The Meyer Sound CQ-1 loudspeaker’s unique combination
of precise pattern control, compact size, low distortion and high power
make it suitable for a wide variety of installed and rental applications.
The Meyer Sound CQ-1 is perfect as the main PA in small- to mid-sized
auditoriums, houses of worship, clubs and hotel ballroom settings, and
is highly effective in delayed fill applications for arenas and outdoor
concert systems. The Meyer Sound CQ-1 loudspeaker’s low-frequency
section comprises a single 15-inch Meyer Sound cone driver, and the high-frequency
section utilizes a 4-inch diaphragm compression driver coupled to an 80-degree
by 40-degree constant-Q horn.
The sophisticated Meyer Sound MP-2/CQ-1 power amplifier is integrated
into an accessible, lightweight rear module. The amplification, processing
and protection circuitry produces consistent and predictable results in
any system design. The proprietary two-channel amplifier employs Meyer
Sound’s proven class AB/H design with complementary MOSFET output
stages, and delivers 1240 watts burst power (620 watts per channel). Audio
is processed through an electronic crossover and correction filters for
phase and frequency response, as well as driver protection circuitry.
Each amplifier channel of the Meyer Sound CQ-1 has TruPower® limiting
technology which maximizes loudspeaker reliability, minimizing power compression
and extending component life. TruPower also affords higher continuous
SPL capability at all frequencies with maximum headroom and regulates
voice coil temperature. Limiter activity is easy to monitor with the limit
LEDs on the rear panel.
The Meyer Sound MP-2/CQ-1 amplifier’s power supply incorporates
Meyer Sound’s Intelligent AC™ system, which performs automatic
voltage selection, EMI filtering, soft current turn-on and surge suppression.
Intelligent AC allows fail-safe operation worldwide, with no need to manually
select the AC mains voltage. The compact Meyer Sound CQ-1 system is housed
in an all-birch multi-ply enclosure with a textured, hard shell black
finish. It is flyable and arrayable using standard ring and stud pan fittings
on top and bottom rated at 500 lbs (226.80 kg) with a 5:1 safety factor.
An optional mounting yoke allows flexible, quick installation and easy
aiming in theatrical and permanent applications.
Options for the CQ-1 cabinet include weather protection and finishes
in custom colors for fixed installations and other situations requiring
specific cosmetics. The Meyer Sound CQ-1 integrates with the optional
RMS™ remote monitoring system, which displays signal and power levels,
driver status, limiter activity, and amplifier temperature on a remote
Windows® computer. |
