The d&b audiotechnik M2 Monitor is a 2-way high-performance stage monitor, with a peak sound pressure level of 143 dB. Its design uses a low-height cabinet, achieves a constant directivity of 45° x 60° > 600 Hz, and significantly raises the feedback stability margin. Together with the cabinet baffle angle of 40° (to the floor), the dispersion performance offers a realistic artist listening area starting directly above the cabinet and reaching quite far upstage. The result is a loudspeaker system with remarkable vocal presence, clarity, and neutral, balanced sound. The M2 cabinet is constructed from marine plywood, incorporates handles, and has an impact-resistant paint finish. Two fittings, which accept ball-lock shackle pins, are located on each side of the cabinet allowing quick and flexible rigging.
