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
