OVERVIEW

The RMS-Acoustics M12X is a coaxial stage monitor loudspeaker system, designed to deliver output levels comparable to the highest output conventional premium 2-way systems, with superior pattern control, directional consistency and a precise transient response that only a coaxial loudspeaker can provide.

The M12X features an advanced high frequency waveguide that also acts as a phasing plug for the 12” cone loudspeaker. The horn is quite large for its size, yielding consistent pattern control and a low crossover point. The phasing plug improves the response of the cone loudspeaker minimizing the equalization and phase correction needed, thus aiding the transition between sources over the crossover band.

The M12X features a 35° fold-back angle angle for monitoring application, with a clean, low profile yielding little to no impact on sight lines. Its tailor-able pattern control, easy mounting and array ability with RMS-Acoustics array brackets allow a simple, versatile, and cost effective method to tailor a sound reinforcement solution to achieve the best possible acoustical results in almost any space.

Optimized nonlinear venting improves the low frequency impedance compared to conventional enclosures, while maintaining better mechanical cone control when low frequency extension is required. The result is tight, punchy bass that also goes deep.

The M12X enclosure is crafted from premium multi-ply birch with a finely textured polyurethane finish that is impact and UV resistant. A powder-coated, punched and laser cut steel grille protects the cabinet internal from the elements. Full weather protection and custom color finishes are also available. The weatherized option provides and IP54 rating.

The optimum processed amplifier solutions for the RMS-Acoustics M12X are the Linea Research 44M10 series and 44C10 series amplifiers, with proprietary presets provided by RMS-Acoustics. All other Linea Research M series and C series amplifiers can also be used.
