The
M12C Series offers an excellent combination of performance and
flexibility in a compact, two-way design. Built on the foundation of the
popular M12B Series, the M12C Series makes improvements to both the
sonic and physical characteristics. Utilizing an asymmetrical cabinet
design, the loudspeakers are equally applicable to being used as a floor
monitor or a main system. The M12C Series use a 1-inch compression
driver for smooth, natural, high-frequency response and a high-power
12-inch driver for tight, low-frequency performance.
The
M12C Series is available in two versions. The M12C is configured for
bi-amplified operation, allowing the greatest control over the sonic
performance. Internal filters on the HF section minimize the need for
external processing. The M12CP incorporates an internal crossover to
provide full-range operation using a single amplifier channel. The
carefully designed crossover offers excellent clarity in the
all-important voice range. In addition, the minimalist-design-approach
circuitry allows increased SPL output with the same applied amplifier
power. Whether sitting on a stage, stand-mounted, or flown in an array,
both versions provide highly musical, high-SPL reproduction.
The compact,
lightweight enclosure offers excellent ease-of-use for numerous
applications. An integrated D-ring/stud fitting is provided for overhead-suspension applications. A cast-aluminum pole cup allows rapid stand
mounting. Dual NL4 connectors, one on
each side of the cabinet, provide connection flexibility. All cabinet
and hardware finishes were carefully selected to minimize
interruption of audience sight lines. For long life, the cabinet is
constructed using hardwood plywood and finished with a rugged epoxy
coating. The sleek, rounded-edge grill is powder-coated for resistance
to physical and environmental abuse.
A number of options
are available to complement the M12C Series. While a black epoxy finish
is standard, custom colors can be specified. A road case just 30-inches
square is available to transport four M12C or M12CP cabinets.
