Meyer Sound Beam SB-2 Parabolic Wide-Range Loudspeaker

Product Description

The Meyer Sound Beam SB-2 Parabolic Wide-Range Loudspeaker is a bi-amplified sound reinforcement loudspeaker housed in an octagonal enclosure with a parabolic dish front face. Capable of high sound pressure levels with precisely defined narrow coverage, the SB-2 offers a unique solution for large-scale distributed paging and music systems.

While distributed ceiling loudspeakers are often employed in an attempt to overcome reverberation and improve intelligibility, large venues pose problems of scale that conventional ceiling loudspeakers cannot effectively address. In applications where the ceiling height is 40 feet or more, a conventional distributed system lacks both the power to overcome air losses and the directionality to avoid combing and excessive reverberation.

The SB-2 provides a unique and effective solution to these problems. Featuring a tight 20-degree coverage pattern with high output capability, the SB-2 offers the ability to cover individual zones with highly intelligible, full-range sound while avoiding overlapping. A hybrid two-way system, the SB-2 uses a waveguide to achieve directionality at high frequencies and a parabolic array of cone drivers at mid-to-low frequencies. The result is tightly controlled coverage from 500 Hz to 16 kHz with low-frequency response extending down to 130 Hz.

The SB-2 is comprised of 28 4-inch cone drivers, a single 2-inch throat, 4-inch diaphragm compression driver, an integral complementary MOSFET power amplifier with 1240 W burst capability, and optimized signal processing circuitry. It features options for L6-20, IEC 309, or VEAM all-in-one AC connectors, as well as compatibility with Meyer Sound’s RMS remote monitoring system.
