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. The HMS-15 requires two channels of DC power from an MPS-488HP external power supply. The HMS-15AC model is available for AC installations.
COMPLEMENTING ACHERON
Designed to complement Meyer Sound's Acheron screen channel loudspeakers, the self-powered HMS maintains a wide dynamic range, exceptional fidelity, and precise clarity during the most demanding of digital soundtracks. It is available in four models: HMS-5, HMS-10, HMS-12, and HMS-15, ranging in size, weight, driver size, and power to accommodate a wide range of venues and applications.
INTELLIGENT DC
Equipped with IntelligentDC technology and receiving DC power and balanced audio from composite Phoenix 5-pin connectors, all except the HMS-15AC are powered from an external DC source, eliminating the need for AC conduits while preserving the advantages of self-powered systems.
TONAL ACCURACY FOR CINEMAS
Optimized for use in cinemas, high-end private theatres, screening rooms, and other surround applications, the self-powered, full-range HMS line exhibits extraordinarily flat amplitude and phase responses for tonal accuracy.
VERSATILE MOUTNING OPTIONS
The versatile HMS can be suspended or mounted on walls or ceilings at fixed or adjustable angles with optional half-yoke, U-bracket, or wallmount brackets, allowing it to be deployed per the requirements of any surround application or immersive cinema format.
Meyer Sound's industry-leading self-powered 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 installations. The HMS cabinet features a black textured finish and an acoustically transparent, detachable, black cloth grille that blend smartly with any theatre decor.
