M3 MAX
The M3 MAX is a compact passive line array module for sound reinforcement projects that need a system configured to suit the venue. Amplification and processing are handled by external SE AUDIOTECHNIK rack amplifiers with dedicated DSP, keeping those system components separate from the loudspeaker modules. This approach gives system designers flexibility in how they plan the overall setup. The modules can be flown or ground-stacked, making the M3 MAX suitable for a range of fixed installations and medium to large-sized mobile performances.
APPLICATIONS: The M3 MAX is designed for fixed installations and medium to large mobile productions where a passive system is preferred. Its modular format allows the line array to be configured for the space and sound reinforcement requirements whether it is for theaters, concert halls or sports or tourism venues.
- Adapt to the project: Build a system around the venue and sound reinforcement requirements, rather than relying on a fixed configuration.
- Keep amplification and processing external: The passive design uses separate SE AUDIOTECHNIK rack amplifiers with dedicated DSP, giving system designers control over how the system is configured.
- Choose the right setup for the venue: M3 MAX modules can be flown or ground-stacked to suit the installation and available space.
- Use one module across different applications: The same line array platform is designed for fixed installations and medium to large-sized mobile performances.
- Plan and expand a modular system: The scalable design supports configurations tailored to the project’s coverage requirements.
Different venues and events place different demands on a sound reinforcement system. The M3 MAX is a compact passive line array module designed to let sound professionals configure a system around those requirements. Its modular, scalable design supports project-specific setups for fixed installations and mobile performances.
With the M3 MAX, amplification and DSP are provided by external SE AUDIOTECHNIK rack amplifiers and dedicated DSP settings. Keeping these components separate from the loudspeaker modules gives system designers a clear way to plan the system’s amplification and processing as part of the wider setup.
The modules can be flown or ground-stacked, offering options for different venue layouts and installation conditions. This makes the M3 MAX suited to projects ranging from multi-function halls and sports venues to medium and large-sized theatres, cultural tourism settings and medium to large-sized mobile performances.
