D&B Audiotechnik Z0061.002 M2 Stage Monitor with NLT4 F/M Connections

The M2 is the definitive high performance loudspeaker for stage monitoring purposes. The bass-reflex enclosure is optimized for minimal air compression and houses two 12" LF drivers. It is actively crossed over and powered by both channels of an appropriate d&b amplifier. The 1.4" exit HF compression driver has a compact but strong neodymium magnet assembly operating into a very low distortion waveguide oriented horn, optimized for monitor applications. The component configuration permits the use of an low profile cabinet which achieves a constant directivity from an unusually low frequency of 600 Hz upwards with a nominal dispersion of 45° x 60° (h x v). Together with a cabinet baffle angle of 40° to the floor, this dispersion offers a realistic artist listening area starting directly above the cabinet and ranging quite far upstage. The M2 bestows its full dynamics across the entire frequency range without compromising the solo voices or instruments, which always stay clearly and audibly in front of the mix. The M2 cabinet is constructed from marine plywood and has an impact resistant paint finish. The cabinet is protected by a rigid metal grill backed with an acoustically transparent foam. Two fittings that accept the Flying pin 10 mm are located on both sides of the cabinet allowing quick and flexible rigging.
