INTRODUCTION Thank you Thank you for purchasing the acclaimed M-12 stage monitor from EM Acoustics. The M-12 has been carefully designed and rigorously tested to ensure years of flawless operation and unprecedented sonic quality. Acoustics Monitors are designed to provide a smooth and coherent frequency and phase response, while having enough SPL capability where required –...
M-12 to be used in biamplified mode if required. Through the use of two different side angles, the M-12 can be used for normal front-of-stage usage and also as a close-range drum fill with the steeper angle. As with all EM Acoustics full-range products, no active controller or programmed EQ is required for correct operation.
Loudspeaker systems are potentially dangerous objects if used incorrectly. Please ensure that you read this section fully, and contact EM Acoustics or your local dealer should you be in any doubt over correct operation procedures. Professional loudspeaker systems are capable of producing damage-inducing sound pressure levels, and hence care should be taken when setting your system up, particularly when it comes to loudspeaker placement within a venue.
