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

Features

Features and Benefits

  • Exceptional fidelity and extended high-frequency performance

  • Constant-directivity horn yields uniform response throughout coverage area

  • Seamless integration with Acheron screen channel loudspeakers and X-800C and X-400C cinema subwoofers

  • Extraordinarily flat amplitude and phase response for tonal accuracy

  • IntelligentDC power affords the flexibility of lengthy cable runs to the HMS-5, HMS-10, HMS-12, and HMS-15 without conduits

  • Optional mounting options provide multiple configurations for attachment to walls, ceilings, or hanging clamps
