| The low- and mid-frequency section of the Meyer Sound
MVC-5 consists of 10 precisely spaced fiveinch cone drivers arranged in
a two-by-five configuration. At lower frequencies, all drivers combine
to reproduce powerful, coherent bass response. In the mid frequencies,
the crossover feeds the signal to only the five drivers adjacent to the
high-frequency horns. The high-frequency section consists of 15 vertically
aligned 0.75-inch dome drivers installed in five constant-directivity
horns with a broad 100-degree horizontal coverage.
The aligned set of drivers functions as a line array, focusing the sound
into a graduated, controlled vertical coverage pattern ideal to cover
single-level listening areas. The unique graduated stepped vertical coverage
can produce similar sound pressure levels and frequency response at both
longer distances on axis to the upper portion of the enclosure and shorter
distances below and closer to the loudspeaker. Overall vertical coverage
extends downward approximately 50 degrees below direct on-axis positioning.
When suspended in a venue, the MVC-5 loudspeaker can achieve levels useful
for speech reinforcement (approximately 90 dB peak on axis) at distances
up to 300 feet (90 meters). By distributing and properly delaying enclosures
approximately 100 to 200 feet from each other in the on-axis orientation,
the system will provide smooth, even coverage throughout a very large
single-level listening area.
The Meyer Sound MVC-5 is powered with a proprietary eight-channel, class
AB/bridged power amplifier, with complementary MOSFET output stages. Total
burst power output is 2150 watts. Audio is processed through an electronic
crossover and correction filters for phase and frequency response, as
well as driver protection. The field-replaceable amplifier/processing
package incorporates Meyer Sound’s Intelligent AC, which autoselects
the correct operating voltage, suppresses high-voltage transients, filters
EMI and provides soft-start power-up. The standard version offers looping
XLR input and output connectors, while an enhanced looping version adds
polarity switching and input attenuation from 0 dB to -18 dB (looping
output is not affected).
The durable enclosure of premium birch plywood is covered with a black
textured hard-shell finish. A protective hex-stamped steel grille lined
with black mesh and charcoal grey foam are included. The Meyer Sound MVC-5
is designed for singleenclosure suspension and features four ring and
stud fittings on top with a load rating of 250 lbs (113.60 kg) at a 5:1
safety factor, plus a single fitting on the bottom to adjust the pull-up
angle. The tightly sealed enclosure, special adhesives and paint, multi-layer
grille, and other dust- and weather-resistant appointments form a distributed,
self-powered loudspeaker system that will maintain its reliability and
performance for many years under continual use. Options include custom
color finishes, and cabinets with no handles for applications requiring
specific cosmetics.
