Operating Instructions

The DS-2 is a high-power, arrayable mid-bass loud-

speaker designed to supplement Meyer Sound rein–

forcement systems in the 50-160 Hz range. The sys-

tem utilizes two proprietary 15-inch cone drivers in a

folded horn enclosure braced with steel vertical rein-

forcing rods. The horn features a hyperbolic flare for

maximum energy transfer with minimum frequency

response ripple. Its balanced compression chamber

presents a symmetrical load to the drivers, providing

very high power handling and low distortion.

The DS-2 is designed to operate as a system with the

D-2 Control Electronics Unit. The D-2 comprises an

electronic crossover, Meyer Sound exclusive

SpeakerSense™ driver protection circuitry, and am-

plitude and phase response correction circuitry opti-

mized for the DS-2. A switch-defeatable crossover

and line-level output to drive subwoofer systems is

provided, with a preset-panel sub polarity switch to

facilitate aligning the subwoofers with the main sys-

tem.
