2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

TOA's ME-160 is a 2-way bass-reflex monitor speaker featuring flat frequency characteristics, low distortion,

and high-resolution sound quality. It is particularly suited to music reproduction in small spaces.

The ME-160 can be suspended from a wall or ceiling using an optional speaker holder.

• Woofer cone of new material made by compacting natural fibers in resin realizes depth-feeling acoustic

space, presenting clear sound image.

• Soft dome tweeter of Tetron-based material, coated with acrylic damping material, has moderate amount of

internal loss, providing smooth characteristics in high frequency range.

• Magnetically-shielded woofer and tweeter permit the ME-160 to be installed in close proximity to a video

monitor or CRT.

• Gold-plated screw-type input terminals (compatible with dual banana plugs) help ensure superb sound

quality.

• A speaker enclosure made of MDF ("medium density fireboard," made by compacting finely chipped timber

fibers in resin) contributes to the more natural-sounding audio qualities characteristically offered by wood.

• A slit-type bass-reflex port prevents sound leakage from the inside of the enclosure and helps keep the

reproduced sound free of muddiness.

• Finished with black paint and equipped with a detachable front grille.

• The speaker enclosure has mounting screw holes (102 mm interval) on both its side and bottom surfaces,

allowing the speaker to be suspended from a wall or ceiling using the optional speaker holder.

• The ME-160 employs no protection circuit against excessive input power.

Do not apply input power exceeding the allowable rating to the speaker because this may damage the built-

in speaker component.

• To clean the speaker enclosure, wipe with a dry cloth. When the enclosure gets very dirty, use a cloth

damped in a neutral cleanser. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically-treated cleaning cloth because

such volatile liquids could deform or discolor the enclosure.

• Do not face the speaker front down with the front grille removed. The speaker unit may be damaged.

• Never touch the tweeter's dome diaphragm. It may be dented or deformed, not restoring to its original state.
