The relaunch of the MO-1, the MO-1 MKII, is not simply a product refresh; it is a complete redesign that surpasses its predecessor in both performance and functionality without forgetting what made the MO-1 stand out. The MO-1 MKII is more than a control monitor - it is a fully-fledged studio monitor that is perfect for spaces with limited room.

With the ML811K1 a mastering loudspeaker was created combining maximal levels and absolute neutrality. For the first time mastering engineers have the opportunity to use a loudspeaker providing the same sound pattern Tonmeisters pledge to for decades. Special attention was directed to the necessities and conditions in mastering studios: large rooms and listening distances, high levels and neutrality. Regardless of whether classical, rock, pop, or motion picture productions the ML811K1 overcomes loud and quiet passages with ease. Also in big living rooms or home cinemas it convinces with the accustomed ME quality.

The RL921K is based on the timeless classic design of the legendary RL901K. Not only optically but also tonally the RL921K follows in the steps of its older sibling. Therefore it is the optimal solution in cases where the RL901K can not be used because of its size or short listening distances. The RL921K is aimed at professional users as well as music enthusiasts.

The RL934K is as well as the RL944K designed for short listening distances. It is tonally compatible to the RL944K but offers a lower bass range and higher power rating. Therefore it is the optimal solution in small sound and video studios as well as outside broadcasting vans working on reference standard. Also passionate music listeners with limited placement options will appreciate the RL934K.

High level + large room = big loudspeaker? The ME801K1 is about to rebut that. Longer reverb, larger rooms and listening distances easily spoil the fun for the ambitious music listener. The ME801K1 makes use of a few things out of the bag of tricks filled throughout the long history of the company with much technical know how.

The ME180 extends Musikelectronic Geithain’s product range of passive high-end loudspeakers. The three-way concept comprises two highly efficient 10-inch woofer systems and a tweeter array of three vertically arranged 1-inch dome tweeters. Through this combination a sensitivity of 90 dB is achieved without wave guides. In connection with the linearised impedance the ME180 is also the perfect partner to tube amplifiers. Power compression and non-linear distortions are therefore very low, even in fortissimo passages. The directivity index of the system has been optimised to listening distances between 3 and 6 metres, providing a natural sound image in stereo and multi-channel operation.

Great events often come from little causes. The ME901K1 has been designed for music enthusiasts, which focus on the legendary sound of the RL901K in the smallest possible cabinet. To minimise the size of the cabinet the amplifier module is housed in a separate cabinet.The concept of the active 3-way coaxial speaker ME901K1 offers a high sound compatibility to the RL series and convinces with phenomenal spatiality.

As a center speaker the ME100C was designed, which is better integrable due to its lesser height. In addition the speaker is inclinable up to 15° to the top with the height-adjustable feet at the cabinet bottom. Therefore a perfect alignment to the listening position is possible. The center speaker doesn‘t fall behind the ME100 regarding acoustical and technical performance.

The RL Amplifier 2 is a device especially designed as a separate 19 inch rack amplifier for 3 channel studio monitors from Musikelectronic Geithain GmbH. The amplifier has PWM power amplifiers to allow operation with convection cooling in a compact 19 inch housing. It offers technical protective measures to ensure safe operation of the attached loudspeaker. It is designed for users searching for a device with minimum space requirements. The digital signal processor allows a flexible adjustment of the frequency response to the acoustical environment. Integration into digital production work chains is easily possible due to the AES/EBU input.

The compact ME806 amplifies Musikelectronic Geithain’s 800 Line product range. The two-way concept comprises an 8-inch woofer system and a tweeter array of three vertically arranged 1-inch tweeter calottes. The directivity index of the system has been optimised to listening distances between 2.5 and 4 metres, providing a natural sound image in stereo and multi-channel operation. The bass reflex system, designed to deliver optimal transient fidelity, ensures a precise and dry bass reproduction down to a threshold frequency of 38 Hz. Thanks to the powerful integrated analogue amplifiers and the high system sensitiveness, this loudspeaker combines flawless homogeneity with a dynamic range that is unrivalled in a two-way system. The result is that non-linear distortions stay extremely low even at high reproducing levels. Moreover, the loudspeaker features group delay time optimisation.

The RL-Amplifier is a device especially designed as a separate 19 inch rack amplifier for all 3 way studiomonitors from Musikelectronic Geithain GmbH. The amplifier has PWM power amplifiers to allow operation with convection cooling in a compact 19 inch housing/case. It offers technical protective measures to ensure safe operation of the attached loudspeaker.

The 3-way concept of the ME804K consists of two 8-inch long-stroke woofer systems, an 8-inch midrange system and a tweeter array with three vertically arranged 1-inch tweeter calottes. The directivity of the system has been optimised for listening distances of between 2.8 and 6 metres, rendering a natural sound image in stereo and multichannel operation. One 1000 W and two 500 W amplifier modules supply the bass, mid and treble channels with sufficient power. The resulting overload safety ensures that even signals with highest peak levels are not limited. Also, sound pressure levels of up to 120 dB can be performed without audible distortions throughout the effective frequency range. A room compensation network, integrated into the amplifier electronics, allows control of the room-dependent frequency response.

The passive and active coaxial two-way sound reinforcement systems from the TS40 and TS50 series feature a compact cabinet, neutral sound colour, strong vertical focusing and high dynamics. These systems are engineered for high class speech and music reproduction. In addition they remain optically discrete because of their small dimensions. The abandonment of horn speakers results in a neutrality you only know from first class studio monitors.

The TS30 series cover classic passive and active sound reinforcement systems in inline technology. High dynamics and limiting level are achieved by special compression drivers with horns. Therefore these products are compatible to existing installations. A technical feature available is our reliable bass cardioid technology. So even in acoustically difficult environments the products of the TS30 series are easy to handle.

The two-way speaker TS11 is a premium, coaxial ceiling installation system with all-round quality. It is useful everywhere, where a discrete and optically inconspicuous sound reinforcement is needed. The advantage is the ability to cover large rooms in segments and with different volumes. The swivelling tweeter allows precise tuning to the reproduction space and additional flexibility when choosing the mounting position.

The passive and active bass reinforcement systems TT12, TT15 and TT18K extend the bass transmission range of our TS-series speakers by more than one octave. Depending on the case of application and the required maximum level three different version are offered. Beginning with compact 12 and 15-inch bass reflex systems to the high power subwoofer with 18-inch long throw driver and cardioid technology harmonise technically and optically with our mid top cabinets from the TS-series. These systems feature high dynamics and low distortion.

The active bass loudspeakers BASIS11K, BASIS13K and BASIS14K serve as complement for the lower octave of our active studio monitors and as central bass unit in stereo reproduction. Furthermore, the subwoofers can be operated with suitable AV receivers to also allow optimal cooperation with our passive high-end loudspeakers.

As a center speaker the RL940C was designed, which is better integrable due to its lesser height. In addition the speaker is inclinable up to 15° to the top with the height-adjustable feet at the cabinet bottom. Therefore a perfect alignment to the listening position is possible. The center speaker RL940C doesn‘t fall behind the RL940 regarding acoustical and technical performance.

The analog bass management system BCU7.1 is used in addition to our BASIS models and is employed everywhere, where source systems don‘t provide a separate bass mangement system, e.g. in outside broadcasting vans our small post production studios. The BCU7.1 is geared for application with active subwoofers from the BASIS series and provide enough flexibility for optimal adjustment to the application site without being confronted with a complicated control concept.

The RL930K is an all-round main control studio monitor for medium-size audio, video and film studios. Our reliable K Technology (cardioid radiation characteristics in the bass range) minimises rearward-directed room reflections, making it easy to position the RL930K in the listening room.
