The MM-4XP contains all amplification and corrective processing onboard, and receives 48V DC from an external power supply on a five-pin EN3 connector that also carries balanced audio. The Switchcraft EN3 connector has been successfully used on the weather-protected version of the MM-4 for years, and offers the dual advantages of small size and excellent protection against adverse environmental conditions, facilitating use of the MM-4XP in outdoor applications, say Meyer.
The company adds that the MM-4XP meets the high performance standard established by the MM-4, and exhibits the high intelligibility and flat frequency and phase responses for which Meyer Sound's products are known. The MM4-XP is aimed at a wide variety of installation needs where space is limited or visibility is a factor, such as fill and spot coverage, or installation in steps and other hidden locations. Its versatility also makes it well suited to touring sound applications like stage lip front-fill, and small portable systems, such as are often needed for corporate AV uses.
Containing only a single Meyer Sound-designed and manufactured 4" cone driver, the MM-4XP is capable of a 113 dB maximum peak SPL output and reproduces a wide operating frequency range of 120Hz to 18kHz at very low distortion. The MM-4XP is designed to deliver high peak SPL without drawing high instantaneous peak DC current, enabling the use of light gauge cables and long cable runs of up to several hundred feet. The MM-4XP can also be ordered custom-painted to match decor.
