2 INTRODUCTION With an operating frequency range of 28 Hz to 160 Hz, the dual 15-inch M2D-Sub loudspeaker complements the M2D loudspeaker in reinfor cement applications requiring extended low-frequency headr oom. The M2D-Sub loudspeaker affor ds 138 dB SPL peak output capability . It employs two Meyer Sound ferrouid cooled, back-vented drivers e[...]

3 CHAPTER 1 The M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers repr esent advanced technology with equally advanced power capabilities. Understanding power distribution, voltage and current requir ements, as well as electrical safety issues, is critical to their safe operation and deployment. AC POWER The M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers use a PowerCon ® 3-pole AC main[...]

4 CHAPTER 1 5 CHAPTER 1 VOL T AGE AND CURRENT REQUIREMENTS M2D V oltage Requirements The M2D loudspeaker operates safely and without audio discontinuity if the AC voltage stays within the operating window of 90 to 265 volts AC, at 50 to 60 Hz. The M2D can withstand continuous voltages up to 265 V olts and allows any combination of voltage to GND (t[...]

6 CHAPTER 1 7 CHAPTER 1 M2D-Sub V oltage Requirements The M2D-Sub loudspeaker operates safely and without audio discontinuity if the AC voltage stays within either of two operating windows at 50 or 60 Hz:  85 to 134 volts  165 to 264 volts CAUTION: Continuous voltages higher than 264 volts can damage the unit. After applying AC power , the pr[...]

6 CHAPTER 1 7 CHAPTER 1 NOTE: For best performance, the AC cable voltage drop should not exceed 10 volts, or 10 percent at 115 volts and 5 per cent at 230 volts. Make sure that even with the AC voltage dr op the AC voltage always stays in the operating windows. The minimum electrical service amperage requir ed by the M2D-Sub system is the sum of ea[...]

9 CHAPTER 2 The M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers use sophisticated amplication and protection cir cuitry to produce consistent and predictable r esults in any system design. This chapter will help you understand and harness the power of the M2D and M2D-Sub amplier and audio systems. The rear panels of the M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers (Figures 2.1[...]

10 CHAPTER 2 11 CHAPTER 2 When driving multiple loudspeakers in an array , make certain that the source device can drive the total load impedance presented by the paralleled input cir cuit of the array . The audio source must be capable of pr oducing a minimum of 20 dB volts (10 volts rms into 600 ohms) in order to pr oduce the maximum peak SPL ove[...]

12 CHAPTER 2 13 CHAPTER 2 M2D-SUB AMPLIFICA TION The M2D-Sub loudspeaker is powered by the Meyer Sound HP-2/M2D-Sub amplier , a high-power two- channel amplier . The amplier utilizes complementary MOSFET output stages (class AB/H) capable of delivering 2250 watts total. All the specic functions for the M2D- Sub loudspeaker such as cross[...]

12 CHAPTER 2 13 CHAPTER 2 M2D-SUB AMPLIFIER COOLING SYSTEM The M2D-Sub loudspeaker uses a forced-air cooling system with two fans to prevent the amplier module from overheating. The fans draw air in thr ough ducts on the front of the cabinet, over the heatsink, and out the rear of the cabinet (Figur e 2.6). Because dust does not accumulate in th[...]

15 CHAPTER 3 The M2D and M2D-Sub loudspeakers are tted standar d with an RMS communication module installed in the rear of the loudspeaker . The RMS real-time networked monitoring system connects Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeakers with a Windows-based PC at the sound mix position or other remote location. Optional RMS softwar e delivers exten[...]

16 CHAPTER 3 Service Button Pressing the Service button will display an icon on the corresponding loudspeaker display icon on the RMS screen. When used in combination with the Reset button, the communications module will be decommissioned from the network and the red Service LED will blink.

17 CHAPTER 4 A line array , in the most basic sense, is a group of closely spaced loudspeakers arrayed in a straight line, operating with equal amplitude and in phase. Although line arrays have been used since the 1950s, line array systems that provide full bandwidth dir ectivity are r elatively new to the sound reinfor cement industry . HOW LINE A[...]

18 CHAPTER 4 19 CHAPTER 4  Horizontal Coverage . Horizontal coverage for a single array can be considered constant r egardless of the number of array elements or the angles between them. TIP: The angle between two or more line arrays can also be changed to meet additional design requir ements (for example, wall reections). Given these factors[...]

18 CHAPTER 4 19 CHAPTER 4 Figures 4.1 shows a series of MAPP Online pr edictions based on an example M2D system design. In this case, small vertical splay angles on the upper part of the array are used to cover longer distances, while gr eater angles are used in the lower elements to increase vertical coverage for shorter distances. Figure 4.1: Usi[...]

20 CHAPTER 4 21 CHAPTER 4 In addition, the use of high-pass lters to drive an M2D system with the M2D-Sub attens overall frequency response and slightly incr eases M2D headroom in the lowest end of its usable spectrum. The ideal ratio of M2D to M2D-Sub loudspeakers depends on the conguration of the system, the application, and the frequenc[...]

20 CHAPTER 4 21 CHAPTER 4 Using the LD-3 In addition to the 160 Hz high-pass lter on the LD-3, the LD-3 compensating line driver provides additional ltering capabilities to help you further ne-tune an M2D/M2D-Sub system.
