Meyer Sound’s LEO Family Grows with LINA and 750-LFC
Meyer Sound‘s LEO family of linear sound reinforcement systems has been expanded with the addition of the new LINA, a compact linear line array loudspeaker and companion 750-LFC, a compact low frequency control element.
The self-powered LINA loudspeaker measures only 20.27 inches (515 mm) wide and weighs in at 43 lbs. (19.5 kg). Also, because LINA shares the same structural footprint as Meyer Sound’s current MINA line array loudspeakers, owners of MINA systems can add LINA to their existing inventory using the same rigging and mounting hardware. Mixed systems of MINA and LINA are compatible using the delay integration in Compass control software.
Meyer Sound says that on the inside, LINA has been outfitted with new drivers and an updated amplifier and signal processing package to conform with the LEO. Compared to MINA, the newly designed class D amplifier affords greater efficiency, and an upgraded power supply enables higher peak output. The 3-inch HF compression driver incorporates a new magnet structure first used in the LEOPARD line array loudspeaker (LINA’s next-larger sibling) for reduced distortion. Low-frequency distortion from the dual 6.5-inch woofers is further reduced compared to MINA, aided by new internal venting and baffling to optimize performance. On-board signal processing has been upgraded for more power, and it now includes optimized Native Mode.
In most applications, LINA compact line array loudspeakers will be integrated with the companion 750-LFC low-frequency control element for extending deep bass performance across its operating frequency range of 36 Hz to 125 Hz. The 750-LFC houses a 15-inch, dual voice coil long excursion driver along with a two channel, open loop class D amplifier and signal processing to provide separate, precisely synchronized power to each voice coil. Like its larger siblings, the 900-LFC and 1100-LFC, the 750-LFC reproduces low frequencies at high continuous levels with clarity, extremely low distortion, and optimized phase response. An integral pole mount receptacle pairs with LINA or ULTRASeries loudspeakers, while an optional rigging frame allows flying in LINA arrays without a transition grid.
LINA compact linear line array loudspeakers and 750-LFC low-frequency control elements are expected to ship June and here are all the specs.
