The loudspeaker shall be a self powered, high Q, vocal range system. The transducers shall consist of twenty-eight 4-inch diameter cone drivers and a 4-inch diaphragm compression driver on a 20° x 20° symmetrical horn.
The loudspeaker system shall incorporate internal processing electronics and a two-channel amplifier. Processing functions shall include equalization, phase correction and signal division for the high and low frequency sections. The crossover point shall be 1.5 kHz. Each amplifier channel shall be class AB/bridged with complementary MOSFET output stages. Burst capability shall be 620 watts each (1240 watts total) with nominal 8 ohm resistive load. Distortion (THD, IM, TIM) shall not exceed 0.02%. Protection circuits shall include TruPower Limiting.
Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall be as follows, measured at 1/3 octave resolution in fixed ISO bands: Operating frequency range shall be 150 Hz to 18kHz (6dB points). Phase response shall be ±35° from 400 Hz to 11 kHz. Maximum SPL shall be 143 dB at 1 meter. Beamwidth shall be 20° ±5° from 1000 Hz to 16 kHz.
The audio input shall be electronically balanced with a 10k ohm impedance and accept a +4dBu (1.23Vrms) signal. Connector shall be XLR (A-3) type. RF filtering shall be provided, and CMRR shall be greater than 80 dB from 50 Hz 1 kHz.
The internal power supply shall perform automatic voltage selection, EMI filtering, soft current turn-on and surge suppression. Powering requirements shall be nominal 100V, 110V or 230V AC line current at 50 Hz or 60 Hz frequency. Operating ranges shall be 95V to 125V (100V or 120V nominal), and 208V to 235V (230V nominal). Maximum peak current draw during burst shall be 22A at 115V, 11A at 230V and 25A at 100V. Current inrush during soft turn-on shall not exceed 12A at 115V. AC power connector shall be a locking connector.
The loudspeaker system shall provide facilities for installing Meyer Sounds optional RMS remote monitoring and control system.
All loudspeaker components shall be mounted in a parabolic dish enclosure constructed of fiberglass and multi-ply hardwood birch with a hard, waterproof and damage resistant black textured finish. The front protective grille shall be perforated steel. Dimensions shall be 46.47 wide x 43.75 high x 31.22 deep (1180 mm x 1111mm x 793 mm). Weight shall be 220 lbs (99.80 kg).
The loudspeaker shall be the Meyer Sound Model SB-2. |
