SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
3 System description
High level + large room = big loudspeaker? The ME 801K1 is about to rebut that. Longer reverb, larger
rooms and listening distances easily spoil the fun for the ambitious music listener. The ME 801K1
makes use of a few things out of the bag of tricks lled throughout the long history of the company
with much technical know how.
As well as the legendary RL 901K the ME 801K1 uses a 16-inch long-throw woofer. ME Geithain’s
typical cardioid dispersion behaviour in the lower frequency range from 25 Hz to 250 Hz minimizes
reections behind the speakers so positioning is less critical. A 6.5-inch high-performance midrange
cone driver and an array of three 1-inch dome tweeters are coaxially mounted in front of the low
range driver. This arrangement ensures the directivity that is needed in large rooms to minimize
reections and provides an irresistible spatiality. Their high sensitivity offer not only impressive level
and dynamic capabilities but also low distortion. The consequent use of the coaxial technology has
another undeniable advantage: the size of the speaker is obviously reduced. Thanks to housing the
3
amplier in its own cabinet the dimensions are further reduced. The electronic part consists of three
PWM ampliers and an analogue lter equipped with a room equalization lter to adjust the speaker
to the position in and the properties of the listening room. The ampliers deliver a power of 1000 W
in the low frequency channel and 500 W each in the mid and treble channels. Therefore dynamical
limits of the whole system are no concern.
Despite all of these features the ME 801K1 sticks to its roots and has all the virtues our customers
value: neutrality, homogeneity, low coloration and longevity.
An elegant stand for the ME 801K1 is available upon request.
