  • Page 3: Safety Summary

    NGLISH • To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from the AC mains before installing audio cable. Reconnect the power cord only after making all signal connections. • Connect the unit to a two-pole, three wire grounding mains receptacle. The receptacle must be connected to a fuse or circuit breaker.
  • Page 4: Voltage Requirements

    When AC power is applied to the MTS-4A, the Intelligent AC™ supply automatically selects the correct operating voltage, allowing the MTS-4A to be used in the US, Europe, or Japan without manually setting a voltage switch. The Intelligent AC power supply also performs surge suppression for high voltage transients (up to 275 V), minimizes inrush current, and filters EMI.

    2. Use standard audio cables AMPLIFICATION AND PROTECTION CIRCUITRY Each driver in the MTS-4A is powered by one channel of the Meyer MP-4, a four-channel 2480 W amplifier (620 W/ch) utilizing complementary power MOSFET output stages (class AB/H).
  • Page 7 600 lb (273 kg). This working load is based on a 5:1 safety factor. The MTS-4A has five rigging brackets (three on top, two on bottom). Each bracket is capable of supporting the full working load of the cabinet.

    Due to the summation between the PSW-4 and the MTS-4A, the system frequency 1. The Meyer Sound SIM II is a computer-based dual channel FFT analysis system optimized for electroacoustic measurement. dB/oct, Q = 0.8) that performs a crossover function for the Mid-Hi output.
  • Page 9: Verifying Driver Polarity

    To insure that the systems combine properly in this area: • Set the CQ to the opposite polarity to the MTS-4A to phase MTS-4A Lower System align the mid-hi frequencies and minimize the MTS-4A’s low frequency down-lobe.
  • Page 10: Array Design

    ARRAY DESIGN ACKGROUND Creating an effective array with the MTS-4A requires a precise understanding of how to combine the coverage area and SPL of the individual speaker with those of adjacent speakers. Array design is a trade-off between increasing on-axis power and creating smooth transitions between the coverage areas of adjacent speakers.
  • Page 11 The table on this page shows the SPL and coverage angles that result from grouping the MTS-4A in arrays of up to five units horizontally and two rows vertically. All splay angles refer to the angle between cabinet centers.
