Meyer Sound MILO 60 User Manual

A variation on the popular MILO™ high-
power curvilinear loudspeaker, the MILO 60
high-power narrow coverage curvilinear
array loudspeaker excels where controlled
powered MILO 60 is a compact, lightweight
four-way system that provides 60 degrees
of horizontal coverage, and vertical cover-
age matching the original MILO. The cover-
age pattern is optimized for applications
requiring tight horizontal cover age, such
as at the top in mixed arrays with standard
tems, or for side fill hangs where keeping
sound off of side walls is important.
The MILO 60 shares the same dimensions
and rig ging components as the MILO and
MILO 120 expanded coverage high-power
curvilinear array loudspeakers to facilitate
seamless integration. The flexibility of the
MILO 60 allows it to be configured with
other Meyer Sound loud speakers in com-
plex systems. MILO 60 arrays and combined

1. The low-frequency power response of
the system will increase according to
the length of the array.
2. Recommended maximum operating
frequency range. Response depends
upon loading conditions and room
acoustics.
3. Free field, measured with 1/3 octave
frequency resolution at 4 meters.
4. Measured with music at 1 meter.
5. At these frequencies, the transducers
produce equal sound pressure levels:
560 Hz for the low-mid and mid-high
and 4.2 kHz for the mid-high and
very-high frequency drivers.
6. Power handling is measured under
AES standard conditions: transducer
driven continuously for two hours with
band limited noise signal having a 6 dB
peak-average ratio.
7. To eliminate interference at short
wavelengths, the two 12-inch cone
drivers work in combination at low
frequencies (60 Hz – 300 Hz). At mid
frequencies (300 Hz – 560 Hz) only one
cone driver is fed from the crossover
to maintain optimal polar and
frequency response characteristics.
8. The three drivers are coupled to a
constant-directivity horn through
a proprietary acoustical combining
manifold (REM).
9. Amplifier wattage rating is based
on the maximum unclipped burst
sine-wave rms voltage the amplifier
will produce in to the nominal load
impedance. Low, low-mid and very-
high frequency channels 67 V rms (95
channel 67 V rms (95 V pk) into 8 ohms.
10. AC power cabling must be of sufficient
gauge so that under burst current rms
conditions, cable transmission losses
do not drop voltage below specified
operating range at the speaker.

transducers shall consist of two 12-inch cone drivers, each
rated to handle 1200 watts AES*. The mid-high frequency
transducer shall be one 4-inch diaphragm (1.5-inch exit) com-
pression driver, rated to handle 250 watts AES, coupled via a
custom manifold to a 60° horizontal constant directivity horn.
The very-high frequency transducers shall consist of three
2-inch diaphragm (0.75-inch exit) compression drivers, each
rated to handle 100 watts AES, coupled via a patented custom
manifold to a 60° horizontal constant directivity horn.
The loudspeaker shall incorporate internal processing electron-
ics and a four-channel amplifier. Processing functions shall
include equalization, phase correction, driver protection and
signal division for the three frequency sections. The crossover
points shall be 560 Hz and 4.2 kHz. An additional low-fre-
quency crossover shall cause the two low/low-mid frequency
transducers to work in combination between 60 Hz and 300 Hz,
with only one working between 300 Hz and 560 Hz, to maintain
optimal polar response characteristics.
Each amplifier channel shall be class AB/H with complementary
MOSFET output stages. Burst capability shall be 3935 watts total
(three channels 1125 watts, one channel 560 watts) with a
nominal 4-ohm load for low, low-mid and very-high frequency

nel. Distortion (THD, IM, TIM) shall not exceed 0.02%. Protection
circuits shall include TruPower limiting. The audio input shall be
electronically balanced with a 10 kOhm impedance and accept
a nominal 0 dBV (1 V rms, 1.4 V pk) signal (+20 dBV to produce
maximum SPL). Connectors shall be XLR (A-3) type male and
female. RF filtering shall be provided. CMRR shall be greater
than 50 dB (typically 80 dB 50 Hz – 500 Hz).
Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall be

quency range shall be 60 Hz to 18 kHz. Phase response shall be
at 1 meter. Beamwidth shall be 60° horizontal. Vertical cover-
age in multi-cabinet arrays shall be dependent on system con-
figuration. The internal power supply shall perform automatic
voltage selection, EMI filtering, soft current turn-on and surge
suppression. Powering requirements shall be nominal 100, 110
or 230 V AC line current at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. UL and CE operating
voltage range shall be 100 to 240 V AC. Maximum peak current
draw during burst shall be 14.4 A at 115 V AC and 7.2 A at 230
V AC. Current inrush during soft turn-on shall not exceed 7 A
at 115 V AC. AC power connectors shall be locking NEMA con-
nector, IEC male or VEAM all-in-one. The loudspeaker system
shall incorporate the electronics module for Meyer Sound’s RMS
remote monitoring system.
All loudspeaker components shall be mounted in an enclosure
constructed of multi-ply hardwood with a hard black textured
finish. The front protective grille shall be powder-coated, hex-
stamped steel. Dimensions shall be 54.00" wide x 14.47" high
(cabinet front) x 22.00" deep (1372 mm x 368 mm x 559 mm).
Weight shall be 235 lbs (106.60 kg).
The loudspeaker shall be the Meyer Sound MILO 60.
