DATASHEET LINE ARRAY

LYON™ Linear Line Array Loudspeaker

The self-powered LYON™ linear line array loudspeaker is a member of
Meyer Sound’s LEO

®

family of linear loudspeakers, designed to reproduce
audio faithfully with tremendous power and clarity, without coloring the
sound, even when pushed to the limit. LYON delivers the same headroom
and precision as the acclaimed LEO-M

™

with the same cutting-edge

technology housed in a lighter and more compact cabinet.

Optimized rigging and self-powered configuration streamlines both
setup and breakdown for LYON systems. LYON is ideal for medium- to
large-scale array applications that do not require the extreme long-throw
capability of LEO-M.

For greater flexibility, LYON is available in three models: LYON-M for
primary array coverage, LYON-W for wide coverage, and LYON-WXT for
wide coverage with extended vertical coverage. Use LYON-W in LYON
arrays when applications require wide coverage, such as at the bottom
or in the middle of primary arrays, or even at the top of outfill arrays. Use
LYON-WXT when applications require wide coverage with greater vertical
dispersion, such as at the bottom of extremely curved arrays or with
installations that cannot use frontfill loudspeakers. Because LYON-W and
LYON-WXT match the acoustical characteristics of LYON-M, transitions for
horizontal coverage are seamless.

Pair LYON arrays with Meyer Sound’s 1100-LFC low-frequency control
element for bass reproduction. Drive entire systems with MeyerSound’s

®

Galileo

GALAXYNetwork Platform, which provides 24 bit, 96 kHz audio,
matrix routing, alignment, and processing for array components. By using
the GALAXY Network Platform delay integration settings, it is possible
to acoustically match all LYON models to LEO-M. With this approach,
designers can use any LYON model for downfill and midfill at the bottom
of LEO-M arrays, and as supplemental sidefill and outfill arrays in LEO-M
systems.

To guarantee optimum system performance, including coverage patterns
and linear peak SPL, design LYON systems with Meyer Sound’s MAPP

System Design Tool. This useful tool also helps verify rigging load ratings.

LYON’s high-frequency section comprises two proprietary compression
drivers coupled to a constant-directivity horn through a patented REM®
manifold. The manifold’s smooth radiating characteristics afford tight
vertical coverage. The low-frequency section includes two long-excursion
cone drivers, also proprietary, capable of withstanding high continuous
output levels. Precise phase and magnitude alignment between low­and high-frequency drivers yields consistent and well-behaved system
responses.

The unit’s onboard power amplifier operates at nominal voltages from
85–134 V AC and 165–264VAC at 50–60Hz. TruPower

®

limiting ensures
maximum driver protection, minimizing power compression while yielding
high constant output under high continuous and peak power conditions. A
single, field-replaceable module located on the rear of the cabinet houses
the amplifier, control electronics, and power supply.

Meyer Sound’s RMS
with all LYON loudspeakers and provides comprehensive monitoring of
system parameters on a Mac

™

remote monitoring system module comes standard

®

or Windows®-based computer. Convenient
XLR 5-pin connectors allow the use of composite cables carrying both
RMS and balanced audio. XLR 3-pin audio connectors are also available.

LYON offers intuitive rigging with captive GuideALinks

™

that users can set
to the desired splay angles while cabinets rest in caster frames. A range of
available rigging accessories make LYON a versatile solution for a variety
of applications.

Meyer Sound constructs the LYON cabinet of premium multi-ply birch and
coats it with a slightly textured black finish. A powder-coated, hex-stamped
steel grille with acoustical black mesh protects the unit’s drivers. Other
options include weather protection and custom color finishes for fixed
installations and applications with specific cosmetic requirements.

ACCESSORIES AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS

MTG-LYON Top Grid: With some restrictions, flies up to 22 LYON cabinets at a 5:1 safety factor and BGV C1; accommodates a variety of pickup

configurations with six pickup points; includes attachment points to accommodate brackets and adapters for lasers and inclinometers. Always use
MAPP to verify rigging load ratings.

MVP Motor Vee Plate: Attaches to MTG-LYON (and all other LEO family grids) and fine tunes horizontal aim of LYON arrays.

RPP-LEO-M Rear Pull-up Plate: Helps when assembling large arrays with wide splay angles by providing pull-up (with a motor) to expand the array’s

splay angles during installation, making insertion of the blue locking pins easier.

MTF-LEO-M/LYON Transition Frame: With some restrictions, flies up to nine LYON cabinets at a 5:1 safety factor and BGV C1 below LEO-M arrays
for downfill; includes rear attachment points for pull-back.

MTF-LYON/LEOPARD Transition Frame: With some restrictions, flies up to ten LEOPARD cabinets at a 5:1 safety factor and BGV C1 below LYON
arrays for downfill; includes rear attachment points for pull-back; collapsible for easy transport on top of LEOPARD stacks.

PBF-LYON Pull-back Frame: Attaches to the bottom cabinet of LYON arrays and provides pull-back for extreme array downtilt; also facilitates pull-up
to expand the array’s splay angles during installation, so users can more easily insert the blue locking pins.

MDM-5000 Distribution Module: Offers convenient power distribution and flexible routing of audio, AC power, and RMS to loudspeaker arrays.

MCF-LYON Caster Frame: Safely transports up to four LYON cabinets, making it easy to assemble and disassemble arrays in blocks of four cabinets.

Durable nylon covers for stacks of four units are also available to ensure the LYON is completely road ready.

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 fine­tuning for a full range of applications.
