Milan MI5 Self-Powered Loudspeaker

The Milan MI5 is a self-powered sound reinforcement loudspeaker designed for many different portable and permanently installed applications.

It consists of a 450 watt program 15” neodymium low frequency driver, matched with a 1” neodymium high frequency compression driver on a 90° horizontal x 60° vertical horn, together with a Class D amplifier module providing two input channels and on-board DSP.

The low frequency driver is a custom-designed 15” unit using a 2.5” voice coil driven by a neodymium ring magnet. The custom-developed 1” exit HF compression driver feeds a wide dispersion Converging Elliptical Waveguide for smooth and even coverage over a wide audience area.

These high quality professional components are housed in a lightweight, stylish and durable trapezoidal moulded polypropylene cabinet that is instantly adaptable to front-of-house or floor monitoring applications. The cabinet is extensively ribbed and internally damped. This design feature increases the

cabinet’s rigidity and eliminates internal reflections, which translates into better transient response and improved bass reproduction. It also keeps the weight of the cabinet as low as possible.

Milan is equipped with a dual angle pole mount socket which allows it to be angled down for better coverage when used with tripod stands or for mounting on top of bass cabinets. Lifting and carrying is made easy with the provision of built-in handles on the sides, as well as a scoop handle on the top of the cabinet.

The Milan cabinet provides M10 rigging points on the top and bottom for suspending horizontally or vertically in permanent installs.
