Precision Studio Monitor
T
he Amie precision studio monitor is a
compact, high-performance loudspeaker
designed for critical audio workflows where
accurate translation to larger systems is
a requirement. Amie traces its lineage to
Meyer Sound’s Acheron
loudspeakers, sharing core technology that
makes it ideal for film, broadcast, music, and
game postproduction.
Amie is equally suited for both stereo and
surround monitoring in small- to mediumsized rooms, and is the perfect solution for
facilities where the destination is a larger
production room. With its flat frequency
response, Amie accurately reproduces source
material at different listening levels and with
its power-to-size ratio can make your edit
room sound like the mixing stage.
Sophisticated onboard signal processing and
crossover circuitry optimize phase response,

to the mix stage.
Engineered for sonic linearity, Amie exhibits
uniform response over its full dynamic range.
Advanced driver protection circuitry allows
for graceful handling of peak material with
very low distortion, yielding a comfortable
listening experience — allowing engineers
to work in extended sessions with minimal
fatigue.
Amie’s high-frequency transducer is a silkinfused dome tweeter fed to a constant
directivity waveguide that yields uniform,
focused coverage with smooth roll-off
outside the coverage area. Its low-frequency
transducer is a long-excursion cone driver
designed for to behave linear. An optimized,

Powered by a proprietary 2-channel class D
amplifier, Amie boasts ample headroom, low
distortion, and low self-noise, delivering
consistent performance even at high sound
pressure levels, allowing it to reproduce
the most demanding soundtracks with
uncompromising precision. The self-powered
design simplifies room installations. Loopthrough power connectors streamline setup
of multichannel systems.
Amie’s enclosure is constructed from premium
birch plywood, coated with an attractive lowgloss, textured black finish. Side attachment
points accommodate an optional U-bracket,
which can mount on walls and ceilings,
or attach to a pole mount. In addition the
optional Desk mount allows Amie to be placed
on a desk with the ability to tilt.
