NEWS Meyer Sound Debuts LYON
ADDINGTO its LEO family of linear loudspeaker systems Meyer Sound has unveiled its new self-powered LYON linear sound reinforcement system. 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 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 ISE, Meyer Sound also showed the
recently announced Galileo Callisto 616 AES primary array processor, a powerful hardware and software solution for driving and aligning

New Yamaha Consoles
YAMAHA LAUNCHED its new generation of MG series compact mixing consoles in Europe at ISE. The 10-strong line-up features models with 6, 10, 12, 16, or 20 inputs, all featuring Yamaha’s discrete Class A D-PRE microphone preamps. Utilising an inverted Darlington circuit topography, the preamps feature multiple circuitry elements designed to deliver more power with lower impedance. As well as the standard
versions, the MG10, MG12, MG16, and MG20 all have a counterpart XU model. These feature an upgraded version of Yamaha’s SPX effects processor, with a comprehensive suite of 24 different effects (upgraded from 16 in the previous MG series), as well as a USB 2.0 audio interface capable of 24-bit/192kHz sound quality. This allows playback of digital content from a PC, recording of the mixer output using DAW software (Steinberg’s Cubase AI software is included), and use with USB Audio Class 2.0-compliant tablets and other devices without installing drivers. The ultra-compact MG06, meanwhile, has an X
counterpart model, which adds six choices of SPX reverb and delay, the amount variable by a rotary control.
