With an output of 600W (450W LF and 140W HF) from the power amplifier, the M 212 is capable of achieving peak SPLs in excess of 131dB/1m with minimal distortion. The sound is therefore projected almost twice as far as from a conventional passive speaker. Just as much attention has been paid to safety, however, as to power, with the Voice Coil Tracking Protection safeguarding the system against thermal overload.
The Madras M 212, with its asymmetric, birch multiplex enclosure, is ideal for high-quality, high-power active 3-way applications - in the rental business, for example. Combined with sub-woofers such as the Madras M 18, the new M 212 contributes power and projection to the mid/high range, say Dynacord, as well as offering high gain-before-feedback and high-end monitoring, while the use of Class H technology has made it possible to reduce considerably the power loss, power consumption and weight of the enclosure.
