The MVP38 is a high output, super-compact, two-way stage monitor
system. The system utilizes one LM20™ proprietary high-frequency
compression driver coupled to an exponential horn and one 15" woofer
for high sensitivity and excellent power handling capability. These
components are matched to an extremely low-profile enclosure of an
optimally tuned, direct radiating, bass reflex design. The recessed han-
dles, black carpet exterior, perforated steel grille, and injection molded
corners make this system attractive, rugged and easily transportable.
The MVP38 offers a robust internal crossover with Thermal Link™
Dynamic HF Driver Protection. The crossover is built to last with high
quality inductors, precision wound coils and military grade circuit
boards.The proprietary Thermal Link Dynamic HF Driver Protection
circuit provides both over-current and thermal protection for added per-
formance and reliability. Designed as a high performance stage moni-
tor, the MVP38 offers the clarity and detail necessary forcritical live
performance use. In addition, its smooth, peak-free response provides
maximum gain before feedback ensuring capability for high on-stage
sound pressure levels. The compact, low-profile design makes the
MVP38 ideal for TV broadcast, house of worship and other applica-
tions where stage equipment must be as unobtrusive as possible, yet
provide fully professional performance.
