Meyer Sound PSM-2

The fans draw air in through ducts on the front of the

cabinet, over the heatsinks, and out the rear of the

cabinet. Since dust does not accumulate in the amplifier

circuitry, its life span is increased significantly. Make

sure that the air ducts are clear and that there is at

least 6” clearance for exhaust behind the cabinet.

A foam insert filter, in combination with the entire

front grill surface, acts as an air filter for the cooling

system. Despite the filtering, extensive use or a dusty

operating environment can allow dust to accumulate

along the path of the airflow, preventing normal cooling.

We recommend periodically removing the grill, filter,

and amplifier module and using compressed air to

clear dust from the grill, filter, fans, and heatsinks.

Example Applications

NOTE: Orientations refer to the angle formed by the

planes of the cabinet face and the horizontal surface on

which the PSM-2 is placed; see the diagrams (right).

The PSM-2 is most often used as a stage monitor at a

35° or 55° angle. The choice of orientation depends on

the musician’s height and distance from the monitor.

In general, orient the PSM-2 at

•35° to stand within 2 ft of the monitor;

•55° to stand further than 6 ft from the monitor.

The PSM-2 can be used effectively with a Meyer self-

powered subwoofer with, or without, a crossover. The

third example discusses an application without a

crossover. The Meyer LD-1A Line Driver assists using

the PSM-2 as a mid-hi speaker with a sub by providing

a crossover, mid-hi and sub level controls, and EQ

functions. Contact Meyer Sound for information about

the LD-1A.

At any orientation, the PSM-2’s coverage area is:

–6 dB points: 50° H x 50° V

–10 dB points: 70° H x 70° V

PSM-2 at 35

With the PSM-2 at 35°, a 5’10” person is within the

coverage area when standing at distances up to about

6 ft from the monitor. The diagram below shows a

grey figure at 8 ft, outside the coverage area.

At 35°, the horn is above the 12” cone driver and the

top-to-bottom profile is 20.5”.

PSM-2 at 55

With the PSM-2 at 55°, a 5’10” person is within the

coverage area when standing at distances from 2 to 20 ft

from the monitor. The diagram below shows a grey

figure at 1 ft, outside the coverage area.

At 55°, the horn is to the left of the 12” driver and the

top-to-bottom profile is 19.5”.
