French high-end sound reinforcement manufacturer Amadeus releases the ML 8 compact 8-inch subwoofer at Prolight + Sound 2014. — Frankfurt, Germany, Prolight + Sound —
March 12, 2014 — At the Musikmesse ‘Prolight + Sound’ exhibition in Frankfurt, Amadeus, based in France, one of the premiere manufacturers of high-end sound reinforcement systems and custom studio speakers, has announced the release of its new ML 8 ultra-compact subwoofer. The ML 8 subwoofer is designed for space-limited installation or live use by sound professionals wishing to combine high sonic fidelity with an ultra-compact format.
The ML 8 is the smallest member of Amadeus’ ML Series that now range from 8-inches to dual 18-inch models. The ML 8 subwoofer can be paired perfectly with the newly released PMX 4 ultra-compact speaker, also just released at Prolight + Sound. Amadeus is showing the new ML 8 compact subwoofer within the Prolight + Sound area in Hall 8 Booth G19.
The new ML 8 compact subwoofer completes the Amadeus ML Subwoofer Series speaker line as the smallest in its line, which includes the dual 18, 18, 15, 12, and 8-inch models, each available in passive, self-powered and EtherSound-enabled versions.
In the same way as the Amadeus ML 12, ML 15, ML 18 and ML 28 speakers, the newly developed ML 8 is also built around a proprietary internal reinforcement structure designed to neutralize any standing waves and to suppress energy loss caused by vibrations. This unique construction technique creates, among other things, a dramatic cut in the level of cabinet coloration of the sound using a combination of interlocking panels arranged in two perpendicular planes.
Michel DELUC, lead designer at Amadeus says, “We started to develop the ML 8 from the ML 12 ultra-compact format and tried to reduce its size by 25% while preserving both the sonic clarity, the real tonal accuracy and the extreme precision of the lowest frequencies specific to Amadeus LF loudspeakers. We achieved this through a quite complex internal structure, hosting several tuned notch resonators and a terrific 8-inch (200 mm) transducer with a 3-inch (75 mm) ventilated voice coil, designed to reduce all forms of distortion and coloration to a bare minimum.”
The ML 8 draws 600 watts peak from the line, under an 8-ohm impedance and produces 118 dB peak SPL.
The subwoofer is available in a highly wear resistant black (water-soluble) paint finish, but is also available in several standard colors. Or the ML 8 can be ordered in a ‘made to measure’ finish, based on registered or non-registered colors and/or materials. To offer more possibilities, the cabinet and the acoustical fabric covering the front grill can each have a different color.
