Equipped with two-conductor twisted-pair network, reporting all 
operating parameters of amplifiers to system operator’s

The  loudspeaker  shall  be  a  self-powered  stage  monitor;  the 
transducers shall consist of two 12-inch diameter cone drivers 
and a 4-inch diaphragm  compression  driver on a 50-degree 
symmetrical  horn.  The  loudspeaker  system  shall  incorporate 
internal processing electronics and a three-channel amplifier, 
one channel for each driver. Processing functions shall include 
equalization, phase correction, signal division, and protection 
for the high- and low-frequency sections. The crossover point 
shall be 1600 Hz. 
Each amplifier channel shall be class AB/H with complementary 
MOSFET output stages. Burst capability for the low-frequency 
channels shall be 500 watts total with nominal 2-ohm resistive 
load  and  275  watts  for  the  high-frequency  channel  with 
nominal 8-ohm resistive load. Peak power shall be 2550 watts. 
Distortion (THD, IM, TIM) shall not exceed 0.02%.
Notes:
Performance specifications for a typical production unit shall 
be as follows, measured  at  1/3-octave resolution: Operating 
frequency range shall be 55 Hz to 18 kHz. Phase response shall 
be  ±45°  from  500  Hz to 16  kHz.  Maximum  peak  SPL shall be 
139  dB  at 1 meter, half-space loading. Coverage shall be 50 
degrees by 50 degrees. 
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. 
Connector shall be XLR (A-3) type female with parallel looping 
Male or VEAM all-in-one multipin connector. RF filtering shall 
be provided, and CMRR shall be greater than 80 dB from 50 Hz 
to 500 Hz.  The internal power supply shall perform automatic 
voltage selection, EMI filtering, soft current turn-on and surge 
suppression. Powering requirements shall be nominal 100, 110 
or 230 V AC line current at 50 or 60 Hz. UL and CE operating 
voltage range shall be 100 to 240 V AC. Maximum peak current 
draw during burst shall be 7.90 A at 115 V AC, 4.10 A at 230 V 
AC, and 9.24 A at 100 V AC. Current inrush during soft turn-on 
shall not exceed 10 A at 115 V AC. AC power connectors shall be 
PowerCon with looping capabilities or VEAM all-in-one multi-
pin connector.
The  loudspeaker  system  shall  provide  facilities  for  installing 
Meyer  Sound’s  optional  RMS  remote  monitoring  system.  All 
components shall be mounted in an acoustically vented wedge-
shaped enclosure constructed of premium birch plywood with 
a black textured hard-shell finish. The front grille shall be hex 
stamped  steel  with  black  mesh  screen.  Dimensions  shall  be 
27.07" wide x 16.11" high x 23.00" deep (688 mm x  409 mm x 
584 mm). Weight shall be 108 lbs (49 kg). The enclosure front 
angle shall be 40 degrees.
The loudspeaker shall be the Meyer Sound MJF-212A.
1.   Recommended maximum operating 
frequency range. Response depends 
on loading conditions and room 
acoustics.
2.   Half-space loading measured with 
1/3-octave frequency resolution at 4 
meters.
3.   Measured with music, half-space 
loading, referred to 1 meter.
4.   At this frequency, the transducers 
produce equal sound pressure levels.
5.   Power handling is measured under 
AES standard conditions: transducers 
driven continuously for two hours 
with band limited noise signal having 
a 6 dB peak-average ratio.
6.   Amplifier wattage rating based on  
the maximum unclipped burst sine-
wave rms voltage that the amplifier 
will produce for at least 0.5 seconds 
into the nominal load impedance.
7.   Peak power based on the maximum 
unclipped peak voltage that the 
amplifier will produce for at least 100 
milliseconds into the nominal load 
impedance.
8.   AC power cabling must be of sufficient 
gauge so that under burst current rms 
conditions, cable transmission losses 
do not drop voltage below specified 
operating range at the speaker.
