About the Meyer Sound SB-1
The Meyer Sound SB-1 is a Parabolic Sound Beam loudspeaker system designed to deliver clear, high-SPL audio to precise audience locations at distances greater than 300 ft. It propagates sound waves that decrease as little as 3 dB SPL per doubling of distance across a five-octave frequency range, maintaining a consistent narrow beam width that minimises reverberation and interactions with neighbouring units. The integrated two-channel MP-2 amplifier delivers 1,240 W total (620 W per channel) and incorporates TruPower Limiting (TPL), which measures both current and voltage to compute instantaneous power dissipation for accurate speaker protection. The Intelligent AC power supply auto-selects operating voltage for international use, suppresses high-voltage transients, provides soft-start power-up and sustains operation during low-voltage periods. The SB-1 is also compatible with the Meyer Sound Remote Monitoring System (RMS). Its narrow coverage angle and high output make it well suited to large-capacity venues where delay towers would otherwise be required.
Meyer Sound SB-1 — buyer FAQs
What is the Meyer Sound SB-1 and what makes it different from a conventional loudspeaker?
The Meyer Sound SB-1 is a Parabolic Sound Beam loudspeaker system that propagates sound waves decreasing as little as 3 dB SPL per doubling of distance for more than 300 ft, across a five-octave frequency range. A conventional speaker typically loses 6 dB per distance doubling. The SB-1 maintains a consistent, narrow beam width that minimises reverberation and reduces interaction between neighbouring units, making it distinct from standard line array or point-source designs.
Who makes the SB-1 and where does it fit in their product range?
The SB-1 is made by Meyer Sound Laboratories, an American professional audio company founded by John and Helen Meyer and based in Berkeley, California. Meyer Sound is known for self-powered loudspeakers, line arrays and fixed-installation systems. The SB-1 sits in the specialised fixed-installation segment of the range, addressing large-venue scenarios where conventional speaker placement or delay towers would otherwise be required to reach distant seating areas.
What kind of venues is the used Meyer Sound SB-1 suited to?
The SB-1 is designed for large-capacity indoor venues where clear, high-SPL audio must reach precise audience locations at distances exceeding 300 ft without the aid of delay towers. Its narrow coverage angle limits reverberation and minimises interaction with neighbouring units, and it is noted to create a sense of proximity to the stage for listeners seated far from the source. It debuted in a Japanese installation with a 40,000-person capacity.
What amplification and power management does the SB-1 include?
The SB-1 integrates a two-channel MP-2 amplifier delivering 1,240 W total (620 W per channel) alongside TruPower Limiting (TPL), which measures both current and voltage to compute instantaneous power dissipation for speaker protection. The Intelligent AC power supply auto-selects the correct operating voltage for international use, suppresses high-voltage transients, provides a soft-start power-up and sustains operation during low-voltage periods. The unit is also compatible with the Meyer Sound Remote Monitoring System (RMS).
What should I check when buying a second-hand Meyer Sound SB-1?
Confirm the integrated amplifier powers up correctly and that both channels operate at full output, as servicing self-powered systems can be costly. Check whether the Intelligent AC supply and TPL functions are operational and ask whether the unit has been used in a fixed installation or touring context, since this affects wear. Remote Monitoring System (RMS) compatibility is worth verifying if you intend to use it.
