Meyer Sound co-founders John and Helen Meyer will celebrate two anniversaries –
the 50th of their first meeting and the 20th of Meyer Sound Mexico – when they
attend sound:check Xpo in Mexico City. In addition to the dual commemorations,
Meyer Sound’s presence at the show will include the Western Hemisphere
introduction to the LINA™ very compact linear line array system as well as a
keynote presentation by John Meyer at the co-located AES Mexico Annual
Conference.
The Meyers’ visit to Mexico City continues a “Sonic Love Story” theme, introduced in
Amsterdam during the ISE show, that commemorates the couple’s first meeting in
1967 – the San Francisco Bay Area’s iconic “Summer of Love.” The Meyers will be
meeting informally with customers on Monday and Tuesday, April 24 and 25 in the
Huichol demo room.
This year also marks two decades since Scott Gledhill, now Meyer Sound’s Director
of International Sales, established Meyer Sound Mexico to provide a direct
connection between the parent company and the rapidly growing Mexican market.
The new subsidiary gained a reputation for offering the highest level of service,
technical support and customer education of any pro audio supplier in Mexico.
Demonstrating its continuing commitment, Meyer Sound has been a prominent
exhibitor at every sound:check Xpo since it was launched 15 years ago.
Making its debut in the Americas will be Meyer Sound’s new LINA very compact
linear line array system, the smallest and lightest member of the expanding LEO®
Family. LINA brings the inherent linearity and exemplary power-to-weight ratio of
the LEO Family to a wide range of applications where discreet appearance, flexible
rigging options and minimal hang weight are critical. The complementary 750-LFC
low-frequency control unit extends response to 36 Hz while providing options for
pole-mount, flown and ground stacked combined systems.
Also featured will be the Galileo® GALAXY™ network platform, the first loudspeaker
processor of its kind to receive AVnu Alliance certification for interoperability using
the AVB/TSN networking protocols. Building on the proven Galileo platform, GALAXY
provides upgraded audio performance using the newest FPGA technology along with
powerful new features like a delay matrix, word clock input, and easy integration
with Crestron controllers.
Additionally, Meyer Sound’s distributor for Mexico, Showco, will display an
extensive range of products in Olmeca II, including a complete LEOPARD™ compact
linear line array system with 900-LFC low-frequency control units, LEO line array
loudspeakers and LYON™ linear line array loudspeakers, MJF-208 and 210 stage
monitors, and a GALAXY networking platform.
For the Soundgirls in Mexico (Sala de Prensa), Meyer Sound is providing a complete
cinema sound system with Acheron® Designer screen channel loudspeakers, HMS-
10 and HMS-12 surround loudspeakers, and X-800C high-power cinema subwoofers
and X-400C cinema subwoofers.
John Meyer will address the co-located Audio Engineering Society (AES) Mexico
Annual Conference on Monday, April 24, at 6:00 pm. In his keynote presentation,
entitled “Fact or Science Fiction?” Meyer will discuss the science behind linear audio
response, steering line arrays, and time distortion in the digital and analogue
domains.
