THE MTS-4A: INTRODUCTION The Meyer MTS-4A self-powered loudspeaker is a compact, enclosure. This integrated design improves performance, self-contained, full-range system suited for clubs and small durability, and reliability, eliminates amplifier racks, and theatres (throw distances less than 100 ft). Its trapezoidal simplifies setup and installation. The MTS-4A has the shape facilitates array design that maximizes coverage and following acoustical specifications: SPL for the size of the a

AUDIO INPUT with XLR connectors for balanced signal sources. The MTS-4A presents a 10 kΩ balanced input impedance to a three-pin XLR connector wired with the following convention: NOTE: If abnormal noise (hum, hiss, popping) is produced from Pin 1 220 kΩ to chassis and earth ground (ESD clamped) the loudspeaker, disconnect the audio source from the speaker. If the noise stops, then the problem is not Pin 2 Signal Pin 3 Signal within the loudspeaker; check the audio input and AC power. Cas

The phase response for all drivers varies, to some through each crossover region (40 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 kHz). degree, over the frequency range in which it operates.
