Meyer Sound has announced 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, more compact package, the LYON loudspeaker system extends the advantages of highly linear self-powered systems to a broader range of venues and applications. LYON will debut at the Feb., 2014 ISE trade show in Amsterdam. Shown here (L-to-R) is the LYON development team: Pablo Espinosa, chief loudspeaker designer & VP of R&D; John Meyer; and product manager Luke Jenks.
“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 is available in two versions: the LYON-M main loudspeaker and the LYON-W wide-coverage loudspeaker. Complemented by the 1100-LFC low-frequency control element and the Galileo Callisto loudspeaker management system, the LYON-M main loudspeaker 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 ISE, 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.
