Connector wiring

The amplifier inputs are designed to accept balanced (three conductor) connections, and it is recommended that this method be used since it offers the best rejection of noise, hum and radio interference, especially where long cable runs are involved. XLR connectors should be wired pin 2 hot, while the standard wiring for 3-pole jack plug connectors is tip hot (+ve) and ring cold (-ve) as shown below.

Some signal sources such as keyboards, acoustic guitars with on-board electronics, and some microphones commonly provide only an unbalanced output on a 2-pole jack connector. The Milan loudspeaker can handle these connections without any rewiring since pin 3 (-ve) of the input is automatically grounded by the jack plug.

If an unbalanced source is to be connected to an input channel via the XLR input connector, either 2-pole or 3-pole jack plugs can be used. In both cases pin 3 should be connected to pin 1 (ground) at the XLR as shown here.

Some sources such as mp3 players or CD players commonly provide 2-pole unbalanced phono connectors, and these can be connected to a Milan input channel via either the XLR connector or jack connector. In either case wire the connectors as follows:

MI5 specifications

The Turbosound MI5 is a compact and highly versatile loudspeaker designed for a variety of audio applications, including live sound reinforcement, portable PA setups, and installations in venues that require high-quality audio reproduction. Known for its exceptional sound clarity, the MI5 is favored by audio professionals around the world for both its performance and reliability.

One of the standout features of the MI5 is its proprietary driver technology. It houses a custom-designed 15-inch low-frequency driver, which provides deep, powerful bass response while maintaining clarity across the frequency spectrum. This is complemented by a 1-inch high-frequency compression driver that delivers crisp, detailed high frequencies. Together, these drivers ensure a well-balanced sound that can handle a wide range of musical genres and vocal styles.

The MI5 employs a unique waveguide design, allowing for optimal dispersion of sound across a wide area. This technology ensures that the audience, regardless of where they are seated, receives a consistent audio experience. The controlled dispersion minimizes sound reflection and feedback issues, providing clear audio in challenging acoustic environments.

Durability is another key characteristic of the MI5. Constructed from robust materials, the cabinet is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and installation use. The speaker features a rugged exterior with a weather-resistant coating, making it suitable for outdoor use and variable weather conditions. Additionally, it includes integrated rigging points for ease of mounting and installation, enhancing its versatility for different setups.

The MI5 also boasts a high power handling capability, allowing it to operate effectively in high-demand environments without distortion. This makes it suitable for various applications, from small venues to larger events. Furthermore, the speaker operates efficiently with a wide range of amplifiers, making it a flexible choice for sound engineers.

In summary, the Turbosound MI5 offers a compelling combination of powerful bass, clear highs, and robust construction, making it an ideal solution for both live sound applications and fixed installations. Its advanced technologies and thoughtful design make it a trusted choice among audio professionals looking for performance and reliability in a compact package.
