Meyer Sound 80 - Manual (Page 8)

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Boasting a frequency response of 38 Hz to 17 kHz at ±4 dB,
as well as a generous peak output of 139 dB at 1 meter with
very low distortion, the Acheron stands up to the most
demanding of digital soundtracks, maintaining a wide
dynamic range and full fidelity. Designed and manufactured
at Meyer Sound's headquarters in Berkeley, California, the
Acheron's drivers include one 15-inch low-frequency neody-
mium magnet cone driver and one high-frequency 4-inch
diaphragm compression driver. The drivers yield uncompro-
mising quality and full bandwidth, making the Acheron suit-
able for small and medium theatres, re-recording stages,
and production and post-production facilities. When pairing
an Acheron with an Acheron LF, the system offers enough
headroom for large theatres.
The Acheron's sophisticated onboard amplification pro-
duces consistent and predictable results in any system
design. The proprietary Meyer Sound power amplifier is a
two-channel, class AB/H amplifier with complementary
MOSFET output stages that yields a total output of 1685 W
(3370 W peak). Built-in signal processing includes an elec-
tronic crossover and correction filters — to achieve a flat
phase and frequency response — along with driver protec-
tion circuitry. The self-powered design not only ensures con-
sistent results but also simplifies installation in both new and
existing rooms.
The optional RMS™ remote monitoring system allows com-
prehensive monitoring of system parameters on a Windows
® -
based computer.
Strategically placed 3/8-inch threaded points on the side
corners of the Acheron cabinet allow the unit to be secured
to floors with uptilt or downtilt using the optional mounting
brackets. The Acheron can also be mounted on top of the
Acheron LF loudspeaker, with uptilt or downtilt, using the
optional stacking brackets. Both brackets are available for
purchase from Meyer Sound.
