The LINA™ compact linear line array loudspeaker excels in
array performance while providing exceptional high frequency
headroom, phase coherence, and consistent coverage. Its light
weight and small size are ideal for venues that require a low-profile,
high-power, curvilinear array system with exceptional fidelity,
such as small theaters, theme parks, houses of worship, and AV
systems.

Single cabinet or short stack implementations of LINA are also
well-suited for front-fill and under-balcony applications that must
attain precise high-frequency vertical coverage. In addition to
standalone implementations, LINA is useful in LEOPARD™ systems
as a supplemental fill loudspeaker.

LINA evolved from the highly successful MINA™ loudspeaker,
now optimized using the state-of-the-art technology that made
the LEO® family an award-winning product line. LINA delivers the
same signature and advantages of self-powered design, linear
response, and precise directional control. Like LEOPARD, LINA
loudspeakers offer Native Mode, a configuration optimized to yield
excellent system performance right out of the box with minimal
external processing.

LINA features an innovative, newly designed, highly efficient
classD amplifier that reproduces any sound source with linearity
over a wide dynamic range, from speech and classical music to
rock and EDM. LINA faithfully reproduces audio with tremendous
power, superior intelligibility, and extremely low distortion.

Drive LINA systems with Meyer Sound’s Galileo® GALAXY Network
Platform, which provides 24 bit, 96 kHz audio, matrix routing,
alignment, and processing for array components. Using the
Meyer Sound MDM-832 distribution module to route AC power,
balanced audio, and optional RMS™ module signals to multiple
LINA loudspeakers further enhances the portability and ease of
configuring a system.

For low-frequency extension, LINA pairs with Meyer Sound’s
750-LFC low-frequency control element, which can be flown in
a LINA array without transition hardware. Like LINA, the 750-LFC
is efficient and versatile, with an excellent power-to-size ratio.
Applications that require more low-frequency headroom can use
Meyer Sound’s 900-LFC, which also integrates with LINA systems.

LINA includes Meyer Sound’s QuickFly® rigging with
captive GuideALinks™ that can create splay angles from
1 to 11 degrees. A range of available rigging accessories
make LINA a versatile solution for a variety of applications.
To design entire LINA family systems, use Meyer Sound’s
MAPP™ System Design Tool, as it effectively anticipates system
SPL and coverage requirements. This useful tool also helps verify
rigging load ratings.

Meyer Sound coats the premium multi-ply birch LINA cabinet
with a slightly textured black finish. Other options include weather
protection and custom color finishes for fixed installations and
applications with specific cosmetic requirements.

two cabinets (pole-mount adapter not included).

PBF-LINA Pull Back Frame: Attaches to the bottom cabinet of LINA and 750-LFC arrays and provides pull-back for extreme array downtilt.

MYA-MINA/LINA Yoke: Suspends arrays of up to four LINA cabinets from a single point and pole-mounts up to two cabinets on top of a 750-LFC

(pole-mount adapter not included).

MCF-MINA/LINA Caster Frame: Safely transports up to five fully rigged LINA cabinets, making it easy to assemble and disassemble arrays in blocks.
Durable nylon covers for stacks of three, four, and five units are also available to ensure the LINA is completely road ready.

MVP motor Vee plate: Attaches to the MG-MINA/LINA grid (and all other LEO family grids) and fine tunes the horizontal aim of LINA and 750-LFC
arrays.

Galileo GALAXY Network Platform: The Galileo GALAXY Network Platform provides state-of-the-art audio control technology for loudspeaker
systems with multiple zones. With immaculate sonic performance, it provides a powerful tool set for corrective room equalization and creative
fine-tuning for a full range of applications.

MDM-832 Distribution Module: MDM-832 units conveniently power LINA array systems, routing up to eight channels of AC power, balanced audio
and RMS signals to the loudspeakers.

NOTES

1. Loudspeaker system predictions for coverage and SPL are available in Meyer Sound’s MAPP System Design Tool.

2. Recommended maximum operating frequency range. Response depends on loading conditions and room acoustics.

3. Linear Peak SPL is measured in free-field at 4 m referred to 1 m. Loudspeaker SPL compression measured with M-noise at the onset of limiting,
2-hour duration, and 50°C ambient temperature is <2 dB.

M-noise is a full bandwidth, (10Hz–22.5kHz) test signal developed by Meyer Sound to better measure the loudspeaker’s music performance. It
has a constant instantaneous peak level in octave bands, a crest factor that increases with frequency, and a full bandwidth Peak to RMS ratio of
18 dB.

Pink noise is a full bandwidth test signal with Peak to RMS ratio of 12.5 dB.

B-noise is a Meyer Sound test signal used to ensure measurements reflect system behavior when reproducing the most common input spectrum,

and to verify there is still headroom over pink noise.

4. Pins 4 and 5 (RMS) only included with XLR 5-pin connector that accommodates both balanced audio and RMS signals.

5. Peak power based on the maximum unclipped peak voltage the amplifier will produce into the nominal load impedance.

6. AC power cabling must be of sufficient gauge so that under burst current rms conditions, cable transmission losses do not cause the
loudspeaker’s voltage to drop below the specified operating range.
