Staying ParamountLighting & Sound America – March 14, 2024The line arrays have been split into four zones to optimize the level and EQ for vertical coverage areas. “Right out of the gate, without tuning, I was impressed with the output of the system,” says Drew Johnson, assistant audio department head at Sound Image San Francisco. “Jason Blackwell [Paramount Theatre general manager] requested we play some Louis Armstrong, and it came through with crisp, clear musical tone. We have plenty of power to fill the room without hitting the amps hard. We have a lot of headroom, and the arrays achieve their high output without a lot of power draw.” Johnson returned to the theatre a couple of weeks later to work as monitor tech for a Lila Downs concert. “Everything sounded great for the show,” he recalls. “The front-of-house engineer was really happy, and the crowd was lit up. Personally, I was blown away by how well the cardioid subwoofers worked. I could stand right behind them, and still have a conversation.”

The Scientists Helping Musicians to Banish Stage Fright For EverThe Times – January 22, 2024The technology controlling the acoustics is just as advanced.

In 20 years, perhaps, every concert hall will have this level of reverberation flexibility, but right now this is pretty special.

"It can be a theater box, an arena box and it’s definitely a stadium box—we can attest to that.

Industry POV: Spatial Sound Is Transforming AttractionsSound & Communications – March 28, 2021Resident shows like Cirque du Soleil’s “Mystère,” “KÀ,” “O” and The Beatles’ “LOVE” created a completely new genre: the spectacle show. Las Vegas made it a point to create an attraction out of virtually any experience. System and sound designers, including Jonathan Deans (Cirque, Rio) and Alan Howarth (Fremont Street) helped these experiences push the envelope for what audiences would come to expect. Las Vegas became a family destination. Crowds became the norm. And we liked it that way. The more, the merrier!

Desert Rose: The National Museum of Qatar shines with immersive techInAVate EMEA – February 17, 2021Meyer Sound provided the loudspeakers for the project. Placement of the loudspeakers was also an issue says Idee und Klang company founder Ramon De Marco. “The architects were adamant that they did not want to see any speakers. They originally wanted speakers only on the ceiling, which, depending on the gallery, ranged from 4m to 20m high. Achieving any kind of directionality would have been pretty much impossible, and eventually we were able to lobby for locating some speakers at the bottom of the walls, where we had about 8cm of clearance. Meyer Sound had a compact speaker, the UP4slim, that we were able to implement in that limited space.”

Meyer Sound ULTRA-X20 Compact Wide Coverage LoudspeakerLighting & Sound America – December 23, 2020With this smaller sibling to the ULTRA-X40, Meyer Sound continues to expand its Ultra Series. Sometimes smaller is better. The ULTRA-X20 kind of looks like a big UPM (another mainstay of the Meyer Sound product line). Larger than the UPM but smaller than the UPJ-1P, it weighs in at 27 lb and is just under 7.5" wide, a bit more than 19" tall, and a little more than 8.5" deep.

Founders KeepersAV.Technology – November 5, 2020“One of the key reasons behind the decision is the Meyer’s use of low-voltage power. Meyer pioneered the use of powered loudspeakers in live sound. A Meyer PA would use one cable to run power and audio. But rather than running 240V cabling plus audio, which can give you some segregation issues and interference, they came up with a system where they run a 48V DC power rail and balanced audio down the same cable.”

Testing Out Meyer Sound’s Revolutionary Spacemap Go Spatial Sound ToolAV Technology – November 3, 2020I dropped by the company's [Meyer Sound] demo setup in a rehearsal room at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York.

Feeling Good: Michael Bublé LiveAudioTechnology – March 24, 2020The Solotech-sourced PA is entirely Meyer Sound and mostly [LEO Family] with some MICA. A 200+ box Meyer PA is always awesome to behold but the special sauce is in the use of a Meyer Spacemap beta that allows Craig to move Michael Bublé’s vocal image down the room when he ventures onto the catwalk to the B stage. The design introduces additional arrays that carry only the vocal and help localise Michael’s vocal when he’s on the B stage.

DBS Audio Systems’ Dave Brotman: Thriving In the Regional Sound Scene for a Quarter-CenturyLive Design – February 27, 2020"By ’94, I had stood in front of Meyer Sound rigs for so many years seeing the Dead, and I thought I could never really afford them, but I wanted to see if I could.

Listening In on the Newman Scoring StageMix – February 24, 2020Rarely would one of these handful of studios revisit the live room. Maybe a couple of tiny alterations over the past 80 years, but walls, floors and ceilings remain largely as they were in 1939. The control rooms, however, have undergone significant changes, getting larger, cleaner and more accurate over the years. Still, renovations are rare, sometimes spanning decades. So when Fox Studios decided to pull out the Genelec mains system from the late 1990s and replace it with Meyer Sound’s new Bluehorn Monitoring System in July 2019, it was considered a big deal for all parties involved.

Meyer Sound ULTRA-X40Production Partner – February 2, 2020 It is extremely pleasant when a product like Meyer Sound’s UPA has been on the market for 35 years in more or less unchanged form.
