Meyer M'elodie Ultra-Compact Array Loudspeaker
|
Sometimes, big things come in small packages. The M’elodie ultracompact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker is a good example. M’elodie is Meyer Sound’s newest generation of a strong family line: the celebrated M Series. M’elodie brings the sonic signature and easy to use rigging of the MILO family of loudspeakers, along with an extraordinary power-to-size ratio to a package smaller than the company’s MICA compact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker. As a result, M’elodie is compact enough for small theatres, ballrooms and clubs, as well as being an outstanding performer in theatrical productions and corporate AV applications.

Audio Input
Type: Differential, electronically balanced Max. common mode range: ±15 V DC, clamped to earth for voltage transient protection Connectors: Female XLR input with male XLR loop output or VEAM all-in-one connector (integrates AC, audio, and network) Input impedance: 10 kΩ differential between pins 2 and 3 Wiring: Pin 1: Chassis/earth through 220 kΩ, 1000 pF, 15 V clamp network to provide virtual ground lift at audio frequencies Pin 2: Signal + Pin 3: Signal - Case: Earth ground and chassis DC blocking: Differential DC blocking up to max common mode voltage CMRR: >50 dB, typically 80 dB (50 Hz – 500 Hz) RF filter: Common mode: 425 kHz Differential mode: 142 kHz TIM filter: <80 kHz, integral to signal processing Nominal input sensitivity: 0 dB V (1 V rms, 1.4 V pk) continuous is typically the onset of limiting for noise and music. Input level: Audio source must be capable of producing +20 dBV (10 V rms, 14 V pk) into 600 Ω in order to produce maximum peak SPL over the operating bandwidth of the loudspeaker
