Meyer Sound MM-10XP Miniature Subwoofer

About: Meyer Sound MM-10XP Miniature Subwoofer

The MM-10XP miniature subwoofer delivers low frequency for applications that require excellent audio quality from a compact system. Designed primarily as a companion to Meyer Sound's MM-4XP miniature loudspeaker, the MM-10 allows system designers to create full-range systems where space limitations are a concern.

The MM-10 features an operating frequency range of 33 Hz to 228 Hz with a linear peak SPL of 118 dB. The MM-10 bass reflex cabinet houses a single 10-inch driver and a single-channel power amplifier complete with onboard processing, including a crossover, driver protection, and frequency and phase correction. The built-in crossover accepts full-range signals, facilitating basic daisy-chaining for signal distribution, eliminating the need for external crossovers in small setups.

The MM-10XP is powered by an external 48 V DC power supply, eliminating the need for wiring conduits while still preserving the advantages of self-powered loudspeaker systems. The unit's onboard amplifier and signal-processing circuits were designed to store DC power and tolerate voltage drops, thereby accommodating light-gauge cables and lengthy cable runs. The MM-10XP is available with either a Phoenix 5-pin male or SwitchCraft EN3 male connector for receiving balanced audio and DC power.

Expansive Quality from a Compact System

• SPACE LIMITATIONS? NO PROBLEM - Delivering expanded low frequency for applications that require excellent audio quality from a compact system, the MM-10 subwoofer allows system designers to create full-range systems where space limitations are a concern, and are adaptable to complement MM‑4XP, UP‑4slim, and Ashby‑5C or Ashby‑8C loudspeakers.
• DIFFERENT MODELS FOR YOUR NEEDS - Available in three models: the MM-10XP, with IntelligentDC technology, is powered by an external power supply; the MM-10AC includes an internal power supply and connectors to AC input and output; and the MM-10ACX includes onboard DC power and audio routing for driving other loudspeakers. A single MM-10ACX can power the following options: one UP‑4slim UltraCompact Loudspeaker, two MM‑4XP Miniature Self-Powered Loudspeakers, two Ashby‑8C ceiling loudspeakers, or up to four Ashby‑5C compact ceiling speakers.
• BIG SOUND FOR SMALL SPACES - The MM-10 subwoofer works for background music, portable AV systems, or compact voice reinforcement systems, and has options for ceiling mounting, weather protection including rain hoods, and custom color finishes.

Why Self-Powered?

Self-powered loudspeakers offer several advantages over their passive counterparts when it comes to fidelity, reliability, and simplicity. The great part is, you’ll start to reap the benefits of a self-powered system before you even power up.

Ease of Deployment

System set-up is so much easier when you have fewer components and fewer cables to worry about being miswired. Since self-powered loudspeakers incorporate amplification, you’ll never have to deal with matching speakers to amplifiers or connecting components. You don’t have to worry about calibration of gain and crossover setting which means more time focusing on the show. Eliminating amp racks doesn’t just streamline system deployment, it streamlines your inventory whether you’re a rental house or a road warrior. And when you consider that the average amp rack weighs nearly 300 pounds and takes up four feet of truck space, the efficiencies get even clearer. Let alone when you want to fly the amplifier racks to get closer to the speakers, often requiring more rigging points and more motors.

Predictable, Reliable Operation

Internal amplification is closely matched to drivers. Because individual components have been optimized during manufacturing, you can expect consistent sound from show to show. Built-in, factory-optimized protection circuitry provides extra assurance without degrading signal quality. And, when you have less equipment, you have less risk of failure.

Better Frequency and Phase Response

Because self-powered loudspeakers incorporate sophisticated processing, they are calibrated to exhibit optimal response curves in key performance parameters. Active crossovers are more precise, sophisticated designs, and bi-amped systems are time aligned, eliminating phase issues. The result? Accurate sound throughout the speaker’s range, at any volume level.

Unparalleled Clarity

In powered monitors, internal amplifiers are precision-matched to drivers, delivering optimal power at all times for cleaner sound. And because amps are built into loudspeaker cabinets, there’s no need for long lengths of connecting cable, which can become prone to distortion and signal loss.

Tighter Transients

Since self-powered loudspeakers have very short internal cables, amps inside can more effectively dampen driver mechanical motion, which leads to better sonic accuracy and tighter, crisper transients. (And, there’s none of the loss in levels and signal quality inherent over long cable distances.)
