Technology Designed for Horizontal Control
The technology of the JM-1P provides a
versatility few other loudspeakers can match. The
new horn design in the JM-1P, combined with
Meyer Sound's patented REM ribbon emulation
manifold, yields extremely tight pattern control.
This means that tight-packed JM-1P arrays
exhibit very little interaction between horns,
and single cabinets or pairs of cabinets can be
deployed to deliver coverage only to desired
areas, with minimal reflections off of walls and
other surfaces, or interactions with other parts
of the sound system. Meyer Sound's emphasis on
low distortion enables the JM-1P to maintain its
clarity and pattern control even at high levels.
These characteristics, along with the ease of
creating a groundstacked horizontal array,
make the JM-1P an excellent tool for corporate
AV applications. The ability to form small
arrays of two or three cabinets with strict
control of dispersion makes the JM-1P perfect
for distributed systems in sports venues. The
exceptional size-to-power ratio and the
simplicity of self-powered systems make the
JM-1P an ideal candidate for AV companies
wishing to have a sound system that is simple
to set up and use, yet impressively clean and
powerful.
Components
The JM-1P is a two-way system employing
components designed and manufactured by
Meyer Sound at its Berkeley, Calif., headquarters.
Meyer Sound's rigorous quality assurance
guarantees the performance and consistency of
each loudspeaker.
The JM-1P's wide, 53 Hz to 18 kHz operating
frequency range and prodigious output of
138 dB max peak SPL (measured at one meter) is
produced by one 15-inch, long-excursion, lowfrequency
cone driver, and a four-inch highfrequency
compression driver coupled through a
patented REM manifold to an extremely accurate
constant-Q horn. This horn, which distinguishes
the JM-1P, exhibits sharply controlled 20-degree
horizontal by 60-degree vertical coverage. The
unit's consistent polar response and trapezoidal
enclosure allows for tightly packed arrays with
each loudspeaker adding 20 degrees to the
horizontal coverage of the array (with minimal
overlap in high frequencies).
As a Meyer Sound self-powered system, the
JM-1P houses integrated electronics for
crossover, driver protection, and frequency and
phase response correction, in addition to its
proprietary 1275 W (2550 W peak) class AB/H
amplifier. Meyer Sound's RMS remote monitoring
system keeps you informed of the status of all
important system parameters.
