As part of Meyer Sound’s M Series, the M2D compact 
curvilinear array loudspeaker and M2D-Sub compact 
subwoofer bring numerous advantages to mid-sized venues 
that require tight vertical pattern control with long throw.

 rigging and Meyer Sound’s 

RMS™ remote monitoring system as standard, the M2D 
and M2D-Sub loudspeakers can be deployed as a self-
contained system or configured along with other Meyer 
Sound loudspeakers in more complex systems. 

Operating at a frequency range of 60 Hz to 16 kHz, the 
M2D loudspeaker’s compact enclosure (Figure i.1) is 
designed specifically for vertical curvilinear arrays of up to 
16 cabinets having 0- to 7-degree splay between units in 
1-degree increments. 

The M2D loudspeaker gives you the flexibility to tailor 
vertical coverage by varying the number and splay of 
cabinets in the array while maintaining a constant 90 
degrees of horizontal coverage. For high frequencies, the 
M2D loudspeaker utilizes Meyer Sound’s patented REM™ 
ribbon emulation manifold to couple a single compression 
driver with a 1.5-inch exit (4-inch diaphragm) to a horn 
with 90-degree constant-directivity horizontal coverage. 
(The vertical coverage of the array depends upon the array 
length and curvature). The M2D loudspeaker’s mid-low 
section comprises two high-power 10-inch drivers with 
lightweight neodymium magnet assemblies housed in a 
compact, vented trapezoidal enclosure.

In addition, to assure the smoothest response in the critical 
midrange, the M2D loudspeaker incorporates a complex 
crossover design. At the lowest frequencies, both 10-inch 
drivers combine to reproduce powerful, coherent bass, 
while in the mid frequencies the crossover feeds only one 
of the two drivers. This ingenious technique eliminates 
interference between the drivers that would otherwise occur 
at shorter wavelengths near the crossover frequencies. 

The companion M2D-Sub subwoofer (Figure i.2), designed 
specifically to work with the M2D, extends overall system 
power bandwidth and frequency range down to 28 Hz.
