ME 801K1

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.

As well as the legendary RL901K the ME801K1 uses a 16 inch long throw woofer. ME Geithain's typical cardioid dispersion behaviour in the lower frequency range from 25 to 250 Hz minimizes reflections behind the speakers so positioning is less critical. A high efficiency 6.5 inch mid range cone driver and an array of three 1 inch dome tweeters are coaxially mounted in front of the low range driver. This arrangement ensures the directivity that is needed in large rooms to minimize reflections and provides an irresistible spatiality. Their high sensitivity offer not only impressive level and dynamic capabilities but also low distortion. The consequent use of the coaxial technology has another undeniable advantage: the size of the speaker is obviously reduced. Thanks to housing the amplifier in its own cabinet the dimensions are further reduced. The electronic part consists of three PWM amplifiers and an analogue filter equipped with a room equalization filter to adjust the speaker to the position in and the properties of the listening room. The amplifiers deliver a power of 1000 W in the low frequency channel and 500 W each in the mid and treble channels. Therefore dynamical limits of the whole system are no concern.

Despite all of these features the ME801K1 sticks to its roots and has all the virtues our customers value: neutrality, homogeneity, low colouration and longevity.
