Designed for both portable and permanent installations, the Turbosound MILAN M12 is a portable powered 12" two-way loudspeaker featuring two independent input channels (Mic/Line), a two-band master EQ (Bass, Treble), intelligent limiting, and a Mix Out function for connecting additional powered loudspeakers for easy system expansion.

The 1100W Class-D amplifier delivers 1000W to the 12" high-excursion woofer and 100W to the 1" high-temperature dome compression driver, which combine for a frequency response of 50 Hz to 18 kHz (±3 dB) and a maximum SPL of 128 dB, plenty of volume for 300 patrons. The M12’s discrete inputs are each equipped with balanced combo XLR-1/4" connectors and a level control, making them ideally suited for a wide range of music sources, from low-impedance microphones, acoustic guitars, and keyboards to mp3 players and mixing consoles.

From the instant your signal enters the MILAN M12, the built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) takes over, ensuring the highest possible signal integrity. Much more than just selective EQ enhancement, the M12's 24-bit DSP analyzes the incoming signal and intelligently applies specific filters to actually improve the sound quality. It is very much like having an audio engineer monitoring the input and output signals of each M12, dialing in the perfect EQ and constantly making subtle adjustments to the crossover, compressor/limiter, and more, adding up to significantly better sound.

Thanks to revolutionary Class-D amplifier technology, the M12 is able to provide enormous power and incredible sonic performance in an easy-to-use ultraportable, lightweight package. Class-D amplification offers the ultimate in energy efficiency, eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and massive heat sinks. The lightweight switched-mode power supply, coupled with the industry-leading Klark Teknik Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module, provides dynamic equalization and sophisticated limiting functions, ensuring optimal performance and long-term reliability.

With its 1100W of pristine digital output delivered through separately powered drivers (courtesy of true bi-amping, which uses two amplifiers per speaker system), the M12 delivers high-resolution sound that brings out the best in your music.

The MILAN M12 loudspeaker features a high-excursion 12" low-frequency driver and a 1" high-temperature dome compression driver, to perform flawlessly in conjunction with every other element for truly professional results.

The M12's HF compression driver is mated to a specially designed converging elliptical waveguide, which provides a smooth and pristine midrange-to-high-frequency transition while maintaining wide dispersion and exceptional pattern control.

The onboard mixer features a level control for each input and a two-band master EQ, complete with a switchable low-cut filter (set at 100 Hz), which allows the M12 to provide superb clarity and projection when used as a wedge monitor or to ensure correct integration with subwoofers. An additional filter allows the user to select Speech (for enhanced voice intelligibility), or Music for the broader frequency range required for the high-fidelity reproduction of musical content. A convenient Mix Out XLR connector sends a post-EQ mix of both input channels to additional powered loudspeakers, for fast and easy system expansion.

The M12's trapezoidal enclosure is fabricated from high-density polypropylene, and ribbed extensively externally and internally to eliminate resonances and to provide an attractive, durable cabinet finish. The symmetrical 43° side angles allow the loudspeaker to be conveniently used as a floor monitor. A recessed carry handle on the top is provided for easy lifting and transport, while the dual-angle pole-mount socket allows the loudspeaker to be mounted on straight poles or speaker stands, either vertically or raised higher and angled down to optimize audience coverage. A total of six M10 rigging points are provided on the top and bottom of the cabinet for secure vertical or horizontal suspension in permanent installations using M10 shoulder eyebolts.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How do I meter the power output in HS mode? Do I need a special light meter or a regular flash meter will work?

A: Some third-party meters (e.g. Sekonic) offer the ability to meter in HS mode however we have not tested these units.

Q: 2. What is the flash duration of these strobes?

A: Interfit advertises a t.1 flash duration of 1/8000th.

Q: 3. Can the output be routed to a (Mackie) power amp driving 4 (Electro Voice 10 PA) speakers?

A: The Driverack PA2 features 3 sets of line level outputs, low , med, and high, with adjustable crossover points. These can be routed to any power amp using the proper cables. The unit is also able to output full range from a single set of outputs as well. This is also accessible via the menu.

Q: 4. What's the best way to put gels on these heads?

A: The easiest way to put gels on these lights would be to use gaff tape.

Q: 5. Do I need to purchase the transmitter module (for Canon) separately from this package? -Clarke

A: Transmitters are not included with the kits. It is recommended that you purchase one of these remotes separately to access the full TTL and HSS features. However, the lights can be triggered with 3rd-party transmitters and receivers via the 3.5mm sync port.

Q: 6. Can I connect a PocketWizard to this?

A: Yes. The Siros L has a sync port which can be triggered by a plugged in receiver.

Q: 7. What is the minimal focal distance of the lens? i.e. how close can you bring any object to the lens whilst it is still acceptably sharp?

A: If you still want to be focused to infinity then the minimum focus distance for the 3.8mm M12 lens is about half a meter. If you don't care about infinity and are only concerned about near focus with a very shallow depth of field, you can set the focus of the 3.8mm mm to about 1cm away from the lens.

Q: 8. I use midas m32 mixer and dl32 stage box, i can use klark teknik dn9620 on fiber cable? klark teknik dn9620 have Rx and Tx? I buy one order have1 pair ithe box?

A: That is correct, you would need another Klark Teknik DN9620 or a device that has an opticalCON port. This is illustrated on page 07 of the manual for the Klark Teknik DN9620. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/794460/Klark-Teknik-Dn9620.html?page=7#manual

Q: 9. Does this work with an Olympus OMD em10 ii?
