In addition to being the ideal partner in a flown MICA array, the 600-HP's operating frequency range of 33Hz to 150Hz provides a complement to other Meyer Sound self-powered products such as the UPA-1P compact wide coverage or UPJ-1P compact VariO loudspeakers. The 600-HP's power and bandwidth handle high continuous operating levels and extreme transient information with minimal distortion in its operating frequency range.
Meyer Sound's rigorous design approach has been applied to extract the greatest efficiency from every part of the system, resulting in the 600-HP's effortless reproduction of low frequency transient information. As a self-powered system, the transducers, amplification and control electronics of the 600-HP are created as a symbiotic system that optimizes performance and maximizes its tremendous power.
The 600-HP's efficiently tuned cabinet houses two newly-designed, back-vented, long-excursion, 15" cone drivers, manufactured by Meyer Sound. The drivers have been engineered for extreme efficiency at low frequencies in order to provide optimal performance in subwoofer applications. Each driver features a 4" voice coil and is rated to handle 1,200W AES.
An integral two-channel class AB/H amplifier with complementary MOSFET output stages supplies total power of 2,250W (4,000W peak). The amplifier, control electronics and power supply are integrated into a single, field-replaceable module mounted in the rear of the cabinet. The cabinet is constructed of multi-ply hardwood and coated with a textured black finish. Integral metal grilles lined with acoustical black mesh protect the cone drivers.
For maximum convenience in touring situations, the 600-HP, when fitted with the optional rigging frame, can even travel in stacks on the MCF-MICA caster frame. The 600-HP is truck-smart, with exterior cabinet dimensions suitable for both European and US truck widths (41.40" w x 22.50" h x 22" d (1052mm x 572mm x 559mm). An optional QuickFly rigging kit is available, installed at the factory or as a field upgrade.
Options available for the 600-HP include weather protection and finishes in custom colors for fixed installations.
