Chapter 1: Introducing The Milo 120 Loudspeaker - Meyer Sound MILO 120 Operating Instructions Manual

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE MILO 120 LOUDSPEAKER

A variation on the popular MILO high-power curvilinear
loudspeaker, the MILO 120 high-power expanded coverage
curvilinear array loudspeaker excels where wide horizontal
and increased vertical coverage are needed.

loudspeaker
The self-powered MILO 120 is a compact, lightweight four-
way system that provides 120 degrees of horizontal and
20 degrees of vertical coverage. The MILO 120 expanded
coverage pattern is optimized for medium to near field
applications, making it the perfect downfill complement
for standard MILO or M3D line array loudspeaker systems.
MILO 120 can also be used to form wide coverage arrays or
in other fill applications that can be satisfied by one or two
cabinets.
As part of the M Series, the MILO 120 loudspeaker comes
standard with Meyer Sound's RMS™ remote monitoring
system. The MILO 120 shares the same dimensions as the
standard MILO cabinet to facilitate seamless integration
with MILO and existing MILO QuickFly
like the MG-3D/M multipurpose grid and MCF-MILO caster
frame. The flexibility of MILO 120 also allows it to be con-
figured with other Meyer Sound loudspeakers in complex
systems.
MILO 120 produces a peak output of 138 dB SPL with
exceptionally flat phase and frequency response. Its wide
operating frequency range (60 Hz to 18 kHz) is comple-
mented by extended high-frequency headroom and a
dedicated very-high frequency section (4.2 kHz to 18 kHz)
that renders delicate transient information with detailed
resolution through its wide coverage pattern. The MILO 120
loudspeaker's acoustical characteristics are designed to
facilitate seamless integration when used with other MILO
curvilinear elements.
MILO 120's greater vertical coverage dictates larger splay
angles between cabinets, which is accommodated by dedi-
cated AlignaLinks, allowing the angle to be set in 2-degree
increments between 13 and 19 degrees. Due to the larger
splay angles, the use of the MILO 120-I insert is recom-
mended between cabinets (Figure 1.2).
Figure 1.2.
The optional MILO 120-I insert can be fitted to enhance the
appearance of arrays which include the MILO 120, and also
provide acoustical benefits that allow MILO and MILO 120
cabinets in the same array to be fed with identical signals,
with no additional equalization.
The weather-protected version of MILO 120 includes
comprehensive weather protection to suit frequent use in
inclement outdoor applications as well as permanent instal-
lations.
MILO 120 can serve as a component in scalable systems
including any combination of MILO, M3D, M3D-Sub and
select Concert Series models.

For example, MILO 120 can be used as downfill with the
MILO curvilinear array loudspeaker for large venue appli-
cations. It can be also used to create curvilinear arrays in
situations where wide horizontal and vertical coverage are
needed while the longer throw of MILO is not, as well as
in small arrays of one or two cabinets for sidefill coverage
where needed.
