MILO 120 Nominated for 2005 TEC Award
The Mix Foundation has announced that Meyer Sound’s MILO 120 high-power expanded coverage curvilinear array loudspeaker has been nominated to receive a 2005 Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) award in the category of Outstanding Technical Achievement, Sound Reinforcement Technology. The nomination is Meyer Sound’s 20th in the 21 years of the TEC award’s existence, and the company has won five times, most recently last year for the MILO high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker. Meyer Sound was also honored last year by the choice of the UPA-1 loudspeaker as one of the 25 initial inductees into the new TECnology Hall of Fame.
The TEC awards ceremony will take place Saturday, 8th October at the New York Marriott Marquis on the second night of the 119th AES Convention. Founded in 1985 by Mix magazine, the TEC Awards is the foremost program recognizing the achievements of audio professionals. Presented annually by the Mix Foundation for Excellence in Audio since the foundation’s creation in 1990, the TEC Awards honor the individuals, companies and technical innovations behind the sound of recordings, films, TV shows and live performances.
The self-powered MILO 120 loudspeaker was the second member of the MILO family, now consisting of four models (MILO, MILO 60, MILO 120 and MICA), and was intended to provide a downfill loudspeaker matched to MILO’s sound and compatible with its form factor and rigging. With its 120 degrees of horizontal coverage and 20 degrees (nominal) of vertical coverage, MILO 120 can also be used on its own for situations where expanded coverage is needed, such as some fill applications.
MILO 120 has seen enthusiastic acceptance from the ever-growing list of sound companies and installations relying on MILO for their main arrays. Tours ranging from Rod Stewart to Avril Lavigne have found MILO 120 the perfect complement, maintaining even coverage without losing the smooth, extended high-frequency response for which the MILO family is renowned.
The MILO 120 low/low-mid frequency section comprises two neodymium magnet 12-inch drivers with 4-inch voice coils in a two-way arrangement in which an integral crossover rolls off one driver above 180 Hz to maintain optimal polar and frequency response. The high frequency section uses a 1.5-inch exit, 4-inch diaphragm compression driver coupled to a 120-degree constant directivity horn through Meyer Sound’s patented REM ribbon emulation manifold. A dedicated very-high-frequency section, with extended range to 18 kHz, employs two 0.75-inch exit, 2-inch diaphragm compression drivers coupled via a second REM to an additional 120-degree horn.
All MILO 120 transducers are designed and manufactured by Meyer Sound, and driven by an on-board, four-channel class AB/H amplifier with 3560 watts of total output power.
