Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be a self-powered, full-range system. The transducers shall consist of two 5-inch cone drivers and one 2-inch diaphragm compression driver connected to horns with different coverage depending on the model. The wide coverage model shall have a 110° x 50° rotatable horn. The narrow coverage model shall have a 80° x 50° rotatable horn. The broad coverage shall have a 110° x 110° horn.
The loudspeaker system shall incorporate internal processing electronics and a three-channel, class-D amplifier. Processing functions shall include equalization, phase correction, signal division and protection for the high and low-frequency sections. Peak output power shall be 860 W total with 8 Ω nominal impedance for the high-frequency channel and 6 Ω nominal impedance for the low-frequency channels. Distortion (THD, IM, TIM) shall not exceed 0.02%.
Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall be as follows: operating frequency range shall be 60 Hz – 18 kHz; phase response shall be 95 Hz – 18 kHz ±45°. Linear peak SPL for the wide coverage version shall be 127 dB with 20 dB crest factor, measured with M-noise, free-field at 4 m referred to 1 m, and its coverage pattern (–6 dB points) shall be 110° by 50°, horizontal or vertical dependent on horn orientation. Linear peak SPL for the narrow coverage version shall be 128.5 dB with 20 dB crest factor, measured with M-noise, free-field at 4 m referred to 1 m, and its coverage pattern (–6 dB points) shall be 80° by 50°, horizontal or vertical dependent on horn orientation. Linear peak SPL for the broad coverage version shall be 127.5 dB with 20 dB crest factor, measured with M-noise, free-field at 4 m referred to 1 m, and its coverage pattern (–6 dB points) shall be 110° by 110°.
For the analog version, the audio input shall be electronically balanced with a 10 kΩ impedance and shall accept a nominal 0 dBV (1 V rms) signal. The connector shall be a XLR 3-pin female with male loop. On weather-protected units, the connectors shall be 3-pin XLR TOP connectors. For the digital version, the audio format shall be Milan Certified, and the connector shall be etherCON TOP.
The internal power supply shall perform automatic voltage selection, EMI filtering, soft current turn-on and surge suppression. Powering requirements shall be nominal 100, 115 or 230 V AC line current at 50 or 60 Hz. UL and CE operating voltage range shall be 100–240 V AC. Maximum peak current draw during burst shall be 1.6 A rms (115 V AC); 0.8 A rms (230 V AC); 1.8 A rms (100 V AC). Current inrush during soft turn-on shall not exceed 20 A at 115 V AC. The AC power connector shall be powerCON. For digital and weather-protected units, the AC power connector shall be powerCON TRUE1 TOP with loop output.
The loudspeaker shall provide capability to install Meyer Sound’s optional RMS remote monitoring system on the analog version. Remote monitoring shall be integrated in the digital version.
All loudspeaker components shall be mounted in an acoustically vented trapezoidal enclosure constructed of aluminum with a slightly textured black finish with two integrated M8 threaded points on each end and four M6 threaded holes with 5-inch by 2.75-inch (127 mm by 70 mm) hole pattern on the rear. The front protective grille shall be powder-coated, round-perforated steel. Dimensions shall be W: 7.44 in (189 mm) x H: 19.04 in (484 mm) x D: 8.66 in (220 mm).
Weight shall be 27 lb (12.3 kg).
The PATHER loudspeaker is a linear line array loudspeakser designed for high-power applications deployed alongside Meyer Sound LFC products, extending the low-frequency performance. PANTHER offers three models: PANTHER-L, PANTHER-M and PANTHER-W, each with different horizontal dispersion
