The Amie precision studio monitor is a compact, high-performance loudspeaker designed for critical audio workflows in music or cinema—where accurate translation to larger systems is a requirement. Developed to meet the demanding needs of audio professionals, Amie provides unparalleled precision, image and depth.

Amie traces its lineage to Meyer Sound’s Acheron® screen channel loudspeakers, sharing core technology that makes it ideal for any precision work in music, film, broadcast, or game post-production.

Amie is equally suited for both stereo and multi-channel monitoring in small- to medium-sized rooms. In any application, the addition of an Amie-Sub extends the system frequency response down to 22 Hz. The Amie Sub was specifically designed to be the companion for Amie loudspeakers—facilitating the creation of a complete system with easy integration for any configuration using optional 7.1 and 2.1 integration modules installed in the Amie-Sub. A complete system is the perfect solution for music as well as for film work where the destination is a larger production room.

With its flat frequency response, Amie accurately reproduces source material at different listening levels and with its remarkable power-to-size ratio, the Amie monitor can make a room sound like a mixing stage. In addition, the phase linearity achieved in the Amie monitor creates an incredibly well-behaved impulse response, yielding superior imaging compared to any other monitor in its size category.

Sophisticated onboard signal processing and crossover circuitry optimize phase response, ensuring transparency and precise spatial imaging. When monitoring with Amie, engineers, editors and sound designers can trust that their work will successfully translate to the next stop, which could be the mix stage or the outside world.

Engineered for sonic linearity in both amplitude and time, Amie exhibits uniform response over its full dynamic range. Advanced driver protection circuitry allows for graceful handling of peak material with very low distortion and accurate phase response, yielding a comfortable listening experience and allowing engineers to work in extended sessions with minimal fatigue.

Amie’s high-frequency transducer is a silk-infused dome tweeter fed to a constant-directivity waveguide that yields uniform, focused coverage with smooth roll-off outside the coverage area. Its low-frequency transducer is a long-excursion cone driver designed for linear behavior. An optimized, low-turbulence cabinet port enhances power handling and extends low-end response.

Powered by a proprietary, high-efficiency, 2-channel, class D amplifier and possessing sophisticated DSP, Amie

boasts ample headroom, low distortion, and low self-noise, delivering consistent performance even at high sound pressure levels, and allowing it to reproduce the most demanding sources with uncompromising precision. The self-powered design simplifies room installations and removes variables such as amplifier and speaker cable length, so the results are always consistent wherever the Amie is used.

Loop-through power connectors streamline setup of multichannel systems and necessitate fewer AC room outlets.

Meyer Sound manufactures Amie’s enclosure from premium multiply birch, and coats it with an attractive, low gloss, textured black finish.

The side attachment points are 3/8-inch - 16 threaded that accommodate an optional U-bracket, which can mount on walls and ceilings, or attach to a pole using a pole-mount adapter. In addition, the optional Desk mount allows Amie to be placed on a desk with the ability to tilt.

The Amie loudspeaker combines advanced loudspeaker technology with equally advanced power capabilities.

Understanding power distribution, voltage and current requirements, and electrical safety guidelines is critical for the safe operation of the Amie.
