unit of volume. This allows for a smaller physical

size driver and thus closer driver to driver place

ment for improved dispersion.

• Midrange Crossover Points

The ML1 uses two types of midrange units:

lower midrange/woofer and upper midrange.

The midrange band has been broken up into two

sections in order to aid the transition of output

from the woofer to the upper midrange frequen

cies, and to reduce the amplitude requirements of a

midrange driver at low frequencies while radiating

higher frequencies, reducing doppler distortion.

The upper 2” midrange unit was specially designed

to have a low resonance so its crossover point

can be lower than the typical 1 KHz of most

loudspeakers, and span the critical vocal region of

male and female singers.

Two 4 inch lower midranges are used in the ML1

to provide a symmetrical radiation pattern. This

improves the listening window and sonic imaging.

• Low Harmonic and Intermodulation

Distortion

The ML1 Loudspeaker System is capable of

reproducing the full dynamic range of a symphony

orchestra with very low audible distortion of any

kind.

• Sealed Enclosure

The ML1 uses acoustic suspension design

techniques. This type of loading was pioneered

decades ago, and uses a linear air spring of the

enclosure to keep distortion low, suspension under

control at all times, and provide an extended low

frequency output below resonance.

• High Power Handling

Components of the ML1 are all chosen for use with

• Loudspeaker Protection

The ML1’s built-in speaker protection incorporates

four automatic resetting solid-state devices in the

crossover network. One protects the tweeters, one

each for the low and upper midrange drivers and

one for the woofers.

• Superior Imaging

Locating the Super Tweeter between the multiple

Midrange drivers generates a symmetrical polar

response for superior imaging. The Midrange and

Super Tweeter Drivers are precisely aligned and

closely spaced on the precision machined mount

• McIntosh Custom Binding Posts

McIntosh patented gold plated output terminals

deliver high current output. They accept large

diameter wire and spade lugs. Banana plugs may

also be used in the US and Canada.

• Loudspeaker Enclosure

The ML1 enclosure is constructed with multiple

front to back and side to side internal braces to

form a dampened rigid Loudspeaker enclosure.

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

I want to connect a speaker to my television with HDMI, which port should I use? Verified

You need to use the HDMI-ARC port, which is specifically made for connecting audio equipment.

What do the frequencies say about my speaker? Verified

It indicates the range of frequencies that the speaker can produce. A bigger range of frequencies will provide a larger variation in sound en produce higher quality sound.

This was helpful (751) Read more

When is my music too loud? Verified

Sounds over 80 decibel (dB) can start to damage hearing. Sounds over 120 dB immediately damage hearing. The severity of the damage depens on how often and how long the sound is present.

Does bluetooth work through walls and ceilings? Verified

A bluetooth signal will work through walls and ceiling, unless these are made from metal. Depending on the thickness and the material of the wall the signal can lose in strength.

Up to what noise level is it safe for children? Verified

Children get their hearing damaged quicker than adults. Therefore it is important to never expose children to noise louder than 85dB. In the case of headphones there are special models for children. In case of speakers or other situations you have to be watchful the noise does not exceed that level.
