LYON : Linear Array Loudspeaker
The self-powered LYON linear line array loudspeaker is a member of Meyer Sound’s LEO family of linear loudspeakers, designed to reproduce audio faithfully with tremendous power and clarity, without coloring the sound, even when pushed to the limit. LYON delivers the same headroom and precision as the acclaimed LEO-M with the same cutting-edge technology housed in a lighter and more compact cabinet.
Optimized rigging and self-powered configuration streamlines both setup and breakdown for LYON systems. LYON is ideal for medium- to large-scale array applications that do not require the extreme long-throw capability of LEO-M.
For greater flexibility, LYON is available in three models: LYON-M for primary array coverage, LYON-W for wide coverage, and LYON-WXT for wide coverage with extended vertical coverage. Use LYON-W in LYON arrays when applications require wide coverage, such as at the bottom or in the middle of primary arrays, or even at the top of outfill arrays. Use LYON-WXT when applications require wide coverage with greater vertical dispersion, such as at the bottom of extremely curved arrays or with installations that cannot use frontfill loudspeakers. Because LYON-W and LYON-WXT match the acoustical characteristics of LYON-M, transitions for horizontal coverage are seamless.
Pair LYON arrays with Meyer Sound’s 1100-LFC low-frequency control element for bass reproduction. Drive entire systems with Meyer Sound’s Galileo GALAXY Network Platform, which provides 24 bit, 96 kHz audio, matrix routing, alignment, and processing for array components. By using the GALAXY Network Platform delay integration settings, it is possible to acoustically match all LYON models to LEO-M. With this approach, designers can use any LYON model for downfill and midfill at the bottom of LEO-M arrays, and as supplemental sidefill and outfill arrays in LEO-M systems.
To guarantee optimum system performance, including coverage patterns and linear peak SPL, design LYON systems with Meyer Sound’s MAPP System Design Tool. This useful tool also helps verify rigging load ratings. LYON’s high-frequency section comprises two proprietary compression drivers coupled to a constant-directivity horn through a patented REM manifold. The manifold’s smooth radiating characteristics afford tight vertical coverage. The low-frequency section includes two long-excursion cone drivers, also proprietary, capable of withstanding high continuous output levels. Precise phase and magnitude alignment between lowand high-frequency drivers yields consistent and well-behaved system responses.
The unit’s onboard power amplifier operates at nominal voltages from 85–134 V AC and 165–264 V AC at 50–60 Hz. TruPower limiting ensures maximum driver protection, minimizing power compression while yielding high constant output under high continuous and peak power conditions. A single, field-replaceable module located on the rear of the cabinet houses the amplifier, control electronics, and power supply.
Meyer Sound’s RMS remote monitoring system module comes standard with all LYON loudspeakers and provides comprehensive monitoring of system parameters on a Mac or Windows-based computer. Convenient XLR 5-pin connectors allow the use of composite cables carrying both RMS and balanced audio. XLR 3-pin audio connectors are also available.
LYON offers intuitive rigging with captive GuideALinks that users can set to the desired splay angles while cabinets rest in caster frames. A range of available rigging accessories make LYON a versatile solution for a variety of applications.
Meyer Sound constructs the LYON cabinet of premium multi-ply birch and coats it with a slightly textured black finish. A powder-coated, hex-stamped steel grille with acoustical black mesh protects the unit’s drivers. Other options include weather protection and custom color finishes for fixed installations and applications with specific cosmetic requirements.

1100-LFC : Low-Frequency Control Element
The 1100‑LFC low-frequency control element is a self-powered loudspeaker defined by its sonic linearity in reproducing lowfrequency transients at high continuous output levels with very low distortion. This ultra-low distortion, coupled with exceptional headroom and optimized rigging options, makes the 1100‑LFC a flexible tool for low-end directional applications for large-scale tours and installations.To guarantee optimum performance, design 1100‑LFC systems with Meyer Sound’s MAPP system design tool. This intuitive, cross-platform application accurately predicts directional patterns, frequency and impulse responses, and linear peak SPL for 1100‑LFC systems, ensuring that systems deliver the required coverage and SPL.
An optimally tuned, vented cabinet houses the 1100‑LFC’s two 18-inch, long-excursion cone drivers. The loudspeaker’s 28 Hz to 100 Hz operating frequency range complements LEO, LEOPARD, LYON, JM‑1P, and other Meyer Sound loudspeakers, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with line arrays and curvilinear arrays.
The unit’s power amplifier operates at voltages from 208 to 235 V AC, at 50/60 Hz. TruPower limiting ensures maximum driver protection, minimizing power compression while yielding high constant output under high continuous and peak power conditions. A single, field-replaceable module located on the rear of the cabinet contains the amplifier, control electronics, and power supply.
The 1100-LFC cabinet includes protective plastic skids on the bottom that securely align with the cabinet’s top slots. Units are stackable normally or reversed for cardioid configurations. Meyer Sound tunes and vents the cabinet to specifically optimize it for low air velocities.
The optional MRK‑1100 rigging kit, available as a factory-installed option or field upgrade, includes captive GuideALinks that allow the loudspeaker to be flown from the MTG‑1100 top grid. Convenient pinned handles and slots make the GuideALinks, located at the front and rear of the cabinet, easy to set. The GuideALinks also accommodate reversed units for flown cardioid arrays.
Suspend line arrays comprising up to 16 cabinets at a 5:1 safety factor and BGC V1 from the optional MTG‑1100 top grid. For touring and portable systems, the optional MCF‑1100 caster frame accommodates three-cabinet stacking of the 1100-LFC for secure travel. Optionally available durable nylon covers, accommodating stacks of two or three 1100-LFCs, ensure complete road-readiness.
Meyer Sound’s RMS remote monitoring system comes standard with all 1100‑LFCs and provides comprehensive monitoring of system parameters from a host computer running Compass® control software via the RMS interface. Convenient 5-pin XLR connectors allow the use of composite cables carrying both balanced audio and RMS signals (3-pin XLR audio connectors are optionally available).
