1 Introduction

Dear customer,

Thank you for your trust you have put in us by buying these speakers. You decided upon a quality

product that in regard to tonal and technical characteristics complies to the utmost expectations.

Theusualburn-inperiodisnotrequired,becausethespeakersarearticiallyagedin-house.

Please read the technical description and manual to take advantage of the capabilities

of these speakers and ensure safe operation.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 4

musikelectronic geithain GmbH ME 801K1

2 System description

High level + large room = big loudspeaker? The ME 801K1 is about to rebut that. Longer reverb, larger

rooms and listening distances easily spoil the fun for the ambitious music listener. The ME801K1 makes

useofafewthingsoutofthebagoftrickslledthroughoutthelonghistoryofthecompanywithmuch

technical know how.

As well as the legendary RL 901K the ME 801K1 uses a 16 inch long throw woofer. ME Geithain’s

typical cardioid dispersion behaviour in the lower frequency range from 25 to 250Hz minimizes

reectionsbehindthespeakerssopositioningislesscritical.A highefciency6.5inchmidrange

cone driver and an array of three 1 inch dome tweeters are coaxially mounted in front of the low

range driver. This arrangement ensures the directivity that is needed in large rooms to minimize

reectionsandprovidesanirresistiblespatiality.Theirhighsensitivityoffernotonlyimpressivelevel

and dynamic capabilities but also low distortion. The consequent use of the coaxial technology has

another undeniable advantage: the size of the speaker is obviously reduced. Thanks to housing the

amplierinitsowncabinetthedimensionsarefurtherreduced.Theelectronicpartconsistsofthree

PWMampliersandananaloguelterequippedwitharoomequalizationltertoadjustthespeaker

tothepositioninandthepropertiesofthelisteningroom.Theampliersdeliverapowerof1000W

in the low frequency channel and 500W each in the mid and treble channels. Therefore dynamical

limits of the whole system are no concern.

Despite all of these features the ME801K1 sticks to its roots and has all the virtues our customers value:

neutrality, homogeneity, low colouration and longevity.

An elegant stand for the ME801K1 is available upon request.

3.5 Cleaning

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

quality wax polish to ensure durability of the veneer. Surfaces can also be cleaned with tidy, slightly

damped, fuzz-free, smooth cloth.

3.6 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 801K1

4 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.

4.1 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 however utilize cardioid dispersion behaviour with rearward attenuation greater than

10 dB. Because of this structural measurement installation near walls is considerably less critical. For

optimum listening experience a minimum distance of 20cm (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 801K1

4.2 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 3m (10 ft) or more than 6 m (20 ft) should

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

POSITIONING 9

4.3 Surround operation

In surround operation the stereo triangle (see Stereo operation) is extended to a circle. The hearing

zone is the center of this circle. Position all speakers in the same distance to the hearing zone. The

center speaker is positioned in the middle between both front speakers. Pay attention to positioning

the front and rear speakers horizontally along one plane. The angle between center and rear speakers

should be about 110° - 120°.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS 10

musikelectronic geithain GmbH ME 801K1

5 Connecting the speakers

In this chapter we inform you how to connect your speakers to mains and your signal source. Ensure

thatthemainsswitchonthebacksideoftheampliercaseisinposition“OFF”.Onlywhenyour

speaker is completely connected (see chapters 5.1 and 5.2) you can take the device into operation

by use of the mains switch.

The speaker is connectable to any signal source (UA= 1 Volt ... 5 Volt; Ri< 600 Ohm).

5.1 Connection of the speakers with the separate amplier

OnlyusethesuppliedSpeakoncabletoconnectthespeakerswiththeirseparateampliers!

Thespeakerandtheseparateamplierarepairedbythesameserialnumber,printedonthebackof

each device. Connect the corresponding units with the Speakon cable. Ensure that the latch snaps in

placeinthesocketsofthespeakerandtheamplierbyturningtheplugclockwise.

To release the connectorcable from the speakerandthe amplier, slide the latch on topof the

connector back and turn the connector anticlockwise.

5.2 Mains connection

Check the mains voltage state on the backside of the device. If your local mains voltage does not

matchthespecicationofthespeaker,pleaserefertoyourretailerordirectdistribution.Whenthe

stated and your local mains voltage comply connect the mains connector of the speaker to the

socket with the included mains cable.

5.3 Cable connection

Theinputoftheintegratedamplieriselectricallybalanced.Whenyoursignalsourcealsoutilizes

balanced connectors, please use a cable wired as stated in the table:
