Musikelectronic Geithain (ME Geithain) is a German loudspeaker manufacturer based in the Saxon town of Geithain. The company traces its roots to 1960, when Joachim Kiesler and two watchmakers founded a trade production cooperative that was nationalized in 1972 as the GDR-owned VEB Musikelectronic Geithain. After German reunification, Kiesler and former colleagues reprivatized the operation in 1992 as musikelectronic geithain gmbh, which he continues to lead.

The company is best known for its active studio monitors, particularly the RL series (including the RL901, RL904, RL906, RL940, and RL944K), which earned a foothold in European broadcast facilities — the RL900 was deployed across East German radio and television before reunification and later versions became fixtures in ARD network facilities and mastering rooms. ME Geithain also produces a high-end consumer loudspeaker line under the ME Geithain HighEnd banner, along with sound-reinforcement products such as ceiling, inline, and coaxial speakers with matching subwoofers.

Their designs center on coaxial driver arrangements (marketed as MCDS-Coax) combined with a cardioid bass dispersion pattern — often referred to as K-Technology — intended to reduce rear-wall reflections and deliver a consistent, uncolored sound field. The brand has a reputation among mixing, mastering, and broadcast engineers for neutrality and directional accuracy, and remains manufactured in Geithain.

ME Geithain has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Active & Passive Monitors. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic and Pop. Notable users include Ryuichi Sakamoto, Alva Noto, and Towa Tei.
