The Full Intensity and Nuance of Cinema Surround Sound
Complementing Acheron
Designed to complement Meyer Sound’s Acheron screen channel loudspeakers, the self-powered HMS maintains a wide dynamic range, exceptional fidelity, and precise clarity during the most demanding of digital soundtracks. It is available in four models: HMS-5, HMS-10, HMS-12, and HMS-15, ranging in size, weight, driver size, and power to accommodate a wide range of venues and applications.
The Intelligence of IntelligentDC
Equipped with IntelligentDC technology and receiving DC power and balanced audio from composite Phoenix 5-pin connectors, all except the HMS-15AC are powered from an external DC source, eliminating the need for AC conduits while preserving the advantages of self-powered systems.
Tonal Accuracy for Cinemas
Optimized for use in cinemas, high-end private theatres, screening rooms, and other surround applications, the self-powered, full-range HMS line exhibits extraordinarily flat amplitude and phase responses for tonal accuracy
