Datasheet — MJF-210
Low-Profile High-Power Stage Monitor
The MJF‑210 low‑profile high‑power stage monitor reproduces audio faithfully with high intelligibility at high output levels with ample low‑frequency headroom. The self‑powered MJF‑210 exceeds the stringent requirements of today’s touring applications, withstanding the rigors of road and stage while occupying a small, lightweight footprint and a fraction of the truck space of similar monitors requiring external amplification.
The MJF‑210’s phase‑corrected 55 Hz to 18 kHz frequency range ensures that vocals and instruments are reproduced accurately with low distortion and no signal coloration. Exhibiting flat phase and frequency responses, as well as exceptional impulse response, the MJF‑210 surpasses the sonic capabilities of conventional stage monitors while offering the simplicity of self‑powered setup and operation.
The MJF‑210’s durable, vented enclosure houses two high‑power, long‑excursion, 10‑inch low‑frequency drivers, as well as a 4‑inch diaphragm compression driver coupled to a 50° horizontal by 70° vertical constant directivity horn. The face of the low‑profile cabinet slopes 35° from the stage, ensuring optimal monitoring for the performer, permitting freedom to move upstage and downstage while remaining within the horn’s consistent, wide vertical coverage.
Drivers are powered by a three‑channel, class D amplifier. The Intelligent AC™ power supply provides automatic voltage selection, EMI filtering, soft current turn‑on, and surge suppression.
The optional RMS™ remote monitoring system module provides comprehensive monitoring of loudspeaker parameters from a Mac® or Windows®‑based computer. Optional XLR 5‑pin connectors support use of composite cables to carry both RMS and balanced audio.
Constructed of premium birch plywood, the MJF‑210’s cabinet is coated with a slightly textured black finish and includes protective rubber strips on the bottom of the unit that prevent changes in position due to vibrations. A hex‑stamped steel grille lined with acoustical black mesh protects the drivers.

Notes
Loudspeaker system predictions for coverage and SPL are available in Meyer Sound’s MAPP System Design Tool.
Recommended maximum operating frequency range. Response depends on loading conditions and room acoustics.
Measured 1 m on axis with typical boundary loading.
Linear Peak SPL is measured 1 m on axis with typical boundary loading. Loudspeaker SPL compression measured with M‑noise at the onset of limiting, 2‑hour duration, and 50 °C ambient temperature is < 2 dB.
M-noise is a full bandwidth (10 Hz–22.5 kHz) test signal developed by Meyer Sound to better measure the loudspeaker’s music performance. It has a constant instantaneous peak level in octave bands, a crest factor that increases with frequency, and a full bandwidth Peak to RMS ratio of 18 dB. The presence of a greater‑than (>) symbol with regard to crest factor indicates it may be higher depending on EQ and boundary loading.
Pink noise is a full bandwidth test signal with Peak to RMS ratio of 12.5 dB.
B-noise is a Meyer Sound test signal used to ensure measurements reflect system behavior when reproducing the most common input spectrum, and to verify there is still headroom over pink noise.
Pins 4 and 5 (RMS) only included with XLR 5‑pin connector that accommodates both balanced audio and RMS signals.
Peak power based on the maximum unclipped peak voltage the amplifier will produce into the nominal load impedance.
AC power cabling must be of sufficient gauge so that under burst current rms conditions, cable transmission losses do not cause the loudspeaker’s voltage to drop below the specified operating range.
