M 801 is a multipurpose two-way full-range
speaker system, suitable in a wide range of
installations. The compactness, together with
the elegant and neutral design with accurate
finishing make M 801 suitable for almost any
environment and architectural constraint.
Available mounting accessories allow you to
use the M 801 wall or ceiling mounted, with
reference to the several possible applications.
The M 801 has a controlled dispersion and
delivers undistorted SPL value above any
expectation from such a compact speaker
system. The M 801 features high sensitivity
thanks to the use of oversized magnets and a
comfortable sound quality with smooth and
wide frequency response performed thanks
to the Kapton diaphragm compression driver
loaded on a constant directivity horn. The
LICC crossover design includes an electronic
protection on high frequency device.
