Meyer Sound's MINA, the smallest member of the MILO family of self-powered line array loudspeakers that includes MILO, MICA, and M'elodie, is designed for live sound and installation applications facing size and weight limitations, including theatres, ballrooms, and houses of worship.
MINA is less than 18.5 inches wide, yet capable of producing up to 128 dB SPL at one meter. Its operating frequency ranges from 75 Hz to 18 kHz over a wide 100-degree horizontal coverage area. Each MINA loudspeaker weighs 47 pounds, making the gear well-suited for integrators working with venues with rigging constraints.
MINA can be installed as main arrays or integrate with M'elodie and MICA line arrays as fill subsystems, and Meyer Sound noted that the gear has also been designed with the needs of sound rental companies in mind.
MINA features Meyer Sound's patented trapezoidal enclosure and a three-inch high-frequency compression driver coupled to a low-distortion, constant directivity horn through a new acoustical combining manifold derived from the proprietary REM ribbon emulation manifold. Two 6.5-inch neodymium magnet cone drivers produce the low and mid frequencies.
MINA also uses Meyer Sound's three-channel Class-D power amplifier and has 950 Watts of output (1900 W peak). The optional RMS remote monitoring software reports all operating parameters of each amplifier to the system operator's computer. Other available options include weather protection and custom colors.
Meyer Sound's MINA line array loudspeaker will begin shipping in June 2010.
