At the heart of Meyer Sound’s EXP line of cinema products are the
Acheron™ high-performance screen channel loudspeakers. The
Acheron Studio is a compact version of the Acheron 80, making it
ideal for small theaters, re-recording stages, and postproduction
facilities. Optimized for installation behind perforated screens, the
two-way loudspeaker combines the advantages of self-powered
technology and innovative horn design to deliver exceptional,
precise coverage for the left, center, and right sound channels for
cinema. Offering the same 38 Hz to 17 kHz frequency response as
the Acheron 80, as well as a generous peak output with very low
distortion, the Acheron Studio stands up to the most demanding
of digital soundtracks, maintaining a wide dynamic range and full
fidelity.

Designed and manufactured at Meyer Sound’s headquarters
in Berkeley, California, the Acheron Studio’s drivers include one
15-inch low-frequency cone driver and one 4-inch high-frequency
diaphragm compression driver. Both drivers yield uncompromising
quality and full bandwidth, and are powered by sophisticated
onboard amplification. The proprietary Meyer Sound power
amplifier is a two-channel, class AB/bridged amplifier with
complementary MOSFET output stages that yields a total output
of 700 W. Built-in signal processing includes electronic crossover
and correction filters—to achieve a flat phase and frequency
response—along with driver protection circuitry. The self-powered
design not only ensures consistent results but also simplifies
installation in both new and existing rooms.

The Acheron Studio uses the same patented horn technology
originally developed for the Acheron 80. Designed specifically
for cinema use, the horn features a very soft roll-off outside its
extremely well-behaved 80° horizontal by 50° vertical coverage
pattern. The horn is fixed within the enclosure to ensure an accurate
acoustic crossover, phase response, and incredibly consistent
vertical pattern. The 580 Hz crossover point places most of the
dialog in the horn, which is ideal for cinema applications.

The optional RMS™ remote monitoring system provides
comprehensive monitoring of loudspeaker parameters from a
Mac® or Windows®-based computer running Compass® Control
Software.

Constructed of premium multi-ply birch, the Acheron Studio
enclosure is coated with a slightly textured black finish. An
optional version of the loudspeaker is available with side rigging
attachment points and the MYA-AST mounting yoke.
