The M-10 is a compact two-way passive stage monitor, intended for lower-SPL applications where accurate artist reference and reasonable LF extension are still required from a very compact enclosure.  The M-10 is completely passive, yet outperforms many bi-amplified or DSP-processed designs. The enclosure contains a 10” (254mm) neodymium LF drive unit, linked via the internal passive crossover network to a 1.7” (44mm) diaphragm, 1” (25mm) exit HF compression drive unit.  The HF drive unit is coupled to a constant-directivity waveguide, which produces a 80°H x 60°V dispersion pattern.  This wider dispersion pattern allows greater freedom of movement for artists on-stage, where high separation is not necessary. The robust enclosure is constructed from premium multi-laminate Birch plywood and is finished in impact resistant textured paint.  The front of the loudspeaker is protected by a rigid steel grille backed with acoustically transparent foam.  A pair of flush handles are provided, and connections are provided on a recessed panel on the rear of the monitor.  The M-10 is supplied in black as standard, however RAL colour matching and weather protection options are also available if required. The M-10 requires a single amplifier channel, and should be used with professional power amplifiers capable of delivering 500-600W RMS into an 8-ohm load.  For best results, the EM Acoustics AQ-3 power amplifier should be used.
