Meyer Sound 100, 80, LF

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.
