Meyer Sound X-1100C High‐Power Cinema Subwoofer - 09.313.001.02
Product Overview
The Meyer Sound X-1100C is a self-powered high-power cinema subwoofer designed to add low-frequency output in medium- to large-scale motion picture theaters and space-limited venues. Built around two 18-inch long-excursion drivers and an 8,100 W peak amplifier, this commercial cinema subwoofer reproduces low-frequency transients at high continuous output with very low distortion across a 28 Hz to 180 Hz range. As a self-powered cinema subwoofer with onboard RMS monitoring, the X-1100C integrates with Meyer Sound screen channel and surround loudspeakers without external amplifier racks, simplifying installation in cinema and post-production environments.
Product Description
An optimally tuned, vented multi-ply birch cabinet houses the X-1100C's two 18-inch long-excursion cone drivers, while TruPower limiting protects the drivers and minimizes power compression under sustained high-output conditions. The 28 Hz to 180 Hz operating range complements Meyer Sound cinema loudspeakers such as the Acheron screen channels and HMS surrounds, and for full SMPTE-compliant subsonic extension the X-1100C pairs with the VLFC Very Low Frequency Control Element. The field-replaceable amplifier and control module, standard RMS remote monitoring, and stackable cabinet design make this high-power cinema subwoofer a practical choice for theaters with limited real estate. It is well suited to systems built around the ASTRYA-140 cinema screen channel, and additional cinema loudspeakers are available in the Meyer Sound collection.
Key Features
- Self-powered, 8,100 W peak amplifier — Two-channel Class AB/H MOSFET amplification removes the need for external cinema amplifier racks.
- Dual 18-inch long-excursion drivers — Deliver 140 dB linear peak SPL with low-frequency clarity and excellent transient response.
- TruPower limiting — Protects drivers and minimizes power compression under high continuous and peak output.
- 28–180 Hz operating range — Integrates with Meyer Sound Acheron, HMS, and ASTRYA cinema loudspeakers.
- RMS remote monitoring standard — Reports amplifier and driver parameters to Compass software via the RMServer interface.
- Stackable, space-efficient cabinet — Protective skids and an optional caster frame support three-cabinet stacking for venues with limited footprint.
- Field-replaceable amplifier module — A single rear module contains the amplifier, control electronics, and power supply for serviceability.
Typical Applications
- Auditorium — Adds high-output low frequency to medium- and large-scale cinema and presentation auditoriums.
- Multi-purpose room — Suits premium screening rooms and event theaters needing cinema-grade bass.
- Broadcast studio — Provides reference low-frequency reproduction for post-production and dubbing stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the X-1100C need an external amplifier?
No. It is self-powered, with a two-channel Class AB/H amplifier, control electronics, and RMS monitoring in a field-replaceable rear module. It requires AC power (208–235 V AC via PowerCon 32) and a balanced audio feed.
What does it connect to for audio?
The X-1100C uses a balanced XLR 3-pin female input with a male loop output, accepting a nominal 0 dBV signal. It is typically driven and aligned through a Galileo GALAXY processor in a Meyer Sound cinema system.
How do I extend output below 28 Hz?
Pair the X-1100C with the Meyer Sound VLFC, which covers 13–30 Hz, to achieve full SMPTE-compliant subsonic reproduction in premium cinema rooms.
Can multiple units be deployed in tight spaces?
Yes. The cabinet is stackable, and an optional MCF-1100 caster frame supports moving up to three X-1100C cabinets, making it practical for venues with limited floor area.
What warranty and support are available?
The X-1100C is covered under Meyer Sound's standard product warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty terms and commercial cinema system design support.
