The M eyer MTS-4A self-power ed loudspeak er is a compact, self-contain ed, full-r ang e system suited for clubs an d small theatr es (throw distan ces less than 100 ft). Its tr apezoid al shape facilitates arr ay desi gn that maximizes cover age an d SPL for th e size of th e array . Since all fr equenci es are pr odu ced from on e cabinet, th e M[...]
