3 System description
The 4-way concept of the ME 802K comprises three 10-inch woofer systems, a 6.5-inch high-
performance midrange system and a tweeter array with three vertically arranged 1-inch dome
tweeters. The directivity of the system has been optimized for listening distances of between three
and eight metres, rendering a natural sound image in stereo and multichannel operation. Two 1000
W and two 500 W amplifi er modules supply the bass, mid and treble channels with suffi cient power.
The resulting overload safety ensures that even signals with highest peak levels are not limited. Also,
sound pressure levels of up to 125 dB can be performed without audible distortions throughout the
eff ective frequency range. A room compensation network, integrated into the amplifi er electronics,
allows control of the room-dependent frequency response.
The vertical arrangement of the 10-inch woofers provides a directivity index that ensures realistic
bass presence even at listening distances of up to eight metres. Our reliable K Technology minimizes
rearward-directed room refl ections in the bass range and simplifi es the positioning of the ME 802K
in the listening room. If required, the three 10-inch bass units can be operated as subwoofers via
the LFE input.
The low coloration and low distortion of the 6.5-inch high-performance midrange system result from
the intelligent combination of several construction details. The cone loudspeaker, for example, runs
without contact to the enclosure, thus avoiding the problem of cabinet resonances. Instead, the
midrange system is operated with a rearward-directed acoustic fl ow resistor in order to achieve the
desired directivity.
Frequently used wave guides in front of tweeter systems make directivity control easy. However,
they tend to produce unavoidable coloration due to short-time refl ections on the inner horn surface.
We take a diff erent approach by using a tweeter array and doing without horn loudspeaker systems
for sound level enhancement. The tweeter unit that is arranged coaxially in front of the midrange
system guarantees the trademark low coloration reproduction of sound events in our loudspeakers.
All these features make the ME 802K so unique on the loudspeaker market. It is ideal for large
listening distances and for acoustically less attenuated rooms.
