Instruction/ maintenance manual of the product CQTM Series Meyer Sound
Go to page of 16
Patents Pending The CQ ™ Series self-powered loudspeakers contain independent amplifier and control electronics for one 15” bass-reflex cone driver and one 4” diaphragm horn driver in a compact enclosure. This integrated design eliminates amplifier racks, simplifies setup and installation, an d improves durability and reliability.

4 AC Power The AC voltage operating ranges for the CQ Series are 85–134 V and 165–264 V, at 50 or 60 Hz. The CQ Series performs surge suppression for high voltage transients and can safely withstand voltages up to 275 VAC.
5 Safety Issues Pay close attention to these important electrical and safety issues. Use a power cord adapter to drive the CQ from a standard 3-prong outlet ( NEMA 5-15R; 125 V max). earth ground chassis ground The CQ requires a grounded outlet. Always use a grounding adapter when connecting to ungrounded outlets.
6 Limiting and Protection Circuitry TruPower Limiting ™ System Conventional limiters assume that the resistance of a speaker remains constant and set the limiting threshold by measuring voltage only.
7 Fans and Cooling System The CQ uses a forced-air cooling system with two fans to prevent the amplifiers from overheating. A variable- speed primary fan runs continuously with an inaudible operating noise of 22 dBA at 1 m at its slowest speed. The speed of the primary fan begins increasing when the temperature of the heatsinks reaches 4 2 ° C.
8 Complete Systems Speaker Placement and Polarity The cabinets in the following example configurations are in a close-proximity coplanar orientation, unless otherwise stated. Placing the mid-hi speaker more th a n 5 feet from the subwoofer may require setting th e speakers to opposite polarities to compensate for the propagation delay between them.
9 LD-1A with CQ and 650-P Activating the Lo Cut filter on the LD-1A for the Mid-H i output also eliminates the low frequency rise caused by the overlap between the CQ and 650-P.
10 V erifying Polarity Incorrect driver polarity impairs system performance and may damage the drivers. All Meyer Sound loudspeakers are shipped with the drivers in correct alignment.
11 Coverage Angles and Polar Plots Coverage Angles The coverage angles for the CQ Series over a wide frequency range are summarized in the following table: s e l g n A e g a r e v o C s e i r e S Q C .

14 Array Design Creating an effective array with the CQ requires a precise understanding of how to combine the coverage area and SPL of the individual speaker with those of adjacent speakers. Array design is a trade-off between increasing on-axis power and creating smooth transitions between the coverage areas of adjacent speakers.
15 • To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the loud- speaker from the AC mains before installing audio cable. Reconnect the power cord only after making all signal connections. • Connect the loudspeaker to a two-pole, three wire ground- ing mains receptacle.
