SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

3 System description

With the ML 811K1 a mastering loudspeaker was created combining maximal levels and absolute

neutrality. For the rst time mastering engineers have the opportunity to use a loudspeaker providing

the same sound pattern Tonmeisters pledge to for decades. Special attention was directed to the

necessities and conditions in mastering studios: large rooms and listening distances, high levels

and timbral neutrality. Regardless of whether classical, rock, pop, or motion picture productions the

ML 811K1 overcomes loud and quiet passages with ease. Also in big living rooms or home cinemas

it convinces with the accustomed ME quality.

By the cardioid radiation characteristics within the frequency range from 30 Hz through 250 Hz

the reections on the back walls of listening rooms can be minimized. 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 the parametric lters of the integrated DSP.

The directivity index of the monitor was optimized for long listening distances and a base distance

between three and eight metres (9′10″ and 26′3″). For low frequencies a very linear 400 mm (16″)

long-throw driver in a cardioid cabinet is employed, delivering excellent impulse delity. The four

25 mm (1″) dome tweeters are coaxially mounted in front of the 260 mm (10″) cone allowing a

precise steering of the directivity index. As a result a realistic and steady spatial performance of the

sound pattern around the listening position is achieved, with high homogeneity and smallest possible

coloration. By the big diaphragm area the ML 811K1 is to the highest degree level proof while at the

same time it has the lowest distortions. Therefore the ML 811K1 is a precision studio tool allowing

fatigue free working for hours.

The RL-Amplier is a 2 U rackmount Class-D amplier driving the woofer with 1,500 W at 8 Ω and

the midrange as well as the tweeters equally with 800 W at 4 Ω and therefore has sufcient power

reserves for every situation.

A variety of special stands and racks is available as accessories. According xing elements have been

integrated into the loudspeaker cabinet.
