High-power Cinema Surround Loudspeaker
Model: HMS-15
- Exceptional fidelity and extended high-frequency performance
- Constant-directivity horn yields uniform response throughout coverage area
- Extraordinarily flat amplitude and phase responses for tonal accuracy
- Seamless integration with Acheron screen channel loudspeakers, as well as with other HMS surround loudspeakers
- Mounts on walls or ceilings with optional adjustable-mount bracket or U-bracket
The HMS-15's transducers include a 15-inch low-frequency, long-excursion cone driver and a 3-inch diaphragm high-frequency compression driver on a constant-directivity 80-degree horizontal by 50-degree vertical horn that delivers exceptional consistency. The proprietary drivers-designed and manufactured at Meyer Sound's headquarters in Berkeley, California -are powered by two channels of onboard amplification that include an active crossover, driver protection circuitry, and correction filters for flat phase and frequency responses.
The versatile HMS-15 can be mounted on walls or ceilings at fixed or adjustable angles with the optional wall-mount brackets or U-bracket, allowing the unit to be deployed per the requirements of any surround application or immersive cinema format.
The HMS-15 requires two channels of DC power from an MPS-488HP external power supply. Powering the unit from an external source eliminates the need for wiring conduits while still preserving the advantages of self- powered, bi-amplified loudspeaker systems. For even greater flexibility, the HMS-15AC model is available for AC installations. Meyer Sound's RMS remote monitoring system provides comprehensive monitoring of system parameters on a Mac® or Windows®-based computer. RMS is available for the HMS-15 via the RMS option for the MPS-488HP external power supply. RMS is available for the HMS-15AC as an onboard loudspeaker option.
Meyer Sound's industry leading self-powered loudspeaker technology not only delivers unparalleled and consistent audio fidelity but also simplifies installation, whether designing new rooms from scratch or adding surround channels to existing setups. The HMS-15's textured finish and black cloth grille blend smartly with any theatre decor.
