Meyer Sound HMS-10 Cinema Surround Loudspeaker - 09.198.001.06

Product Overview

The Meyer Sound HMS-10 cinema surround loudspeaker is a self-powered surround channel system built for cinemas, high-end private theaters, screening rooms, and immersive surround applications. Designed to complement Meyer Sound Acheron screen channel loudspeakers, it delivers wide dynamic range, exceptional fidelity, and precise clarity through the most demanding digital soundtracks. A single 10-inch cone driver gives it greater output and low-frequency reach than the compact HMS-5. IntelligentDC power lets it run from an external DC supply over long cable runs without AC conduit.

Product Description

The HMS-10 pairs one 10-inch long-excursion cone driver with a 2-inch diaphragm compression driver in a premium multi-ply birch enclosure with a slightly textured black finish. An onboard two-channel amplifier integrates an active crossover, driver protection, and correction filters for flat phase and frequency response, while a constant-directivity horn maintains uniform 80-degree by 80-degree coverage. As an IntelligentDC loudspeaker, the HMS-10 receives 48 V DC power and balanced audio over a single composite Phoenix 5-pin connector from a Meyer Sound MPS external power supply, eliminating AC conduit to each cabinet. The acoustically transparent, detachable black cloth grille blends discreetly with theater decor. The HMS-10 sits between the compact HMS-5 and the larger HMS-12 and HMS-15 in the Meyer Sound surround range. Pair it with a Meyer Sound MPS IntelligentDC power supply to complete the surround system.
