MICA™ is a self-powered, three-way loud-

speaker 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 high-

power curvilinear array loudspeaker is equally

system for smaller venues.

The loudspeaker provides very high acoustic

output, with a single MICA producing a peak

output of 138 dB SPL at one meter. High

output combines with exceptionally flat phase

and frequency response over a wide operating

range of 60 Hz to 18 kHz. MICA’s frequency

response, with its extended high-frequency

characteristics, is quite compatible with MILO

in applications where both loudspeaker types

at lower frequencies to take advantage of

their combined acoustic output, while one

of the drivers rolls off before the crossover

frequency to maintain optimal polar and

frequency response.

The high-frequency section — at the center

between the two cone drivers — consists of

narrow vertical dispersion is ideally suited

for use in curvilinear arrays, allowing minimal

destructive interaction in the high frequencies

between adjacent enclosures. Compared to

other methods, REM produces a smoothly

controlled wavefront with less distortion

and with the far higher output generated by

compression drivers.

Newly designed QuickFly® rigging hardware

uses captive GuideALinks™ contained within

recessed guides in the front and rear corners

of the cabinet. A slot and convenient pinned

handle allow the link to be moved and pinned

for arraying or storage. The rear link permits

10 splay angles between 0 and 6 degrees (in

0.5-degree increments from 0 to 3 degrees,

and in 1-degree increments from 3 to 6

degrees); the two-position front link may be

Options for MICA include a weather-protected

version with a rain hood to safeguard the

Signal Flow for a Typical Reinforcement System

MICA Vertical Splay and Coverage

MICA loudspeakers permit versatile arrays and are compatible with other Meyer Sound reinforcement loudspeakers, giving sound designers

maximum freedom to customize systems for their needs. This block diagram illustrates the signal flow for a typical sound reinforcement

system using 12 MICA cabinets per side for the main arrays.

These illustrations show how the splay between adjacent cabinets in a MICA

array may be adjusted to tailor coverage for a specific venue. The MAPP

Online plots on the right illustrate the vertical directivity characteristics of the

array on the left, with a section view of an example venue superimposed.
