Meyer Sound LYON-W Wide-Coverage Line Array Loudspeaker

Meyer Sound LYON-W Wide-Coverage Line Array for Sale

Meyer Sound LYON-W is a professional self-powered wide-coverage line array loudspeaker designed for concerts, festivals, arenas, theaters, houses of worship and large permanent installations. As part of Meyer Sound’s LEO family, the LYON-W combines powerful output, wide horizontal coverage, integrated amplification and professional rigging in a compact enclosure.

The LYON-W is intended for positions where wider audience coverage is required. It is commonly used at the bottom or middle of a LYON array, as well as in sidefill, outfill and downfill configurations. Its acoustic characteristics allow it to integrate smoothly with the LYON-M and other compatible Meyer Sound products.

Used Meyer Sound LYON-W loudspeakers are available from Sound Pro Tech. Units are professionally inspected and tested before sale. Contact us for current availability, real photographs, serial numbers, production information, included accessories and delivery costs within France, Europe or internationally.

1. Wide 110-Degree Horizontal Coverage

One of the main advantages of the Meyer Sound LYON-W is its wide 110-degree horizontal coverage. This makes it particularly useful for audience areas that require broader sound distribution than the 90-degree LYON-M provides.

The wider pattern can help cover seats located closer to the sides of the stage or below the main portion of an array. This is why LYON-W cabinets are often placed near the bottom of a primary array, where the loudspeakers must cover audience areas closer to the stage.

They may also be positioned in the middle of an array when the venue’s geometry requires wider coverage in a specific seating section. In other applications, LYON-W cabinets can be used as dedicated sidefill or outfill arrays.

Vertical coverage depends on the array length, cabinet quantity and splay angles selected between adjacent enclosures. A professional system designer should determine the final configuration for the venue.

2. Powerful Dual 12-Inch Performance

Each cabinet contains two proprietary 12-inch long-excursion cone drivers. These drivers reproduce the low-frequency and midrange content required for professional music and speech reinforcement.

The tuned enclosure supports high output while maintaining the controlled response expected from Meyer Sound equipment. The drivers are engineered for demanding professional applications where loudspeakers may operate for long periods during concerts, festivals and corporate events.

The operating frequency range extends from approximately 55 Hz to 16.5 kHz. Dedicated subwoofers or low-frequency control elements should be added when the system requires deeper bass.

Meyer Sound’s 1100-LFC is a suitable low-frequency companion for LYON systems. The number of subwoofers required will depend on the size of the main array, the type of music, the audience capacity and the required low-frequency level.

3. Clear High-Frequency Reproduction

The high-frequency section contains two 3-inch diaphragm compression drivers. These drivers are coupled to a constant-directivity horn through Meyer Sound’s patented REM manifold.

The REM manifold helps the loudspeaker create the controlled vertical behavior needed in a line array. It also supports consistent high-frequency reproduction across the cabinet’s horizontal coverage.

Precise phase and magnitude alignment between the low-frequency and high-frequency sections helps maintain clarity when reproducing vocals, instruments and other detailed program material.

When several cabinets are configured correctly, the array can provide consistent tonal balance across a large audience area. The exact result will depend on the array design, trim height, splay angles, venue acoustics and system processing.

4. Integrated 8,500-Watt Peak Amplification

The Meyer Sound LYON-W is a self-powered loudspeaker. Every enclosure contains a three-channel Class AB/H bridged amplifier with complementary MOSFET output stages.

Meyer Sound specifies total peak amplifier output of up to 8,500 watts. The onboard amplification is matched to the installed drivers, removing the need for separate external power amplifiers.

Internal processing manages frequency correction, phase alignment, signal distribution and driver protection. Meyer Sound’s TruPower limiting helps protect the drivers while minimizing long-term power compression.

A self-powered design can simplify system preparation and reduce the amount of external amplifier equipment required. Each cabinet still needs a suitable AC power connection, balanced audio signal and correctly designed power distribution.

For a large array, the production team should calculate the total electrical requirements using the manufacturer’s published current figures.

5. High Output for Large Venues

The LYON-W has a published maximum SPL of up to 148 dB under Meyer Sound’s stated measurement conditions. Its linear peak SPL is specified at 143.5 dB with a crest factor greater than 17.5 dB using M-Noise.

These specifications demonstrate the loudspeaker’s ability to reproduce demanding program material with substantial headroom. The actual level throughout a venue depends on the number of cabinets, array configuration, listening distance and environmental conditions.

A single maximum SPL number does not predict the complete performance of an array. The full system should be designed for the venue using professional prediction and measurement tools.

Meyer Sound recommends its MAPP System Design Tool for predicting coverage and sound pressure. MAPP can also help technicians examine the array configuration and verify rigging load information.

6. Professional Rigging System

The Meyer Sound LYON-W uses end frames with captive GuideALinks and quick-release pins. This integrated rigging system allows adjacent cabinets to be connected and configured at suitable splay angles.

The splay angles shape the vertical coverage of the completed array. Smaller angles generally provide longer projection, while wider angles can cover audience areas closer to the array.

The MTG-LYON top grid is the principal flying frame for LYON systems. Additional accessories are available for pullback, transitions and other approved configurations.

All flown arrays must be designed and installed by qualified rigging professionals. The cabinet quantity, pickup points, safety factor and total suspended load must be verified before the system is lifted.

Any fly frame, pins, motor plates or transition hardware included in a used package should be listed individually on the quotation or invoice.

7. Suitable for Touring and Installations

The Meyer Sound LYON-W is designed for both touring sound and permanent installations. Its applications include:

* Concerts and live music tours
* Festivals and outdoor productions
* Arenas and large auditoriums
* Theaters and performing arts centers
* Churches and houses of worship
* Corporate events and conferences
* Professional AV rental inventories
* Permanent venue installations
* Sidefill and outfill arrays
* Downfill and midfill positions
* Systems combining LYON-M and LYON-W cabinets

Its wide horizontal coverage makes it especially useful in venues with broad seating areas or sections that cannot be covered effectively by a narrower main cabinet.

Integration With Meyer Sound LYON-M

The LYON-M and LYON-W share important acoustic characteristics, allowing them to be combined within the same system.

LYON-M provides 90-degree horizontal coverage and is normally used as the main cabinet in the longer-throw portion of an array. LYON-W provides 110-degree horizontal coverage for areas that need a wider pattern.

A common design may use LYON-M cabinets in the upper portion of the array and LYON-W cabinets near the bottom. However, the correct arrangement depends on the venue and must be confirmed through system prediction.

The LYON-W can also complement LEO-M systems as downfill, midfill, sidefill or outfill. Appropriate transition frames and manufacturer-approved hardware are required when different cabinet types are physically connected.

Galileo GALAXY Processing

A Galileo GALAXY network platform can provide processing, matrix routing, system alignment, equalization and control for a LYON system.

Correct processing is important when combining main arrays, subwoofers, front fills and delay loudspeakers. Delay and level alignment help the different system components operate together coherently.

The system should be measured after installation to confirm coverage, phase alignment and frequency response. Venue acoustics and physical placement can affect performance even when the initial design is accurate.

RMS Remote Monitoring

Each LYON-W includes an RMS remote-monitoring module. When connected to the appropriate Meyer Sound RMS network and software, technicians can monitor operating information from multiple loudspeakers.

Remote monitoring is especially useful in large systems where many self-powered cabinets are installed or flown. It allows the system operator to check loudspeaker status from a central location.

Depending on the version, the audio connections may use five-pin XLR connectors that carry balanced audio and RMS signals or three-pin XLR connectors for balanced audio.

Request photographs of the rear amplifier panel to confirm the connector configuration of the specific used cabinets.

Power Requirements

The LYON-W uses a powerCON 32 AC connector and supports professional voltage ranges used in Europe and other international markets.

The published burst-current figure is approximately 7.5 amps per cabinet at 230 volts. The current required by a complete array will depend on the cabinet quantity and program material.

A qualified technician should design the electrical distribution for the complete system. Power cables must have a suitable conductor size, especially when long cable runs are required.

Improper power distribution or excessive voltage drop can prevent a self-powered system from achieving its intended performance. Confirm the available venue power before deploying a large array.

Durable Professional Construction

The enclosure is manufactured from premium multi-ply birch plywood with a slightly textured black finish. A powder-coated steel grille with acoustical mesh protects the drivers.

Each cabinet measures approximately:

* Width: 969 mm
* Height: 377 mm
* Depth: 533 mm
* Weight: 90.3 kg

The loudspeaker’s considerable weight should be considered when planning transportation, rigging and manual handling.

Compatible MCF-LYON caster frames can transport connected cabinets in stacks. This helps touring crews reduce handling during loading, setup and breakdown.

Protective covers may also be available for transported stacks. Confirm whether carts, covers, frames, power cables and rigging accessories are included with the units being offered.
