SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 3

musikelectronic geithain GmbH ME 800K

3 System description

The 4-way concept of the ME 800K comprises two 16-inch woofer systems, a 6.5-inch high-performance

midrange system and a tweeter array with three vertically arranged 1-inch dome tweeters. The

directivity of the system has been optimized for listening distances of between three and eight

metres, rendering a natural sound pattern in stereo and multichannel operation. Two 1000 W and

two 500 W amplier modules supply the bass, mid and treble channels with sufcient power. The

resulting overload safety ensures that even signals with highest peak levels are not limited. Also,

sound pressure levels of up to 126dB can be performed without audible distortions throughout the

effective frequency range. A room compensation network, integrated into the amplier electronics,

allows control of the room-dependent frequency response.

The vertical arrangement of the 16-inch woofers provides a directivity index that ensures realistic

bass presence even at listening distances of up to eight metres. Our reliable K Technology minimizes

rearward-directed room reections in the bass range and simplies the positioning of the ME 800K in

the listening room. If required, both 16-inch bass units can be operated as subwoofers via the LFE

input.

The low coloration and low distortion of the 6.5-inch high-performance midrange system result from

the intelligent combination of several construction details. The cone loudspeaker, for example, runs

without contact to the enclosure, thus avoiding the problem of cabinet resonances. Instead the

midrange system is operated with a rearward-directed acoustic ow resistor in order to achieve the

desired directivity.

Frequently used wave guides in front of tweeter systems facilitate easy directivity control. However,

they tend to produce unavoidable coloration due to short-time reections on the inner horn surface.

We take a different approach - using a tweeter array and doing without horn loudspeaker systems

for sound level enhancement. The tweeter unit that is arranged coaxially in front of the midrange

system guarantees the trademark low coloration reproduction of sound events with our loudspeakers.

All these features make the ME800K so unique in the loudspeaker market. It is ideal for large

listening distances and for acoustically less attenuated rooms.

“Those who aim at state-of-the-art equipment, ..., are best served by far with the outstandingly

neutral and ultra high-denition Geithain speaker. With its terric coax and the unique bass cardioid,

the ME 800K is the stroke of genius par excellence.” Wolfram Eifert, Stereoplay 01/2010

4.3 Unboxing

The speakers are shipped in proper condition. Unpack the speaker carefully and check for visible

damages. In case of damages report them to your retailer. Keep the packaging, in case the speaker

has to be transported in the future.

4.5 Cleaning

The speaker is made of real wood veneer and needs to be nurtured in the same way as furnishings.

We advise quality wax polish to ensure durability of the veneer. Surfaces can also be cleaned with

tidy, slightly damped, fuzz-free, smooth cloth.

4.6 Environmental conditions

Ensure the following environmental conditions in your listening room:

;Operating temperature +15 °C ... +35 °C (+59 °F ... +95°F)

;Storage temperature range −25 °C ... +45 °C (−13 °F ... +113 °F)

;Relative humidity 45 % ... 75 %

4.7 Guarantee acknowledgements

Opening the device by unauthorized personnel leads to all claims under guarantee expire. In case of

destruction by overload, misuse or outside inuences there are no claims under guarantee.

POSITIONING 7

musikelectronic geithain GmbH ME 800K

5 Positioning

Our speakers do not impose special requirements neither in stereo nor in multichannel set-ups.

Nonetheless speaker positioning has inuence on listening impression because every room is

individually designed and furnished. The following advices are just guidelines that ease proper

positioning. In addition we offer a measurement service to take advantage of the capabilities of your

listening environment.

5.1 Positioning near walls

When speakers are installed near walls sound quality is physically affected. Every customary speaker

behaves as a punctual sonic source in the low frequency range, with sonic waves spherical radiated

without any constructional measures. Back wall reections are unavoidable.

The speakers ME800K however utilize cardioid radiation characteristics with rearward attenuation

greater than 10dB. Because of this structural measurement installation near walls is considerably

less critical. For optimum listening experience a minimum distance of 20 cm (7.9″) to walls and

furniture should be ensured. Avoid corner installations because unwanted bass accentuation could

arise.

;Minimum distance to wall b ≥ 20 cm (7.9″)

POSITIONING 8

musikelectronic geithain GmbH ME 800K

5.2 Stereo operation

The optimum position of the speakers in your listening environment is the so-called stereo triangle

(see gure). The base distance between the speakers and the distance to the hearing zone form

an equilateral triangle (stereo triangle). A distance less than 3 m (9′10″) or more than 8 m (26′3″)

should be avoided. For precise,spacial reproduction turn the speakers inside,directed to the hearing

zone.
