Meyer Processor?
« on: December 09, 2022, 03:35:24 PM »

Does Meyer have a digital processor with speaker presets or publish base eq and xover settings like other speaker manufacturers?

The current generation of Meyer processing is the GALAXY processors. They contain "staring point" EQs which you can load but I tend not to use them as they are designed to be well behaved without further intervention. The GALAXY also offers Product Integration which is used to ensure matching broadband phase responses for different combinations. This is most critical when combining several models into an array (LEO/LYON or LYON/Leopard for example).

Every Meyer speaker from the past 20+ years has everything built in - EQ, crossover, delay, amplification.  Their processors are only meant to combine multiple speakers into arrays and systems.

With all due respect, the passive models don't.

If memory serves Meyer first started making their speakers powered in 1994, and they transitioned all of their models over the coming years. So if you have passive speaker it could be well over 20+ years old.

For their passive boxes they did make processors to use with power amplifiers. As far as I know they did not publish presets to use with 3rd party processing. And to be fair at this level of speaker, it is usually a fairly locked eco-system, so if you do not have the appropriate processing and amplification you have something else other than their speaker.

I would give them a call or look at the manual for the speaker you have, it probably states what is required in it.

The only recent passive model that comes to mind is the MM-4.

The MM4 (and a couple of other smaller models such as UP4XP, MM-10XP Sub, HMS-10, and UP4slim) are still "self-powered", but they have an external power supply.

Not that I've ever seen. The solution tried by the people I've come across when trying to run say UPA1s that they bought used without processors or needed to run more zones of than they had processors for was to reverse engineer the Meyer crossover settings with Smaart or similar measurements and build those characteristics into the DSP crossover dujour. Not something I'd recommend, just the last ditch effort to make the speakers work. It still means either faking the limiter settings ( since Meyers of that vintage had sense inputs on the crossovers to handle limiter thresholds ) or planning to never run the speakers close to maximum levels. All of this leaves out the 'shifting crossover frequency' functions if they ever really existed.

To clarify, any active Meyer speaker has the processing built-in?
