Meyer Subwoofers Prove Light Years Ahead of Competition for NASA

When it comes to raw SPL, less is more with Meyer. It doesn't matter whether it's a NASA launch or a rock-and-roll tour. You can get amazing power with half as many cabinets, without worrying about overloading the system."

Where do you find subwoofers powerful enough to simulate the growing, sonic roar of a shuttle launch? At Meyer Sound, of course. Boeing Corporation held a "shoot-out" style comparison between subwoofers from Meyer and other leading speaker manufacturers. The intent was to find a subwoofer durable and loud enough to use in NASA simulations. After putting each brand through the same rigorous testing, Boeing engineers realized that there was only one speaker left standing without a blown driver...Meyer's. "When it comes to raw SPL, less is more with Meyer," said Rick Coleman, SouthEastern Sales Manager for Meyer Sound. "It doesn't matter whether it's a NASA launch or a rock-and-roll tour. You can get amazing power with half as many cabinets, without worrying about overloading the system." Boeing engineers stipulated that the product weigh no more than 100 pounds, a size small enough to fit into the space shuttle without affecting overall weight. It also had to withstand a consistent SPL of 130 dB. No other product that met this size criteria had the ability to sustain the severe testing. At the outcome, four Meyer Sound subwoofers were purchased by Boeing.
