Meyer Sound innovate in Line Array of large -scale technology with Panther

The new Line Array Panther speaker Meyer Sound is designed to respond to large -scale tours installation environments, with a compact size, light, Powerful and energetically efficient.

In a market with increasingly complex productions with high visual potential, along with stricter security regulations, that often limit the space and weight allowed for speakers, while environmental policies require greater energy efficiency and a lower footprint in transportation, Meyer Sound Respond with its new Line Array speaker Panther.

The acoustic power of this system is closer to the characteristics of Meyer Sound's line array LEO, bigger and heavy, But in the most compact format of the model Lyon, Also of the manufacturer's line array range. With great performance, Panther pesa solo 68 Kg. and offers substantial savings of energy consumption with respect to the speakers of the previous range.

Meyer Sound Panther has a network input module Analog/Milan AVB, With flexible signal distribution options and each box has standard IP-55 classification.

"This is our most important speakers presentation in more than a decade," says John Meyer, President and CEO of Meyer Sound- Panther promotes my commitment to manufacture speakers with linear response, Predictible coverage and wide margin of maneuver for dynamic reproduction and without compressing the musical signal, especially in transient peaks ".

Designed to offer maximum power

Panther's electronic module has a new design that incorporates a Class-D amplifier of four channels, coupled to an innovative innovative food source. With advanced correction of the power factor and larger voltage rails, This system provides greater peak current to the speakers, With a stable load to the CA line.

Panther also has new low frequency cones, 12 ”and longer excursion, as well as with an understanding engine of 3 ". Each incorporates advanced magnetic structures that use new materials for a higher flow density, Despite the substantial weight reduction.

Combined with a new design of puerto LF, The result is a maximum output of 150 db SPL, 2 dB superior al Lyon y 3 DB of difference with respect to the Leo box, which is much bigger and heavy.

Without compromising performance, The Panther engineering team, led by Katie Murphy, Engineering Manager and the Altavoces Development Program, a unified approach followed to significantly reduce weight

“With Panther we create a complete design approach to the system,” explains Murphy -. We had electronic and mechanical engineers working in a coordinated effort, Which means that we could take advantage of the reduction of amplifier weight with new designs and materials of the box to achieve our goals ”.

Reducing equipment weight supposes that they can fly with a single plus Panther speakers, and the largest sets can share the same rigging and suspension points, Next to a wide video and lighting equipment.

Besides, larger and long arrangements can fly, while complying with new safety standards related to weather events. Shipping costs are also considerably reduced, especially when air transport is required, In addition to contributing to the decrease in CO2 emissions.

Three models for accurate coverage

The Panther family consists of three boxes with different horizontal coverage. The models Panther M y W have 95 y 110º, respectively, And they will be more family options for those who currently work with Meyer Sound.

Panther L It has a new long shooting speaker, with a perfectly defined 80º horizontal pattern. Three options that allow system designers to customize coverage in any space, With a precise and uniform response from the front back and with the deployment of less arrangements (or shorter) In some applications.

Like the rest of the manufacturer's speakers, Panther offers the longevity of service that is given by the optimal adaptation of speakers, amplifiers and processing of their self -assessd systems. Besides, offers new features that guarantee a greater return to long -term investment:

Milan Avb Standard Certificate: By incorporating the new Milan input module, certified by the Alianza woven, Panther becomes the first line -lin line array Milan certificate, What is widely widely based on this module to the speaker box, while the parallel analog input, Always active, guarantees compatibility with existing hardware.

Weathering standard: Panther complies with the new IEC IP55 standard, With full rain protection when serial signal connectors are used Top neutric y Powercon, so that it does not require protective cover.

Panther boxes can be used for interior and exterior events without the need for special preparations. The same inventory can be assigned to a wide range of applications, From theaters and conventions rooms to stadiums and festivals.

This greater flexibility assumes that Panther systems spend less time in the warehouse and more time generating income. In the case of tours, A adjusted truck fleet, Without amplifiers racks, further reduces transport expenses for a better return on investment.

In this sense, Panther will enter production and will be sent in this February to the rental company Major Tom, headquarters in the United Kingdom, For the tour of Ed Sheeran.

"Everyone in the team really joined and put their hearts in this project," Katie Murphy recalls, ". We did everything possible to create a speaker that defined the technology of the Line Array systems for the coming years ”.

John Meyer adds that “Panther is more than a new product, We see it as something that adds a new dimension to what we do as a company. You have the potential to change the path we are touring in the audio industry. I am anxious to see how industry professionals and, What is more important, The public, respond to it ".
