The ME Geithain RL901K is a legendary, high-end 3-way active studio monitor manufactured in Germany by Musikelectronic Geithain. It is widely celebrated in both professional recording studios and high-end audiophile circles for its extraordinary spatial imaging and unique low-frequency control. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Key Technical Innovations

• Cardioid Bass Response: The "K" in the model name stands for Kardioid (cardioid). Unlike traditional speakers that throw bass omnidirectionally, the RL901K features rear acoustic vents that cancel out low-frequency sound energy escaping behind the cabinet. This drastically minimizes destructive wall reflections, allowing you to place these massive monitors close to walls without muddying the low end.[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Coaxial Driver Alignment: The 5-inch midrange cone and 1-inch dome tweeter are physically mounted directly in front of the massive 16-inch woofer on a shared central axis. This creates a "single point source" configuration, which is the secret behind its legendary time-alignment, pinpoint stereo imaging, and massive soundstage. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Tri-Amplified System: The cabinet houses three dedicated internal amplifiers delivering 180W to the bass driver, 100W to the midrange, and 100W to the tweeter. [1]

Performance Profile

• Frequency Range: 25 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB), delivering true, authoritative full-range sound without needing an external subwoofer.
• Listening Distance: Optimized as a mid-field to main monitor, with an ideal listening sweet spot between 2 and 4 metres.
• Form Factor: It is a massive, uncompromising cube measuring roughly 55 x 50 x 43 cm and weighing 48 kg per speaker.
