Notes
Loudspeaker system predictions for coverage and SPL are available in Meyer Sound’s MAPP System Design Tool.
Maximum Sound Level is the Lpeak measured using burst noise.
The PANTHER 2-way loudspeaker has a unique placement of low-mid transducers, and a computationally optimized high horn creating a directional loudspeaker with a controlled pattern for the full frequency range. Arrays of four units and longer functionally create a cardioid polar pattern, which remains consistent at all SPL levels, including when pushed into limiting, and does not require any user settings.
Both analog and digital audio inputs are provided as standard.
