Meyer Sound 600-HP - Manual (Page 9)

CHAPTER 1
The 600-HP is a self-powered, high-output subwoofer
that may be used in both flown and ground-stacked
configurations. It is designed to rig directly with MICA™
compact high-power curvilinear array loudspeakers when
fitted with the optional QuickFly MRF-600 rigging frame.
The versatility of the 600-HP also allows it to be used with
a variety of other Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeakers
— such as M’elodie, CQ-1, CQ-2, UPA-1P, UPA-2P, and
UPJ-1P — in fixed and touring applications.

HIGH POWER AND HIGH PERFORMANCE
The system features two specially designed high-power
15-inch cone drivers, engineered to provide optimal per-
formance in subwoofer applications. The high-excursion,
back-vented drivers have 4-inch voice coils, and each is
rated to handle 1200 watts (AES*). Each cone driver is
driven by a channel of the integral two-channel class AB/H
amplifier with complementary MOSFET output stages.
Total output power is 2250 watts (4500 watts peak), and
the operating frequency range is from 36 Hz to 150 Hz,
with a peak SPL of 138 dB. An amplifier with integral signal
processing and driver protection is integrated into a field-
replaceable module mounted in the rear of the enclosure.
The RMS remote monitoring system — standard with
the rigging version and optional on other configurations
— allows comprehensive monitoring of system parameters
on a Windows
® -based network.
*Power handling is measured under AES standard condi-
tions: transducer driven continuously for two hours with
band-limited noise signal having a 6 dB peak-average ratio.
VERSATILE CONFIGURING AND RIGGING
The 600-HP is available for fixed installations or portable
applications; all versions include rugged plastic skids on the
bottom of the unit to ensure secure stacking and prevent
damage to the enclosure.
The three available side-panel options are:
■ MRF-600 rigging frame
■ Panels with handles
■ Blank panels with no handles
Figure 1.2. Side-panel options
When fitted with the optional QuickFly MRF-600 rigging
frame, the 600-HP is designed to rig directly with the MICA
compact, high-power curvilinear array loudspeakers.
The optional MRF-600 rigging frame uses captive, rigid
GuideALinks™. A slot and convenient pinned handle allow
the links to be moved and pinned for arraying or storage.
The 600-HP can make use of the optional MG-MICA rigging
grid for flown and stacked configurations.
