The loudspeaker shall be a self-powered, full range system. The
transducers shall consist of a 15-inch diameter cone driver and
a 1.5-inch throat, 4-inch diaphragm compression driver on an
80-degree horizontal by 40-degree vertical constant-Q horn.
The loudspeaker system shall incorporate internal processing
electronics and a two-channel amplifier. Processing functions
shall include equalization, phase correction, driver protection
and signal division for the high- and low-frequency sections.
The crossover point shall be 700 Hz. Each amplifier channel
shall be class AB/H with complementary MOSFET output stages.
Burst capability shall be 620 watts each channel (1240 watts
total) with nominal 8-ohm resistive load. Distortion (THD, IM,
TIM) shall not exceed 0.02 percent. Protection circuits shall
include TruPower limiting.
Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall
be as follows: Operating frequency range shall be 35 Hz to 18
Notes:
kHz. Phase response shall be ±90 degrees from 50 Hz to 16 kHz.
Maximum peak SPL shall be 136 dB at 1 meter. Beamwidth shall
be 80 degrees horizontal from 500 Hz to 16 kHz and 40 degrees
vertical from 1500 Hz to 12 kHz.
The audio input shall be electronically balanced with a 10 kOhm
impedance and accept a nominal 0 dBV (1 V rms, 1.4 V pk) signal
(+20 dBV to produce maximum peak SPL). Connectors shall be
XLR (A-3) type male and female or VEAM all-in-one (integrates
AC, audio and network). RF filtering shall be provided. CMRR
shall be greater than 50 dB (typically 80 dB 50 Hz to 500 Hz).
The internal power supply shall perform automatic voltage
selection, EMI filtering, soft current turn-on and surge sup-
pression. Powering requirements shall be nominal 100 V, 110 V
or 230 V AC line current at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. UL and CE operating
voltage ranges shall be 95 to 125 V AC and 208 to 235 V AC.
Current draw during burst shall be 15 A at 115 V AC and 8 A at
230 V AC. Current inrush during soft turn-on shall not exceed 7
A at 115 V AC. AC power connectors shall be locking NEMA L6-
20 connector, IEC 309 male or VEAM.
The loudspeaker system shall provide facilities for installing the
optional RMS remote monitoring and control system.
All loudspeaker components shall be mounted in an acoustically
vented trapezoidal enclosure constructed of birch plywood
with a hard black textured finish. The front protective grille
shall be perforated hex metal covered by charcoal gray foam.
Dimensions shall be 21.00” wide x 30.00” high x 22.20” deep
(533 mm x 762 mm x 564 mm). Weight shall be 130 lbs (58.97 kg).
Rigging points shall be four ring and stud pan fittings, two each
top and bottom, rated at 500 lbs (226.80 kg) per fitting at a 5:1
safety factor; 3/8-inch or metric M10 nut plates are optional.
The loudspeaker shall be the Meyer Sound CQ-1.
1. Recommended maximum operating
frequency range. Response depends
on loading conditions and room
acoustics.
2. Free field, measured with 1/3-octave
frequency resolution at 4 meters.
3. Measured with music at 1 meter.
4. At this frequency, the low- and high-
frequency transducers produce equal
sound pressure levels.
5. Power handling is measured under
AES standard conditions: transducer
driven continuously for two hours
with band-limited noise signal having
a 6 dB peak-average ratio.
6. Amplifier wattage rating is based
on the maximum unclipped burst
sine-wave rms voltage the amplifier
will produce into the nominal load
impedance. Both channels 70 V rms
(100 V pk) into 8 ohms
