The EM Acoustics M-C12 is the smaller of two coaxial stage monitors from EM Acoustics – a compact two-way design intended to satisfy the most demanding artist. The M-C12, and the larger companion M-C15 – are intended not only to be world-class stage monitors, but also to suit today’s rental market by being genuine multi-purpose loudspeakers.
- Features allow use both as a stage monitor but also a powerful FOH or installation product
- 60°H x 40°V constant directivity waveguide
- Premium 15mm multi-laminate birch plywood enclosure
- Impact and weather resistant black or white textured finish as standard
- RAL colour and enhanced weather protection options
- 35mm polemount (hidden inside handle) and four M8 threaded rigging points
- Hex punched stainless steel grille backed with acoustically transparent black fabric
The low profile enclosure contains a 12” (305mm) neodymium LF drive unit with a coaxial 1.3” (33mm) exit HF compression drive unit, linked via the internal passive crossover network. Both the LF and HF drive units share the same magnet assembly, reducing overall weight and enclosure profile – making the M-C12 one of the lowest profile 12” stage monitors on the market today at only 316mm (12.4”) tall. The HF drive unit is coupled to a bespoke constant-directivity waveguide, which produces a 40°H x 60°V dispersion pattern on stage.
The M-C12 requires a single amplifier channel, and the use of external DSP is recommended for system protection with high pass filters and limiters – as such it is recommended to be used with EM Acoustics’ range of Advanced System Amplifiers. It is however possible to use other DSP-enabled amplifiers, or conventional amplifiers with external DSP. Suitable DSP settings are provided on the EM Acoustics website. The M-C12 requires a single amplifier channel capable of delivering 750-1000W RMS into an 8-ohm load.
