Compact Lyon joins Meyer Sound's Leo family of loudspeaker systems

At Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2014, Amsterdam, Meyer Sound debuted the self-powered LYON linear sound reinforcement system, the newest addition to the Leo family of linear loudspeaker systems. Incorporating the technology of the Leo Family in a lighter and more compact package, Lyon extends the advantages of highly linear self-powered systems to a broader range of venues and applications. Lyon will also be highlighted at Prolight + Sound show 2014, Frankfurt, Hall 8F70. Being part of the Leo family, Lyon is also nominated for a Prolight + Sound International Press Award (PIPA) 2014. Winners will be announced during pl+s 2014.

“With the Leo system, we have shown how a system that stays linear across all frequencies and at very high sound levels can provide a whole new listening experience for everything from the New York Philharmonic to Bassnectar,” says John Meyer, Meyer Sound’s CEO and co-founder. “By combining this high level of linearity with a more flexible package, Lyon will open up many more opportunities for listeners to experience the performance advantages of a linear system.”
Lyon linear line array loudspeakers are available in two versions: the Lyon-M main line array loudspeaker and the Lyon-W wide-coverage line array loudspeaker. Complemented by the 1100-LFC low-frequency control element and the Galileo Callisto loudspeaker management system, the Lyon-M can anchor a powerful system for installations in arenas and large auditoriums, as well as tours and festivals. The Lyon-W can serve as down fills to augment a Lyon-based system. Both Lyon versions can be used to provide supplemental coverage in a LEO system.
At Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt, Meyer Sound will also show the recently announced Galileo Callisto 616 AES primary array processor, a powerful hardware and software solution for driving and aligning Meyer Sound loudspeaker array systems. Designed as a mastering tool for delivering digital audio, the Callisto processor combines versatile alignment tools like U-Shaping equalization and delay integration with a full suite of AES3 analog and digital inputs and outputs.
