1 Introduction
Dear customer,
Thank you for the trust you have put in us by buying these speakers. You decided upon a quality
product that in regard to tonal and technical characteristics complies to the utmost expectations.
The usual burn-in period is not required, because the speakers are articially aged in-house.
Please read the technical description and manual to take advantage of the capabilities
of these speakers and ensure safe operation.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 3
musikelectronic geithain GmbH ME 802K
3 System description
The 4-way concept of the ME 802K comprises three 10-inch woofer systems, a 6.5-inch high-
performance midrange system and a tweeter array with three vertically arranged 1-inch dome
tweeters. The directivity of the system has been optimized for listening distances of between three
and eight metres, rendering a natural sound pattern in stereo and multichannel operation. Two 1000 W
and two 500 W amplier modules supply the bass, mid and treble channels with sufcient power. The
resulting overload safety ensures that even signals with highest peak levels are not limited. Also,
sound pressure levels of up to 125dB can be performed without audible distortions throughout the
effective frequency range. A room compensation network, integrated into the amplier electronics,
allows control of the room-dependent frequency response.
The vertical arrangement of the 10-inch woofers provides a directivity index that ensures realistic
bass presence even at listening distances of up to eight metres. Our reliable K Technology minimizes
rearward-directed room reections in the bass range and simplies the positioning of the ME 802K
in the listening room. If required, the three 10-inch bass units can be operated as subwoofers via
the LFE input.
The low coloration and low distortion of the 6.5-inch high-performance midrange system result from
the intelligent combination of several construction details. The cone loudspeaker, for example, runs
without contact to the enclosure, thus avoiding the problem of cabinet resonances. Instead, the
midrange system is operated with a rearward-directed acoustic ow resistor in order to achieve the
desired directivity.
Frequently used wave guides in front of tweeter systems make directivity control easy. However,
they tend to produce unavoidable coloration due to short-time reections on the inner horn surface.
We take a different approach by using a tweeter array and doing without horn loudspeaker systems
for sound level enhancement. The tweeter unit that is arranged coaxially in front of the midrange
system guarantees the trademark low coloration reproduction of sound events in our loudspeakers.
All these features make the ME802K so unique on the loudspeaker market. It is ideal for large
listening distances and for acoustically less attenuated rooms.

4.5 Cleaning
The speaker is made of real wood veneer and needs to be nurtured in the same way as furnishings.
We advise quality wax polish to ensure durability of the veneer. Surfaces can also be cleaned with
tidy, slightly damped, fuzz-free, smooth cloth.
4.6 Environmental conditions
Ensure the following environmental conditions in your listening room:
;Operating temperature +15 °C ... +35°C (+59°F ... +95°F)
;Storage temperature range −25 °C ... +45 °C (−13 °F ... +113 °F)
;Relative humidity 45 % ... 75 %
4.7 Guarantee acknowledgements
Opening the device by unauthorized personnel leads to all claims under guarantee expire. In case of
destruction by overload, misuse or outside inuences there are no claims under guarantee.
POSITIONING 7
musikelectronic geithain GmbH ME 802K
5 Positioning
Our speakers do not impose special requirements neither in stereo nor in multichannel set-ups.
Nonetheless speaker positioning has inuence on listening impression because every room is
individually designed and furnished. The following advices are just guidelines that ease proper
positioning. In addition we offer a measurement service to take advantage of the capabilities of your
listening environment.
5.1 Positioning near walls
When speakers are installed near walls sound quality is physically affected. Every customary speaker
behaves as a punctual sonic source in the low frequency range, with sonic waves spherical radiated
without any constructional measures. Back wall reections are unavoidable.
The speakers ME802K however utilize cardioid radiation characteristics with rearward attenuation
greater than 10dB. Because of this structural measurement installation near walls is considerably
less critical. For optimum listening experience a minimum distance of 20 cm (7.9″) to walls and
furniture should be ensured. Avoid corner installations because unwanted bass accentuation could
arise.

POSITIONING 8

5.2 Stereo operation
The optimum position of the speakers in your listening environment is the so-called stereo triangle
(see gure). The base distance between the speakers and the distance to the hearing zone form
an equilateral triangle (stereo triangle). A distance less than 3 m (9′10″) or more than 8 m (26′3″)
should be avoided. For precise,spacial reproduction turn the speakers inside,directed to the hearing
zone.
