Description

Meyer Sound 500-HP Powered Subwoofer

The 500-HP is a self-powered, high-output subwoofer suitable for both flown and ground stacked configurations. The compact subwoofer integrates smartly with Meyer Sound self-powered, full-range loudspeakers. When fitted with the QuickFly MRF-500 rigging frame, the 500-HP arrays directly with the Melodie ultracompact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker. The integral 1.5-inch pole-mount receptacle, included with all 500-HPs, allows the subwoofer to be easily paired with UltraSeries loudspeakers, for either fixed or touring applications. The 500-HP subwoofer boasts an operating frequency range of 35 Hz to 140 Hz and a peak SPL of 135 dB at 1 meter.

Features:

  • Exceptional power-to-size ratio
  • Efficient low-distortion, high-power, high-excursion cone drivers
  • High peak power output yields excellent transient reproduction and low-frequency clarity
  • Low-frequency complement to M'elodie and UltraSeries self-powered loudspeakers
  • Stackable and flyable with other 500-HPs in regular and cardioid arrays, as well as with M'elodie loudspeakers
  • Integral pole-mount receptacle easily pairs the subwoofer with UltraSeries loudspeakers
  • Portable in stacks of up to three units with the optional MCF-500 caster frame
