Meyer Sound’s IntelligentDC systems, featured at InfoComm 2014, include a range of self-powered loudspeakers driven by the company’s remote IntelligentDC power supply, with one cable carrying power and balanced audio to reduce installation time and cost. Meyer Sound currently offers 12 loudspeakers with IntelligentDC. The smallest in the installation line, the MM-4XP (pictured here), has a four-inch square faceplate, measures less than six inches deep, and weighs 4.2 lbs. The UPJ-1XP is the most powerful, with a peak output of 128 dB SPL across an operating frequency range of 55 Hz to 20 kHz. The line also includes both the UMS-1XP and MM-10XP subwoofers.
Packing all the benefits of self-powering, including consistency and reliability, these systems are ideal for many commercial distributed installations and other systems that demand exceptional audio quality, as well as for where local AC outlets are not available or possible.

The InfoComm demos featured configurations most commonly found in today’s integration projects, and included a number of products with IntelligentDC technology: the MM-4XP self-powered loudspeaker, the UPJunior-XP and UPJ-1XP VariO loudspeakers, the UP-4XP loudspeaker, and the UMS-1XP and MM-10 subwoofers. Another remotely powered installation loudspeaker, the Stella-8C, is also demonstrated.

Meyer Sound also featured its linear sound reinforcement systems (LEO, LYON and the AVB-capable CAL column array loudspeaker) at the show.
In addition, live technical demonstrations on the Meyer Sound stand and the AVnu Alliance Pavilion showcased the power of Audio Video Bridging (AVB) interoperability, featuring the CAL loudspeaker routing audio signals on an AVB network.
