9. MEME™ (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation)
With the MM27 GEN2, you can box up your secondary reference monitors for good. Despite the advantages of
high-resolution monitors, many engineers still rely on their NS10s and mix cubes as secondary references. These
speakers have long traditions and people find them familiar and useful for focusing in on certain aspects of their
mix. However, it's also a fact that crowding your console with those extra boxes degrades the sound field of the
primary reference monitors. Not to mention, they are no longer manufactured, need amplifiers, require cable
runs, and consume more studio space. To offer an elegant solution, while streamlining the studio at the same
time, the MM27 GEN2 has the ability to sound and translate like those classic speakers.
Voices:
Flat
Optimal setting for accuracy, transparency and outstanding translation. Setting has a flat
frequency response and extremely fast transient response. This is the default voice when
the Voice Selector Switch is not connected.
-
Hi-Fi
While it does not emulate any one speaker in particular, this setting is indicative of “hi-fi” in
the colloquial sense of the term. The midrange is a bit scooped and highs are little accentu-
ated. The bass response is altered to have less damping yielding a hybrid character some-
where between the fast, tight, articulate sound of a sealed cabinet and the slower, fatter
sound of a ported speaker. A touch of tube amplifier warmth has also been added. The
result is a sweeter more forgiving sonic character.

OldScl
This setting emulates the frequency, phase and transient response, along with the dynamic
compression and distortion signature of the NS10M.
-
Cube
This setting emulates the frequency, phase and transient response, along with the dynamic
compression and distortion signature of classic mix cubes.
