There are few loudspeaker systems capable of delivering the fidelity of a studio monitor with the power required to cover a large-format festival. The Meyer Sound LYON is one of them. Born under the shadow of the legendary LEO system, LYON was designed for those professionals who refuse to choose between a manageable size and punchy sound pressure levels.
As part of the LEO Family, elLYON shares that unique ability to maintain absolute linearity: the sound does not change color or distort even when you push the system to its power limit—a characteristic that only Meyer Sound engineering achieves with such precision.
The science behind its performance
What makes LYON stand out in the second-hand market is not just its name, but the technology housed inside:
- Uncompromising fidelity: With a linear peak SPL of 143.5 dB, this loudspeaker delivers a frequency response from 55 Hz to 16.5 kHz. This means it can handle complex transients and pristine vocals effortlessly, even in high-ambient-noise environments.
- Efficient self-powered design: As a self-powered system featuring a three-channel Class AB/H amplifier module, LYON ensures that each transducer (its two 12″ cone drivers and its two 3″ compression drivers) receives exact power, eliminating the signal losses typical of long loudspeaker cables and external amplifier racks.
- Controlled dispersion: Thanks to the REM™ system (a manifold that guides the sound to the horn), LYON achieves extremely precise vertical coverage—vital for avoiding unwanted reflections in indoor venues or for directing sound with exact precision in open-air spaces.
A strategic asset for the professional
Beyond its sound, LYON is highly valued for its operational «intelligence.» Thanks to RMS™ technology, the monitoring crew can check the status of every single cabinet in real time from the FOH control position: component temperature, voltage, and limiter activity. This provides invaluable peace of mind during a live show.
Furthermore, its GuideALinks™ rigging system allows the array angles to be set quickly, which reduces load-in and load-out times—a critical factor in the profitability of any rental company.
