Selects between single tweeter operation or disabling the tweeter for extended mid-range output.
Manages signal phase between Mid/High and Woofer sections for bass contour control.
Arms or disarms the Bright/Dark SW2 switch, controlling Mid/High sensitivity.
Adjusts Mid/High sensitivity and crossover, affecting tone and creating sonic pockets.
Cabinet in neutral voicing with even response curve (+/- 7db from 35Hz to 16KHz).
Shipped in default settings; adjust signal chain before loudspeaker for desired tone.
The MAS-110 Flex is an advanced loudspeaker system designed with a focus on versatility and customizable sound. It features a unique control panel with four switches, allowing users to tailor the sound output to their preferences and various acoustic environments.
The MAS-110 Flex is a loudspeaker system that provides a highly customizable audio experience through its integrated control switches. It allows for adjustments to tweeter presence, signal phase between mid/high and woofer sections, and mid/high output sensitivity. This flexibility enables users to achieve a wide range of tonal characteristics, from a neutral, even response to more aggressive or thinned bass contours.
In its default settings, the loudspeaker's response is +/- 7dB from 35Hz to 16KHz, indicating a broad frequency range suitable for various musical applications. The tweeter control allows for either a single tweeter setting (default) or no tweeters, with the mid-range drivers extending high-frequency output beyond 8KHz when the tweeter is off. The voicing control manages the signal phase between the mid/high and woofer sections, affecting the upper bass/lower midrange region. The Bright/Dark SW2 switch, when armed, controls the mid/high output sensitivity, with the "Dark" setting reducing sensitivity and the "Bright" setting increasing it, while also inducing a shift in crossover frequency.
The MAS-110 Flex is designed for ease of use and extensive customization. It ships with all switches in their Default or Neutral setting, providing a good starting point for users to explore desired tones.
Tweeter Control Switch: This switch allows users to select between having a single tweeter operational (default, marked with an asterisk) or no tweeters. When the tweeter is off, the mid-range drivers extend their high-frequency output beyond 8KHz, providing an extended mid-range presence with a high-frequency roll-off. This feature is useful for tailoring the high-end response to different preferences or environments.
Voicing Control Switch: This switch manages the signal phase between the mid/high section and the woofer section. It directly influences the interaction of these two sections in the upper bass/lower midrange region, making it effective for controlling the bass contour. In the default setting (marked with an asterisk), this bass region is full and even. In the non-default setting, this region is thinned, which can be beneficial for achieving greater bass control in boomy environments or for creating a cleaner sound, especially when in "Dark" mode.
Arming Switch SW1: This switch acts as a master control for the Bright/Dark SW2 switch. In its default "Neutral" or "Off" setting (marked with an asterisk), the Bright/Dark SW2 switch is inactive. To enable the Bright/Dark SW2 switch, SW1 must be lifted to the "Arm SW2" position. This two-step process prevents accidental changes to the mid/high sensitivity.
Bright/Dark SW2 Switch: Once Arming Switch SW1 is in the "Arm SW2" position, this switch controls the mid/high output sensitivity relative to the woofer section. The default setting (marked with an asterisk) is "Dark," which reduces the sensitivity of the mid/high section. Lifting the switch to the "Bright" setting increases mid/high sensitivity and induces a shift in the crossover frequency. The "Bright" setting creates a more aggressive tone and a "pocket" in the sound presentation, which can be utilized with an optional MAS-110s subwoofer unit.
Default Settings: Placing all switches in their default positions (all marked with an asterisk) results in a "Neutral" voicing with an even response curve. This configuration provides a balanced sound, making it an ideal starting point for users to adjust their instrument signal chain before further customizing the loudspeaker's sound.
