Benefits
The Miles Technology M86 Multisonic
®
Imager will
benefit a sound system in many ways:
Multisonic
®
Imaging
With patented Multisonic™ Imaging, the “sweet
spot” is enlarged to practically the
whole room
,
allowing an entire audience to simultaneously
hear great stereo sound.
Designed For Professional Stereo
The M86 is designed for auditoriums, theaters,
sanctuaries, nightclubs, A/V systems, corporate
boardrooms, studios, touring systems, DJ
systems, multimedia rooms, commercial and
home theater, home audio, post production, and
many other types of installed and portable
sound systems.
Compatible With All Program Sources
The Multisonic Imager works perfectly with all
program material, including compact discs,
tapes, video, stereo-surround audio or video
programming, broadcast, and live signal
sources. It perfectly accommodates separate
signal feeds for center or surround channels,
using the balanced discrete-input connections.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
All inputs and outputs include balanced
connections for maximum signal integrity.
Discrete 5.1 RCA Inputs
This input connection accommodates a DVD
player (which has analog outputs) for
convenient integration into a 5.1 system. A
separate level control is provided for this input
to balance the system.
5.1-to Multisonic Switch
Most DVD’s, with discrete center (and certainly
those without), will benefit greatly with
Multisonic Imaging. With this function, the
sound will be an optimum combination of
discrete 5.1 and Multisonic imaging.
Additional RCA Inputs
Three stereo pairs of RCA input connections
are provided in addition to the balanced XLR
inputs. These are for additional input sources.
All of the stereo inputs are mixed together so
that whichever device is active will be heard
without any user intervention.
Subwoofer Crossover and Bass
Management
The built-in fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley
crossover filters provide an optimized
subwoofer output derived from all sources,
including 2.0 (two-channel stereo), 5.1, 5.0, 4.0,
etc. Switchable high-pass filters allow
optimization of the main loudspeakers’ bass
performance also.
Discrete Center and Subwoofer Inputs
These balanced inputs allow optimum use of
the center and subwoofer channels with specific
input sources during live productions.
Cleaner and More Dynamic Sound
Using three instead of two loudspeaker and
amplifier channels, the sound is much cleaner
with less distortion and more headroom. For the
same resulting sound level
each loudspeaker
operates at
a lower power
and
lower distortion
level
.
Superior To Discrete L-C-R Systems
Loudspeaker coverage limitations often prevent
full-width soundstaging with discrete L-C-R
systems because listeners at one side of the
room may be unable to hear the loudspeaker on
the opposite side. The M86 solves this, allowing
more flexibility for the mix engineer.
In addition, it properly presents two-channel
stereo signal sources with the sound system.
SpreadSound™ Surround Outputs
These outputs provide the
cleanest possible
stereo surround signal derived from stereo
sources; it is much more natural than digital-
delay or decorrelation methods.
Simple and Precise Setup
The task of balancing all the levels in a multi-
channel system is simplified and the guesswork
is removed. Setup is very quick with any signal
source.
No Distortion
Multisonic Imaging is a completely high-fidelity
process; it does not add harmonic, frequency,
phase, or dynamic distortion. There is no
“steering,” and there are no unnatural digital
artifacts or other side effects typical of other
multichannel decoders. From a signal-quality
standpoint, the Multisonic Imager is transparent.
