Also in focus will be the Leopard linear sound reinforcement system's Native Mode, a timesaving advancement that "delivers great sound right out of the box, regardless of the array size".
The self-powered MJF-208 stage monitor incorporates the performance and reliability of the MJF-212A and the MJF-210 into a smaller, lightweight package. Each MJF-208 measures less than 13 inches high and weighs 45 pounds. The monitor delivers impressive power-to-size ratio and very low distortion in a small-footprint, lightweight option for applications that do not demand the extreme output levels of the MJF-210 or the MJF-212A.
"The MJF-208 brings the well-known intelligibility and power of Meyer Sound's stage monitors to applications where a small footprint and low profile are critical," says Luke Jenks, Meyer Sound's director of product management. "With a self-powered stage monitor, the amp package is always the same. The MJF-208 offers a performance consistency that passive monitors just can't guarantee."
Portability and ease of use for the MJF-208 are enhanced by the convenient and reliable MDM-832 distribution module, which can route up to eight channels of AC power, balanced audio, and RMS monitoring data to multiple stage monitors.
The MDM-5000 is a rack-mount unit for quick connection and efficient distribution of AC power, audio signals, and RMS to Leo Family systems. Standard multicore connectors for audio and power are on the front panel, with discrete connectors on the rear for audio, RMS, and power. The MDM-5000 is available in CE- and UL-compliant versions for worldwide use.
Also debuting in Frankfurt is the Lyon-WXT, an extended vertical coverage option for the LYON-W wide-coverage line array loudspeaker. The WXT option extends the vertical coverage of the Lyon-W from nine to 15 degrees, giving the lowest cabinet or two in the array a wider splay angle to achieve uniform coverage at a much steeper downward angle. A principal application for the WXT option will be for 360-degree arena shows, where this extended vertical coverage reduces the number of line array and front-fill loudspeakers required.
Daily presentations at the Meyer Sound stand include Leopard: The Performance and Business Impact in English and German, as well as a Tales from the Road guest speaker series.
As part of the Prolight+Sound Manufacturers' Forum programme, Meyer Sound will present Audio Challenges at Large Trade Show and Corporate Events in German with Thomas Hofmann, Michael Schwarzer, and J
