Meyer Sound acheron designer screen channel loudspeaker ユーザーズマニュアル

The Acheron Designer combines advanced loudspeaker 
technology with equally advanced power capabilities. 
Understanding power distribution, voltage and current 
requirements, and electrical safety guidelines is critical to 
the safe operation of the Acheron Designer.

The Acheron Designer user panel includes 3-pole, Power-
Con AC connectors.

The blue AC Input connector supplies power to the 
Acheron Designer loudspeaker. The connector is rated at 
20 amps and uses a PowerCon3 AC mains locking connec-
tor that prevents accidental disconnections. A 10-foot AC 
power cable, rated at 15 amps, is included with each 
Acheron Designer. If you replace the included AC power 
cable, make sure to use a cable with the appropriate power 
plug (on the other end) for the region in which you will oper-
ate the unit.

The AC Input connector also supplies power to any addi-
tional loudspeakers connected to the Acheron Designer’s 
gray Loop Output connector. Each Acheron Designer loud-
speaker requires approximately 3.24 A rms maximum at 
115 V AC and 1.74 A rms maximum at 230 V AC for proper 
operation.

When using the included AC power 

cable, do not loop more than three additional 

Acheron Designers from the AC Loop Output con-
nector at 115 V (four total for the circuit), and not 
more than seven at 230 V (eight total for the circuit).

The gray AC Loop Output connector allows multiple 
Acheron Designers to be looped and powered from a single 
power source. Connect the AC Loop Output of the first 
Acheron Designer to the AC Input of the second unit, and so 
forth. The AC Loop Output uses a PowerCon3 AC mains lock-
ing connector that prevents accidental disconnections.

The maximum number of loudspeakers that can be looped 
from the Loop Output connector is determined by the volt-
age of the power source, the current draw of the looped 
loudspeakers, the circuit breaker rating, and the rating of the 
AC power cable connected to Acheron Designer.

The Acheron Designer current draw is 

dynamic and fluctuates as operating levels 

change. The numbers in Table 1 assume that operat-
ing levels are normal and not such that the loud-
speakers are constantly limiting.

Each Acheron Designer ships with one AC looping connec-
tor for making AC looping cables. Assembled AC looping 
cables are available from Meyer Sound.

Do not exceed the current capabil-

ity of the 20-amp Input connector for the 

Acheron Designer. When looping loudspeakers, con-
sider the total current draw for all loudspeakers on 
the circuit, including the first loudspeaker.
