DATASHEET CINE-STUDIO
HMS
The HMS cinema surround loudspeaker is optimized
for use in cinemas, high-end private theatres,
screening rooms, and other surround applications.
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. Boasting a wide
frequency range and a generous linear peak SPL
with very low distortion, the HMS delivers the full
intensity and nuance of cinema surround channels
to every listener without compromise.
The HMS cinema surround loudspeaker is available
in five models: HMS-5, HMS-10, HMS-12, HMS-15,
and HMS-15AC, ranging in size, weight, driver size,
and power to accommodate a wide range of venues
and applications. The proprietary long-excursion
cone drivers and diaphragm compression drivers
are driven by an onboard amplifier that includes
an active crossover, driver protection circuitry,
and correction filters for flat phase and frequency
response. A constant-directivity horn provides
uniform, full-range, consistent coverage.
The HMS-5, HMS-10, HMS-12, and HMS-15 are
equipped with IntelligentDC technology and

composite Phoenix™ 5-pin connectors. Powering
the loudspeakers from an external DC source

turn-on, and surge suppression. The HMS-15AC
is optionally available with its own onboard
RMS™ remote monitoring system module for
comprehensive monitoring of loudspeaker
parameters from a Mac or Windows-based
computer.
The versatile HMS can be suspended or mounted
on walls or ceilings at fixed or adjustable angles
with optional half-yoke, U-bracket, or wallmount brackets, allowing it to be deployed per
the requirements of any surround application or
immersive cinema format.
Meyer Sound’s industry-leading self-powered
technology not only delivers unparalleled and
consistent audio fidelity but also simplifies
installation, whether designing new rooms from
scratch or adding surround channels to existing
installations. The HMS cabinet features a black
textured finish and an acoustically transparent,
detachable, black cloth grille that blend smartly
with any theatre decor.
preserving the advantages of self-powered
systems. IntelligentDC loudspeakers require
an MPS-488HP external power supply. The
single-space 19-inch rack unit distributes
DC power and balanced audio to up to eight
HMS-5, HMS-10, or HMS-12 loudspeakers,
or up to four HMS-15 loudspeakers.
Composite multiconductor cables, such as
®
Belden
1502 or equivalent, can deliver
both DC power and balanced audio to
loudspeakers at cable lengths up to 150 feet
with just 1 dB of loss in peak SPL using
18 AWG wire. Longer cable runs are possible
with heavier gauges. The MPS-488HP is
optionally available with an RMS™ remote
monitoring system module for monitoring
voltage and current draw for its attached
loudspeakers from a Mac
based computer.
The HMS-15AC is an AC-powered version
of the HMS-15. Its Intelligent AC™ power
supply provides automatic voltage
selection, EMI filtering, soft current
