Meyer Sound 600-HP Subwoofer, Minimal Distortion
Closely following the release of the MICA compact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker, Meyer Sound has announced the 600-HP compact high-power subwoofer. Bringing the extraordinary power of the acclaimed 700-HP ultrahigh-power subwoofer to a package ideal for rigging with MICA, the self-powered 600-HP excels in flown applications using its optional QuickFly rigging and those situations where the extra low-frequency extension of the 700-HP is not required, or where space is a consideration.
In addition to being the ideal partner in a flown MICA array, the 600-HP’s operating frequency range of 33 Hz to 150 Hz provides an appropriate complement to other Meyer Sound self-powered products such as the UPA-1P compact wide coverage or UPJ-1P compact VariO loudspeakers.
The 600-HP's power and bandwidth handle high continuous operating levels and extreme transient information with minimal distortion in its operating frequency range.
Meyer Sound’s rigorous design approach has been applied to extract the greatest efficiency from every part of the system, resulting in the 600-HP’s effortless reproduction of low frequency transient information. As a self-powered system, the transducers, amplification and control electronics of the 600-HP are created as a symbiotic system that optimizes performance and maximizes its tremendous power.
The 600-HP's efficiently tuned cabinet houses two newly-designed , back-vented, long-excursion, 15-inch cone drivers, manufactured by Meyer Sound. The drivers have been engineered for extreme efficiency at low frequencies in order to provide optimal performance in subwoofer applications. Each driver features a 4-inch voice coil and is rated to handle 1,200 AES watts.
An integral two-channel class AB/H amplifier with complementary MOSFET output stages supplies total power of 2,250 watts (4,000 watts peak). The amplifier, control electronics and power supply are integrated into a single, field-replaceable module mounted in the rear of the cabinet. The cabinet is constructed of multi-ply hardwood and coated with a textured black finish. Integral metal grilles lined with acoustical black mesh protect the cone drivers.
For maximum convenience in touring situations, the 600-HP, when fitted with the optional rigging frame, can even travel in stacks on the MCF-MICA caster frame. The 600-HP is truck-smart, with exterior cabinet dimensions suitable for both European and US truck widths (41.40" w x 22.50" h x 22" d (1052 mm x 572 mm x 559 mm). An optional QuickFly rigging kit is available, installed at the factory or as a field upgrade.
Options available for the 600-HP include weather protection and finishes in custom colors for fixed installations and other situations requiring specific cosmetics.
An optional RMS remote monitoring system module allows comprehensive monitoring of all key system parameters on any RMS-equipped host PC. In addition, Meyer Sound’s MAPP Online multipurpose acoustical prediction program allows quick prediction of coverage, frequency response, impulse response and maximum output of the 600-HP and other Meyer Sound loudspeakers and loudspeaker systems.
All specifications are preliminary and subject to change.
