The Meyer Sound CP-10 Comple-
mentary Phase Parametric Equalizer is
a two-channel unit, each channel
comprising five bands of fully paramet-
ric equalization and individual high-
and low-cut shelving filters.
The CP-10 is designed for precision
room equalization in sound reinforce-
ment or studio monitoring, and
features Meyer Sound’s exclusive
Complementary Phase circuitry.
Capable of matching exactly the
properties of typical acoustic reso-
nances and reflections, this unique
circuitry makes possible simultaneous
improvements to an installed system’s
amplitude and phase response.
The CP-10 equalizer is an integral
component of Meyer Sound’s propri-
etary SIM
®
(Source Independent
Measurement) system. Coupling high-
resolution, in-concert, multiple-point
measurement with Complementary
Phase equalization, this revolutionary
technology assures unprecedented
sound system performance — even in
the most difficult acoustical environ-
ments. (For more information on SIM,
contact Meyer Sound.)
The CP-10 also serves as a very
effective, high-quality outboard equal-
izer for music recording. Its graceful,
symmetrical parametric filters and
natural phase characteristics ensure
maximum flexibility with minimum
sonic perturbation. Coupled with very
low harmonic distortion and a 110 dB
dynamic range, these attributes place
the CP-10 in a class with the finest
outboard equalizers available.
With specifications to meet the most
demanding professional requirements,
the Meyer Sound CP-10 offers uncom-
promised performance in recording and
reinforcement applications. Individually
socketed, field-replaceable circuit cards
and automatic bypass switching ensure
maximum reliability with extended use.
