Self-Powered Loudspeakers
Milan series self-powered loudspeakers are equipped with an integrated Class D amplifier module,
taking consistent performance, convenience and ease of use to a new level. Featuring lightweight
high-power amplifiers using 48kHz DSP and operating at better than 90% efficiency, Milan
eliminates the need for separate amplifier racks and controllers, as well as the attendant cabling.
This makes setting up at gigs and obtaining a consistent sound in different venues a faster and
simpler process.
The amplifier is exactly matched to the known parameters of the loudspeaker components, and is
therefore able to produce the optimum power for the drivers. By placing the amplifier in the
cabinet it is possible to keep the loudspeaker cables extremely short to eliminate resistive losses,
so effectively all the power from the amplifier is transferred to the drivers.
The availability of on-board electronics provides an opportunity to build in a two-channel mixer
offering both mic and line inputs with two band EQ and sophisticated DSP-based limiting. These
fast-acting, frequency-dependent limiters allow you to achieve higher average sound pressure
level, reduce the possibility of driver damage, and help to ensure better long-term system
reliability.
A professional quality crossover network filters the low and high frequencies appropriately to each
driver, to ensure that each is working in its optimum frequency band. The high-grade circuit
components ensure that every loudspeaker performs consistently.
Due to the extremely high efficiency and modern, high performance power supply, the Milan
amplifier module only adds less than 2 kilos to the overall net weight of the loudspeaker, and this
is an important factor in portable applications where the loudspeaker is to be transported and set
up frequently in a variety of venues.
