In their quest to make the game-day sound for this Super Bowl the best ever, NFL production leaders tapped Meyer Sound to help enhance the 7 February experience between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos. Meyer Sound's technical team worked with ATK Audiotek of Valencia, Calif. to rig SB-1 parabolic long-throw sound beams and SB-3F sound field synthesis loudspeakers at Levi's Stadium, ensuring that the full house in the upper deck can enjoy game day.
Meyer Sound solutions could also be found enhancing the fan experience at many of the Bay Area events leading up to Super Bowl 50. The company's top-of-the-line Leo Family of line array loudspeakers supported Metallica's trademark sound at AT&T Park on Saturday, and power the party at Project Nightclub on Pier 70 for performances by Dave Matthews Band and Pharrell Williams on Thursday and Friday nights, respectively. The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at Saturday's Super Bowl eve show there.
In addition, longtime fans at the San Francisco Symphony experienced Meyer Sound's newest product - the Leopard linear sound reinforcement system - in two special evenings of big-game orchestral celebrations at Davies Symphony Hall.
The systems at AT&T Park, Pier 70, and Davies Symphony Hall were supplied by Martinez, Calif.-based Pro Media / UltraSound, a company perhaps best known as the Grateful Dead's sound system supplier since 1980.
"All of us at Meyer Sound are thrilled to play a role in the big game and in all the festivities leading up to this extra special 50th anniversary," says Helen Meyer, Meyer Sound's executive vice president and co-founder.
