SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2 System description

Great events often come from little causes. The ME 901K1 has been designed for music enthusiasts,

which focus on the legendary sound of the RL 901K in the smallest possible cabinet. To minimise the

size of the cabinet the amplifi er module is housed in a separate cabinet.

Our reliable

K-Technology

is also used in the ME 901K1 and by the cardioid radiation characteristics

within the frequency range from 30 through to 250 Hz the refl ections on the back walls of listening

rooms can be minimised. In addition the transfer characteristic can be matched to the acoustical

conditions of the reproduction room as well as to the set-up situation by an integrated room match-

ing fi lter.

The unit for the medium and high-frequency range is combined in a coaxial manner with our long-

throw 16-inch bass system and is provided with a directivity index, which supplements in an excel-

lent way that of the bass system. The total directivity index of the monitor was optimised for middle

and larger listening distances between two and four metres. The whole system is superior by excel-

lent localisation behaviour. Moreover, a series of constructional measures provide that convincing

lowest values of non-linear distortions and colourations could be reached.

The concept of the active 3-way coaxial speaker ME 901K1 offers a high sound compatibility to the

RL series and convinces with phenomenal spatiality.

Additionally to the ME 901K1 an elegant stand is available.
