Meyer Sound MICA Powered Line Array Loudspeaker
Meyer Sound MICA Powered Line Array Loudspeaker
MICA™ is a self-powered, three-way loudspeaker designed for vertical curvilinear arraying. A member of the MILO® family of high-power curvilinear array loudspeakers, the MICA loudspeaker is ideal for applications that do not require quite as much power and throw distance as MILO and where weight and size is a concern. The MICA compact highpower curvilinear array loudspeaker is equally applicable in a wide variety of applications such as touring, rental and fixed installations. MICA provides an excellent complement to a MILO main system for tours that are playing a variety of venues, being used as sidefills for large arenas and sheds and as the main system for smaller venues.
Features:
- Very high power-to-size ratio
- Exceptional fidelity and transient response for intelligibility and high-impact
- Seamless integration with MILO
- Wide and even horizontal coverage pattern across the full bandwidth
- QuickFly rigging system with new captive GuideALinks simplifies use in flown or ground-stacked arrays
