About the Meyer Sound PSW-6
The Meyer Sound PSW-6 is a self-powered cardioid subwoofer and the first subwoofer to achieve a true cardioid coverage pattern throughout its entire operating range, covering more than two full octaves from 30 Hz to 125 Hz. Its front-to-back SPL ratio exceeds 15 dB and typically surpasses 20 dB, with symmetrical horizontal and vertical coverage patterns ensuring consistent SPL and frequency response throughout the coverage area. Integrated control electronics and amplifiers are built in, and the PSW-6 features Meyer Sound's Intelligent ACT System, TruPower Limiting, and compatibility with the Remote Monitoring System. The tight response pattern steers low frequencies away from the rear of the cabinet, reducing reverberant noise in large-scale arrays and allowing placement close to walls without the boundary issues common to conventional subwoofers.
Meyer Sound PSW-6 — buyer FAQs
What is the Meyer Sound PSW-6 and what makes it distinctive as a subwoofer?
The Meyer Sound PSW-6 is a self-powered cardioid subwoofer and the first subwoofer to achieve a true cardioid coverage pattern across its entire operating range. It covers more than two full octaves, from 30 Hz to 125 Hz, delivering a front-to-back SPL ratio of over 15 dB and typically more than 20 dB. Symmetrical horizontal and vertical coverage patterns ensure consistent SPL and frequency response throughout the coverage area.
How does the PSW-6's cardioid pattern benefit placement in real-world installations?
The tight response pattern of the PSW-6 steers low frequencies away from the rear of the cabinet, reducing the reverberant noise common with large-scale full-range speaker arrays. It also allows the cabinet to be placed close to walls without the boundary problems that typically affect conventional subwoofers, giving system designers more flexibility in positioning.
What electronics and control features are built into the PSW-6?
The PSW-6 integrates control electronics and amplifiers within the cabinet, so no separate amplifier is required. It includes Meyer Sound's Intelligent ACT System and TruPower Limiting, and is compatible with the Meyer Sound Remote Monitoring System, allowing operators to monitor the unit remotely as part of a larger system.
Who makes the PSW-6 and where does it fit in their product range?
The PSW-6 is made by Meyer Sound Laboratories, an American professional audio company founded in 1979 and based in Berkeley, California. The brand is known for self-powered loudspeakers, subwoofers and line arrays used in sound reinforcement and fixed installation. The PSW-6 sits within Meyer Sound's subwoofer range as a cardioid model, notable for achieving directional low-frequency control that the company describes as an industry first.
What should I look for when buying a used Meyer Sound PSW-6?
When evaluating a second-hand PSW-6, check that the integrated amplifier and control electronics are fully functional, that the cardioid pattern performs correctly across the operating range, and that the Remote Monitoring System compatibility is intact. Confirm the cabinet and driver show no damage that could affect the boundary-condition performance the design relies on.
