M 52 Active Control Monitor |

Product Code:

Versatility for a broad range of applications
The M 52 is the reference monitor of choice for many small studios and
broadcast vans around the world for several reasons. Where space is at a
premium, the M 52 offers the distinct advantage of being extremely compact,
taking up a volume of only 1.8 liters (173 x 120 x 116 mm / 6 6/8" x 4 3/4" x 4
5/8"). Yet it offers a flat frequency response, making it ideal as either a
control monitor in live broadcast or as a mix monitor in the smaller recording
studio. The fact that this monitor can be powered by a 12 - 20 V external
supply, such as a car battery, opens up new application possibilities in small
broadcast vans or video editing stations. As a multimedia monitor, the versatile
M 52 is ideal for both permanent and mobile applications. The speaker chassis is
magnetically shielded so that placement next to video monitors or magnetic media
will pose no problem.
Remarkable sound
The enclosure, which is constructed entirely of aluminium, offers the maximum
interior volume for its size, and inner wall bracing adds a stiffness that
eliminates resonant colorations. These factors help the 75 mm (3")
high-performance neodymium broadband driver deliver outstanding sound for an
enclosure of this size, with very low distortion and a frequency response that
is flat across the entire pass band.
Practical features, professional connections
The volume knob is located on the front of the monitor for quick and easy
adjustment. If needed, the knob can be removed to prevent unauthorized
operation. The XLR floating transformer-balanced input (+6 dBu) offers a Common
Mode Rejection ratio of over 50 dB.
The M 52 is so lightweight that it can be mounted on a microphone stand using
the cabinet base
3/8" threaded socket. The monitor can be connected to the LH 11 table stand
using adjustable side-mounted screws that allow the M 52 to be tilted at any
angle for optimal monitoring. The power switch, mains connector, fuse holder,
and the 4-pole XLR input for battery operation (12 - 20 volts) are all located
on the rear panel. |
