HMS-10 loudspeaker systems require an MPS-488P exter-
nal power supply. The single-space 19-inch rack unit
receives balanced audio from its XLR female inputs and
routes the audio, along with 48 V of DC power, to its channel
outputs. The outputs — equipped with Phoenix 5-pin male
connectors — can deliver DC power to up to four HMS-10
loudspeakers at cable lengths of up to 150 feet with just
1 dB of loss in peak SPL using 18 AWG wire. The use of
composite multiconductor cables (such as Belden
®
1502)
allows a single cable to carry both DC power and balanced
audio to the HMS-10. Longer cable runs are possible for
moderate applications that don't drive the loudspeakers to
maximum output, or for installations with heavier wire
gauges.
NOTE: The MPS-488
P was originally designed
for use with the MM-4XP miniature loud-
speaker. While the MPS-488
P can power up to eight
MM-4XPs, it can only power up to four HMS-10s
(because of the HMS-10’s additional current draw).
Meyer Sound's industry standard self-powered loudspeaker
technology not only delivers unparalleled and consistent
audio fidelity but also simplifies installation, whether design-
ing a new room from scratch or adding surround channels to
an existing setup.
The HMS-10's compact size, textured finish, and black cloth
grille blend smartly with any theater decor. The HMS-10
comes standard with a fixed bracket; an adjustable bracket
is also available for wall mounting the HMS-10 with downtilt
or uptilt.
