Brand: Meyer Sound
#14 Meyer Sound Ultra X40: $5,600 eBay
Same family: the Meyer Sound Ultra X20 (smaller model, rated 3.6/5), the Meyer Sound Ultra X22 (smaller model, rated 3.9/5), the Meyer Sound Ultra X23 (smaller model, rated 3.3/5) and the Meyer Sound Ultra X80 (larger model, estimated 3.9/5).
Pros: A powered PA speaker with two 8 inch woofers, wide even coverage and networked processing, easy to fly or pole mount. Bass reaches 65Hz at -3dB and about 57Hz at -10dB, deep for a pair of 8-inch woofers, and manufacturer measurements give a 5.43 preference score with an ideal subwoofer. The concentric 3-inch compression driver and 110° x 50° Constant-Q horn give wide, even coverage, and the built-in 1,950W peak amplifier reaches 127dB. Networked Galileo processing and a sub-25kg weight make it easy to fly or pole-mount. Measured bass extension of 65Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The 3.8dB reference band and 0.66 listening-window deviation make its tonal balance rougher than the Meyer Sound Ultra X20’s, with a 2.73 standalone score. It is sold through pro dealers with no published price, and Sweetwater requires a sales engineer to order it.
