Self-Powered Loudspeakers
Milan series self-powered loudspeakers are equipped with an integrated Class D amplifier module,
taking consistent performance, convenience and ease of use to a new level. Featuring lightweight
high-power amplifiers using 48kHz DSP and operating at better than 90% efficiency, Milan
eliminates the need for separate amplifier racks and controllers, as well as the attendant cabling.
This makes setting up at gigs and obtaining a consistent sound in different venues a faster and
simpler process.
The amplifier is exactly matched to the known parameters of the loudspeaker components, and is
therefore able to produce the optimum power for the drivers. By placing the amplifier in the
cabinet it is possible to keep the loudspeaker cables extremely short to eliminate resistive losses,
so effectively all the power from the amplifier is transferred to the drivers.
The availability of on-board electronics provides an opportunity to build in a two-channel mixer
offering both mic and line inputs with two band EQ and sophisticated DSP-based limiting. These
fast-acting, frequency-dependent limiters allow you to achieve higher average sound pressure
level, reduce the possibility of driver damage, and help to ensure better long-term system
reliability.
A professional quality crossover network filters the low and high frequencies appropriately to each
driver, to ensure that each is working in its optimum frequency band. The high-grade circuit
components ensure that every loudspeaker performs consistently.
Due to the extremely high efficiency and modern, high performance power supply, the Milan
amplifier module only adds less than 2 kilos to the overall net weight of the loudspeaker, and this
is an important factor in portable applications where the loudspeaker is to be transported and set
up frequently in a variety of venues.

Bass Mode
The BASS MODE switch introduces a 100Hz filter in the bass part of the frequency response. In the
‘B’ position it allows better integration of sub-bass loudspeakers with Milan MI5 loudspeakers by
preventing an overlap in the bass frequencies. The subjective result is extended bass response.
If you are using Milan without subwoofers we recommend that you select the ‘A’ position, which
will ensure the frequency response is unaffected.
Using Milan with Subwoofers
Improved bass response and higher overall sound pressure level can be achieved by adding sub-
bass loudspeakers to the Milan system. This also reduces mechanical stress on the Milan
loudspeaker’s low frequency driver, since most of the low frequency content in the signal is routed
to the subwoofer.
It is recommended that you connect the full range signal from the mixer
first to the subwoofer(s), and from there to the Milan MI5. Make sure the
BASS MODE switch is correctly selected to the ‘B’ position.
When using non-powered subwoofers, take a separate output from the
mixer and run it to the sub-frequency amplifier(s). Connect directly from the
mixer outputs to the Milan loudspeaker as in the example without
subwoofers, but select the ‘B’ position on the BASS MODE switch to allow
the majority of low frequencies to be handled by the subwoofers.
Using Milan as a Floor Monitor
You can select the ‘B’ position on the BASS MODE switch when using Milan
as a floor monitor, which will avoid any low frequency boominess due to
the proximity of the floor that can detract from clear and intelligible monitor
sound.
If you are using Milan as part of a larger multi-channel monitor system and
where drums may be part of the monitor mix, BASS MODE ‘A’ can be
selected provided that kick drum EQ is used sparingly and carefully.

Model Information
Milan MI5 Self-Powered Loudspeaker
The Milan MI5 is a self-powered sound reinforcement
loudspeaker designed for many different portable and
permanently installed applications.
It consists of a 450 watt program 15” neodymium low
frequency driver, matched with a 1” neodymium high
frequency compression driver on a 90° horizontal x 60°
vertical horn, together with a Class D amplifier module
providing two input channels and on-board DSP.
The low frequency driver is a custom-designed 15” unit
using a 2.5” voice coil driven by a neodymium ring
magnet. The custom-developed 1” exit HF compression
driver feeds a wide dispersion Converging Elliptical
Waveguide for smooth and even coverage over a wide
audience area.
These high quality professional components are
housed in a lightweight, stylish and durable trapezoidal
moulded polypropylene cabinet that is instantly
adaptable to front-of-house or floor monitoring
applications. The cabinet is extensively ribbed and
internally damped. This design feature increases the
cabinet’s rigidity and eliminates internal reflections, which translates into better transient
response and improved bass reproduction. It also keeps the weight of the cabinet as low as
possible.
Milan is equipped with a dual angle pole mount socket which allows it to be angled down for
better coverage when used with tripod stands or for mounting on top of bass cabinets. Lifting and
carrying is made easy with the provision of built-in handles on the sides, as well as a scoop handle
on the top of the cabinet.
The Milan cabinet provides M10 rigging points on the top and bottom for suspending horizontally
or vertically in permanent installs.

Connector wiring
The amplifier inputs are designed to accept balanced (three conductor) connections, and it is
recommended that this method be used since it offers the best rejection of noise, hum and radio
interference, especially where long cable runs are involved. XLR connectors should be wired pin 2
hot, while the standard wiring for 3-pole jack plug connectors is tip hot (+ve) and ring cold (-ve) as
shown below.

Some signal sources such as keyboards, acoustic guitars with on-board electronics, and some
microphones commonly provide only an unbalanced output on a 2-pole jack connector. The Milan
loudspeaker can handle these connections without any rewiring since pin 3 (-ve) of the input is
automatically grounded by the jack plug.

8. Bass Mode switch
This slide switch introduces a fourth order high-pass filter in the lower part of the frequency
response at 100Hz, and is useful to avoid boominess due to proximity to the floor when the Milan
loudspeaker is used as a floor monitor. The bass mode high-pass should also be selected when
the Milan MI5 is used with sub-bass loudspeakers. This allows bass frequencies to be routed
appropriately to the sub-bass speakers, avoiding an overlap between these and the Milan MI5, and
giving greater clarity and definition to the overall sound.
9. Mix Out
A balanced line level output on a balanced male XLR that connects to additional powered Milan
loudspeakers. This output contains a mix of all connected sources and is post-EQ, although it is
independent of the bass mode switch. Note that adjusting the equalisation will similarly affect any
additional Milan loudspeakers connected from this output.
10. Power Indicator
Illuminates blue to indicate that mains power is connected and powered up.
11. Signal Indicator
Illuminates green when the signal level reaches -6dB, and is a useful indicator of the input signal
approaching the limiter threshold.
12. Limit indicator
Illuminates red when the signal level approaches maximum and the limiters start working.
Frequent and/or continuous lighting of limit LED indicates overdriving. If this occurs reduce the
input level to the loudspeaker or enlarge your system with additional loudspeakers.

Connection Diagrams
Small band setup using the integrated mixer and Mix Out
The built in two channel mixer allows the simultaneous use of either two low impedance dynamic
microphones, a microphone and line level source, or two line level sources. The line level source
could be an acoustic instrument such as a guitar with either passive or active on-board electrics, a
keyboard, or MP3 player. Connect a dynamic mic directly to either of the combo jack/XLR input
connectors, switch the MIC/LINE switch to MIC and adjust the volume level. Connect line sources
to either of the combo jack/XLR connectors, switch the MIC/LINE switch to LINE and adjust the
volume control. More mics and sources can be connected by using the MIX OUT function to daisy-
chain to additional Milan loudspeakers.

Stereo PA with an external mixer and subwoofer(s)
In this example, sub frequencies are routed to a separate subwoofer(s) in order to gain extended
frequency response and higher overall sound level. Connect the mixer output first to the
subwoofers and then loop up to the Milan loudspeakers. Set the MIC/LINE switch to LINE and set
the BASS MODE switch to the ‘B’ position to roll off the low frequencies to the Milan MI5
loudspeakers. The tone controls on both cabinets should be set to the same positions, nominally
flat to begin with. Ensure that the mixer outputs are not clipping, and then adjust both
loudspeakers’ level controls to the desired loudness.

Loudspeaker Placement
In order to avoid the possibility of feedback locate the loudspeakers in front of your microphones
and do not point microphones directly at the front of a loudspeaker.
When using speaker stands, try to raise the loudspeakers as high as
practically possible (at least higher than the heads of the audience) since
people are very good absorbers of sound,
especially at high frequencies. You also
have the option to point them down using
the alternate angle provided for by the built-
in dual angle pole holder. Doing this will
improve the coverage for both near and far
audience members.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: make sure that any
speaker stands you use are capable of
taking the weight of the loudspeaker, and
that stands are placed on a flat, level and
stable surface. Make sure that the legs do
not present a trip hazard. Take care when
lifting the speakers on to the stand; ask
someone else to help you if needed.
The same applies to using Milan
loudspeakers mounted on straight poles on
top of bass cabinets or subwoofers.
Adjustable height poles or stands allow you
to fine tune the height of the loudspeakers
to suit your venue.
Do not place your loudspeakers too close to
turntables as this may induce rumble or low
frequency feedback from the tone arms.
Isolate turntables on shock mounts.
Use equalisation sparingly. Start with the bass and treble controls at their neutral position (no
boost or cut). Cut a little bass to tame any boomy frequencies in the room, and add a little treble to
help vocal intelligibility.
Consider adding subwoofers and/or further loudspeakers if the overall sound level or low
frequency response is not enough for the room.

Installing the Milan loudspeaker
Using the M10 rigging points
The Milan loudspeaker can be permanently installed in a venue,
suspended from eyebolts fitted to the internal M10 rigging points
on the top and bottom of the cabinet. Three possible orientations
are available: vertically upright, or upside down to position the high
frequency driver closer to the audience, or sideways if required.
Insert M10 load-rated shoulder eyebolts
into the threaded rigging points and
tighten. The front rigging points should
take the majority of the load while the rear
rigging point should be used for angling
the cabinet downwards only.
When installing the
cabinet sideways,
pick up from either of
the two front eyebolt
pairs, and bridle the two rear eyebolt points to
provide a single pull-back for adjusting the
downward angle.
Wall Mounting
The Milan loudspeaker can be conveniently wall mounted using the PB-55 pole mount wall
bracket, which simply locates into the pole mount socket in the bottom of the cabinet.
Mount the bracket to the wall using suitable fixings, and locate the loudspeaker onto the pole
mount bracket. Rotate and angle the loudspeaker to optimise coverage and tighten the locking
mechanism to stop the loudspeaker from being inadvertently removed.
