Notes
meyer-blue-rule-line.png
  1. Loudspeaker system predictions for coverage and SPL are available in Meyer Sound’s MAPP System Design Tool.

  2. Recommended maximum operating frequency range. Response depends on loading conditions and room acoustics.

  3. Free field, measured with 1/3 octave frequency resolution at 4 m.

  4. Linear Peak SPL is measured in free field at 4 m referred to 1 m. Loudspeaker SPL compression measured with M‑noise at the onset of limiting, 2‑hour duration, and 50‑degree C ambient temperature is < 2 dB.

    M-noise is a full bandwidth (10 Hz–22.5 kHz) test signal developed by Meyer Sound to better measure the loudspeaker’s music performance. It has a constant instantaneous peak level in octave bands, a crest factor that increases with frequency, and a full bandwidth Peak to RMS ratio of 18 dB. The presence of a greater‑than (>) symbol with regard to crest factor indicates it may be higher depending on EQ and boundary loading.

    Pink noise is a full bandwidth test signal with Peak to RMS ratio of 12.5 dB.

    B-noise is a Meyer Sound test signal used to ensure measurements reflect system behavior when reproducing the most common input spectrum, and to verify there is still headroom over pink noise.

  5. Amplifier wattage rating based on the maximum unclipped burst sine‑wave rms voltage the amplifier will produce for at least 0.5 seconds into the nominal load impedance: 30 V rms (42 V peak).

  6. Meyer Sound power supply required; for information about and specifications for Meyer Sound IntelligentDC external power supplies, refer to their datasheets.

  7. Tolerates voltage drops (due to long cable runs ) of up to 30 percent.
