3 CHAPTER 1 The Meyer Sound MJF-212A is a self-powered stage monitor designed to meet critical monitoring requir ements in professional applications. Exhibiting flat amplitude and phase responses and exceptional impulse r esponse, the MJF-212A meets and exceeds the capabilities of conventional stage monitors while offering the simplicity of setup [...]

4 CHAPTER 1 INTEGRA TED AMPLIFIER AND PROCESSING As a self-powered loudspeaker , the MJF-212A incorporates a high-power , three-channel, class AB/H power amplifier using complementary power MOSFET output stages. In addition, sophisticated control cir cuitry is housed within the cabinet, dramatically simplifying setup and installation. T o use the [...]

5 CHAPTER 2 The MJF-212A monitor combines advanced self-powered loudspeaker technology with equally advanced power capabilities. Understanding the power distribution, voltage, and current r equirements, as well as electrical safety issues, is critical to the safe and correct operation and deployment of the MJF-212A monitor . The MJF-212A uses a Pow[...]

6 CHAPTER 2 The blue input connector serves as the input for all the units looped in that circuit and is rated at 20 amps maximum. Please make sure never to exceed 20 amps on any single connector . Refer to T able 2.1. T able 2.1: Maximum looping capabilities for MJF-212A Circuit Br eaker/ Connector Rating 115 V AC 230 V AC 100 V AC 15 amps 2 Loope[...]

8 CHAPTER 2 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 an MJF-212A system is the sum of each loudspea[...]

9 CHAPTER 3 More than just a self-power ed stage monitor , the MJF-212A uses sophisticated amplification and protection cir cuitry and an advanced limiting system to produce consistent and predictable r esults in any system design. This chapter will help you understand and harness the power of the MJF-212A monitor’ s amplifier and audio systems[...]

10 CHAPTER 3 CAUTION: Please note that the amplifier for the MJF-212A monitor is differ ent from those found in other Meyer Sound loudspeakers. Specific functions for each model, such as crossover points, frequency and phase corr ection, and driver protection ar e determined by the control car ds installed inside the amplifier . Do not exchange [...]

11 CHAPTER 3 The MJF-212A is performing within its acoustical specifications and operating at a normal temperature if the limit LEDs are lit for no longer than two seconds, and then go off for at least one second. If an LED r emains on for longer than three seconds, that channel enters har d limiting , with the following negative consequences: [...]

13 CHAPTER 4 RMS is a real-time monitoring system that connects Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeakers with a Windows-based PC at the sound mix position or other location. Optional RMS software delivers extensive status and system performance data from every installed loudspeaker . The MJF-212A monitor is RMS-ready and can be upgraded by installing [...]

14 CHAPTER 4 NOTE: The Service LED indicates that the stage monitor is not commissioned on the network and has no effect on the acoustical and/or electrical activity of the MJF-212A. The monitor must be commissioned on a network using the RMS software for the service LED to stop blinking. When a loudspeaker has been installed on the network, the Se[...]

15 APPENDIX A The MJF-212A monitor requir es a grounded outlet. It is very important that the system be properly gr ounded in order to operate safely and properly . Figure A.1 illustrates correct wiring for the creation of power cables and distribution systems for MJF-212A stage monitors shipped from the factory with the VEAM multipin connector . l[...]
