Description
Combining precision sound quality with practical hardware and FBT’s characteristic Italian style, the Myra system comprises the 214L mid/high line array and the 218S subwoofer. Both are the result of extensive consultation with the industry’s leading tour sound companies and an extensive, three years R&D program. Designed without compromise, the Myra establishes a new reference for SPL to size ratio, directivity control, coherence, and ease of use.
Download Manual At the heart of the 214L line array element is a new coaxial 4-inch voice coil mid-frequency and 2.5-inch voice coil high-frequency driver combination developed in cooperation with B&C, and covering the 400Hz to 20kHz range. Combined output from the compression drivers is loaded by a proprietary short path waveguide that ensures low distortion and controlled broadband directivity. With extended frequency response down to 40Hz, which in most applications avoids the need for flown subwoofers, the 214L’s low frequency section employs uniquely sized B&C 14-inch high excursion drive units with 3-inch long excursion voice coils to maintain long throw projection of low frequencies with power and authority.
The cabinet construction typifies FBT’s signature ‘Made in Italy’ production philosophy. Completely fabricated in-house using premium Baltic birch and tour-ready weather-resistant polyurea coating, the 214L is built for a life on the road. Audio crews will appreciate the intuitive four-point integrated rigging system which allows up to 24 cabinets to be flown quickly and easily in any venue with splay angle from 0.25° to 8°.
An auto-locking internal mechanism makes it easy to set arrays at the desired inter-element angles using selector pins and securely lock all cabinets at the selected angle when lift-up.
The MYRA 214L is Bi-Amped through a NEUTRIK NL4M connectors, one channel for LF and one for the MID/HF with internal passive crossover. The lowest octave of the Myra system is seamlessly reproduced by the companion 218S, a reflex-loaded dual 18-inch subwoofer featuring custom-designed, very long excursion B&C drivers.
Combining accurate cabinet resonance study and ingenious port arrangement which is designed to reduce turbulence and eliminate non-linearity, MYRA 218S delivers substantial low frequency energy down to 25Hz, and can offer standard or cardioid directivity with suitable DSP preset and physical deployment. As with the 214L mid/high enclosure, the 218S cabinet benefits from premium Baltic plywood construction and, to ensure long term road-worthiness and all-weather resistance, is protected by a durable polyurea coating. A two-point rigging system is flush-mounted into the cabinet, allowing the suspension of up to 12 enclosures with a 4:1 safety factor. Trucking and handling are made easy by the eight comfortable, ergonomically placed rubber gripped aluminium bar handles, along with removable heavy-duty casters.
