M1D
Ultra-Compact Curvilinear Array Loudspeaker
The Meyer Sound M1D ultra-compact curvilinear array loudspeaker brings the singular advantages of self-powered line arrays to sound reinforcement applications in small and mid-sized venues. The exceptionally compact enclosure enables sound designers to achieve high output, precise pattern control with very low distortion from a lightweight and unobtrusive system. The M1D provides a substantial peak SPL of 125 dB at 1 meter with an operating frequency range of 60 Hz - 18 kHz and is designed specifically for implementing vertical curvilinear arrays of up to 16 cabinets having 0- to 8-degree splay between adjacent units. This design affords the flexibility to tailor vertical coverage by varying the number and splay of cabinets in the array while maintaining a consistent 100° horizontal coverage.
The M1D loudspeaker system comprises two 5-inch cone drivers and three 0.75- inch high-frequency metal dome tweeters with neodymium magnets. To assure the smoothest response in the critical midrange, the M1D incorporates a complex crossover design similar to that pioneered in Meyer Sound`s UPM loudspeakers. At the lowest frequencies, both 5-inch drivers combine to reproduce powerful, coherent bass. In the mid frequencies, however, the crossover feeds the signal to only one driver; this technique eliminates interference between the two drivers (that would otherwise occur at shorter wavelengths) in order to maintain optimal polar and frequency response characteristics. The three vertically aligned dome drivers act as a small line array, focusing the sound into a tight vertical coverage pattern while the constant-directivity horn maintains broad horizontal coverage.
The bi-amplified M1D incorporates a complementary MOSFET power amplifier module with 500 watts total burst capability, together with active crossover and optimized frequency and phase response correction circuitry. AC power is switchable in the range of 90 to 264 V AC, at 50 or 60 Hz. Integral peak and rms limiters protect the loudspeaker components from overexcursion and over-heating.
The M1D`s vented, trapezoidal cabinet is constructed from multiply hardwood and has a textured hard shell finish. The M1D incorporates QuickFly rigging as standard, and utilizes connecting links that are secured to the steel and aluminum rigging end frames by quick release pins. An ingenious arrangement of rigging holes allows quick and easy adjustment of cabinet splay for maximum freedom in customizing vertical coverage. The optional QuickFly MG-1D multipurpose grid allows either flying or ground stacking various combinations of M1D and M1D-Sub. Up to 16 M1Ds (or the equivalent weight of M1D and M1D-Sub) with a 7:1 safety factor may be flown, or up to eight M1Ds or four M1D-Subs may be ground stacked. For flying only, the simpler optional MTG-1D will support up to 16 M1Ds (or the equivalent weight of M1D and M1DSub) with a 7:1 safety factor.
M1D comes equipped with Meyer Sound`s RMS remote monitoring system as standard. RMS allows the full range of operating parameters to be monitored over a network using a Windows computer.

M1D-Sub
Ultra-Compact Subwoofer
The M1D-Sub ultra-compact subwoofer complements the M1D ultra-compact curvilinear array loudspeaker by extending bandwidth with its operating frequency range of 32 Hz to 180 Hz and substantially increasing overall system headroom. Because it produces a prodigious peak SPL of 130 dB at 1 meter from a compact cabinet, the M1D-Sub allows system designers to minimize array size while maximizing system response. A variety of QuickFly rigging options allows the M1D-Sub to be flown above, below or within an array, or placed at the base of a ground-stacked array. Although it is intended primarily as a companion subwoofer to the M1D, it is perfectly suited to general use where powerful low frequency augmentation is desired.
M1D-Sub contains two robust 10-inch cone drivers, each featuring a 2-inch voice coil and a lightweight neodymium magnet structure. Power rating per driver is 400 AES watts (see note 5 on back page). A fully integrated and self-powered system, the M1D-Sub also incorporates a two-channel class AB/bridged complementary MOSFET amplifier with 450 watts total burst capability. An Intelligent AC power supply selects the correct operating voltage in the range of 90 to 264 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz, allowing international use without manually setting voltage switches. The Intelligent AC supply also performs protective functions to compensate for hostile conditions on the AC mains. These functions protect both the loudspeaker and electronics from erratic AC conditions and increase the lifespan of the loudspeaker. An ultra-low-noise fan is fitted, but cooling is primarily provided by a massive external extruded aluminum heat sink.
The vented M1D-Sub cabinet is constructed of multi-ply hardwood with a durable finish suited to touring or installed use. A metal grille protects the drivers.
M1D-Sub features Meyer Sound`s QuickFly rigging system with rugged, reliable and deceptively simple components. All load stresses are transmitted through the rigging frames and associated hardware, not through the wooden cabinets. The optional QuickFly MG-1D multipurpose grid allows either flying or ground stacking various combinations of M1D and M1D-Sub. Up to 16 M1Ds (or the equivalent weight of M1D and M1D-Sub) with a 7:1 safety factor may be flown, or up to 8 M1Ds or 4 M1D-Subs may be ground stacked. For flying only, the simpler optional MTG-1D will support up to 16 M1Ds (or the equivalent weight of M1D and M1D-Sub) with a 7:1 safety factor.
The M1D-Sub includes Meyer Sound`s RMS monitoring system as standard. RMS allows the full range of operating parameters to be monitored in real time, remotely over a network using a Windows computer.

Used Meyer Sound Laboratories
Meyer Sound Laboratories is an American company based in Berkeley, California that manufactures self-powered loudspeakers, multichannel audio show control systems, electroacoustic architecture, and audio analysis tools for the professional sound reinforcement, fixed installation, and sound recording industries.
The company’s emphasis on research and measurement has resulted in the issuance of dozens of patents, including for the now-standard trapezoidal loudspeaker cabinet shape. Meyer Sound has pioneered other technologies that have become standard in the audio industry, including: processor-controlled loudspeaker systems, self-powered loudspeakers,curvilinear arraying, cardioid subwoofers, and source independent measurement.
Meyer Sound has consistently involved itself with advanced research beyond that connected to immediate product development, sometimes in conjunction with arms of the University of California, Berkeley. Some of this research has resulted in unusual products such as their parabolic sound beam and sound field synthesis loudspeakers. Other projects, such as the spherical loudspeaker research underway by Meyer Sound and CNMAT (Center for New Music and Audio Technologies) at UC Berkeley are still in the stage of pure research.
