Components: The Heart Of The System

M’elodie is a three-way system in which each Meyer Sound-designed and manufactured driver is powered by its own amplifier channel.

Low/Mid-Frequency Section

The low and mid frequencies in M’elodie’s operating frequency range are produced by two new neodymium magnet 8-inch cone drivers with 1.5-inch voice coils. The two drivers work in a two-way configuration in which they operate in parallel at lower frequencies to obtain the greatest acoustic output, while one driver rolls off before the crossover frequency to maintain optimal polar and frequency response through the crossover region.

A single 3-inch diaphragm, 1.2-inch exit, neodymium magnet compression driver is mounted on Meyer Sound's patented REM manifold.

High-Frequency Section

M’elodie uses the same 3-inch diaphragm, 1.2-inch exit, neodymium magnet compression driver found in M’elodie’s larger sibling, MICA, to produce the smooth, extended high-frequency response that is a hallmark of the MILO family. The driver is mounted on one of Meyer Sound’s patented REM manifolds, which is coupled to a low-distortion, 100-degree horizontal coverage, constant directivity horn. The REM produces a wave front with low distortion and radiation behavior similar to that of a high-frequency line source, yet the high output generated by compression drivers. The horn’s smooth, controlled, narrow vertical dispersion minimizes destructive high-frequency interactions between cabinets, an essential quality for line array applications.
