The Meyer Sound MSL-5 is an extremely
high-power, high-definition loudspeaker
system designed for large-scale music
reinforcement and public address applica-
tions. Unique in its class, it combines
exceptionally consistent directivity with
seamless arraying performance for precise
coverage control.
The MSL-5 comprises an all-horn,
integral loudspeaker cabinet constructed as
a 30-degree arrayable section, with two
proprietary 12-inch cone low-frequency
drivers in a vented, horn-loaded enclosure
and three 2-inch throat (4-inch diaphragm)
high-frequency horn drivers. The cabinet is
fitted with handles and with rigging lift
rings having a 1500 lb. maximum safe
working load capacity that are bolted
directly to an internal steel frame.
Designed specifically for use with SIM
®
System II, the MSL-5 requires the M-5
Control Electronics Unit, and its standard
minimum configuration comprises two
loudspeaker cabinets. The MSL-5 effectively
covers the vocal range, and may be used
alone for paging applications. In music
reinforcement applications, the DS-2 Mid-
Bass Loudspeaker is recommended to
supplement the low-frequency performance
of the system.
