INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER AND PROCESSING

A self-powered loudspeaker, the Amie-Sub cabinet houses 
an open-loop class D amplifier. The audio signal is 
processed with electronic crossover, correction filters for 
flat frequency and phase responses, and by driver 
protection circuitry. The built-in crossover accepts full-range 
signals which enables daisy-chain signal distribution and 
eliminates the need for external crossovers in smaller 
systems. The amplifier/processing package incorporates 
Meyer Sound’s Intelligent AC™ which auto-selects the 
correct operating voltage, suppresses high voltage 
transients, filters EMI and provides soft-start power

up. 

The Amie-Sub cabinet comes standard with audio XLR and 
powerCON 20 input and looping output connectors. 

The optional 2.1 integration module features 2 input 
channels using XLR connectors, while the optional 7.1 
module features industry standard multi-pin DB-25 and can 
be used in 5.1 or 7.1 configurations with third-party, 
high

quality, 8-channel DB-25 to XLR cables.

The integration modules feature bass management 
processing as well as a dedicated phase-matched .1 input 
for the LFE channel with sele10 dB boost to meet a 
variety of standards.

The Amie-Sub loudspeaker’s on-board amplifier is 
convection cooled.

NOTE: 

Complete acoustical, electrical and 

physical specifications are covered in 

Appendix A on page 27.

INTEGRATED RIGGING POINTS

Meyer Sound constructs the Amie-Sub cabinet from 
premium birch plywood coated with a durable, slightly 
textured finish and includes a stamped-steel grille to protect 
the drivers. A grille frame with black cloth that mounts on 
top of the steel grille is optionally available (Figure 2).

The Amie-Sub comes standard with two 3/8-inch
