Meyer Sound Melodie Powered Line Array Speaker
Meyer Sound Melodie Powered Line Array Speaker
The self-powered M’elodie ultracompact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker is a member of the popular MILO® family of loudspeakers. Its extended high-frequency headroom gives it a smooth sound over its wide operating frequency range of 70 Hz to 18 kHz. This headroom combines with a 100-degree horizontal coverage pattern to provide detailed resolution of delicate transient information across a broad coverage area.
Features:
- Exceptional power-to-size ratio
- Wide and even horizontal coverage pattern
- Very small footprint keeps a low profile appearance
- Seamless integration with MICA
- QuickFly rigging with captive GuideALinks simplifies use in flown or groundstacked arrays, alone or with MICA and/or 600-HP subwoofer
