Sound MILO is the same width as the M3D-Sub directional subwoofer, though much smaller in other dimensions. This matched width affords seamless configuration of combined MILO/M3D-Sub arrays for extension of low frequency bandwidth and headroom. The combination also exhibits Meyer Sound’s proprietary low-frequency directional control, so bass energy is effectively steered away from areas behind the array.

Meyer Sound's MILO can serve as the keystone component in scalable, building block systems comprising combinations of M Series products. For example, MILO can be paired with the M3D line array for very large venue applications, or transition to MICA compact high-power curvilinear array loudspeakers for near field coverage where appropriate. The MILO 120 expanded coverage high-power curvinlinear array loudspeaker provides the ideal complement to MILO for downfill applications and shares the same dimensions and QuickFly rigging components as MILO. All M Series products have compatible acoustical and performance characteristics.

• Size and weight a perfect fit in M Series
• Same width as M3D/M3D-Sub for ease of transition
• Unique crossover promotes LF/MF definition
• Driver interference kept to bare minimum

In the critical low-mid band, Meyer Sound's MILO utilizes a complex active crossover design to assure the smoothest possible response. Above 300 Hz, where less power is required, the crossover feeds full signal to only one of the two 12-inch drivers and rolls off the other. This ingenious technique eliminates interference between the drivers that would otherwise occur at shorter wavelengths, enabling MILO to maintain optimal polar and frequency response characteristics throughout the low and low-mid operating ranges.

Essentially, the Meyer Sound MILO divides the midrange frequencies into two bands (low-mid and mid-high), with a dedicated driver (cone and compression, respectively) assigned to each band. Because only one driver reproduces each frequency band, Meyer Sound's MILO avoids the difficulties encountered by other line array systems that attempt to reproduce the same midrange frequencies using separate, multiple cone drivers — in some cases, even cross-firing the drivers. Such techniques risk phase problems due to multiple arrivals, and cross-firing can introduce undesirable combing and lobing, even potentially modulating the high frequency signal.

Mid-High to Very-High Frequencies: Greater Output, Lower Distortion

In their designs for line arrays, most manufacturers recognize that the high frequency vertical pattern of each loudspeaker must be tightly controlled to minimize interference between units in the array. But some common solutions, such as using long waveguides to collimate compression driver output, gain the necessary control only at the cost of increased distortion.

By contrast, Meyer Sound's MILO employs two patented REM ribbon emulation manifolds for the separate mid-high and very-high frequency sections, each coupled to individual constant-directivity horns. REM is a proprietary coupling device that introduces driver output to the horn throat across a very short path (3 inches for the mid-high section and 1.5 inches for the very-high section), effectively controlling the output but with dramatically reduced distortion in comparison to other techniques.

INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER AND PROCESSING

Meyer Sound's four-channel, class AB/H power amplifier and sophisticated control circuits are all housed within the cabinet, dramatically simplifying set-up or installation. To bring a MILO system online, you simply connect AC power and line-level signal. That’s it! Touring companies can quickly configure Meyer Sound's MILO arrays of various sizes to suit different venues, and do so without having to either reconfigure amplifier racks or haul in unneeded equipment because it’s already in the racks. In fixed installations, there’s no need to pull long runs of heavy-gauge loudspeaker cable, nor to wire and troubleshoot a room full of amplifiers and loudspeaker processors.

• No amplifier racks
• No heavy gauge loudspeaker cables
• Simplified set-up or installation
• Enhanced reliability and flexibility
