New self-powered steerable column array loudspeakers available in Q4

Meyer Sound has introduced the CAL series of self-powered steerable column array loudspeakers.

The CAL arrays feature optimised vertical coverage control and low-distortion sound developed and refined as a result of years of Meyer’s research in steering sound technology. The vertical beam can be angled up or down 30-degrees and can be configured with vertical beam widths from five to 60-degrees while maintaining full power output. Multiple or split beams can be used as needed.
 
The company assures that, using a range of vertical control presets programmed for the steerable column array loudspeakers, system integrators can choose the angle and dispersion to accurately project sound where needed while avoiding surfaces that interfere with speech signal transmissions. It has also stated that intelligible voice reproduction and audio coverage can be achieved with the CAL series with fewer, strategically placed loudspeakers, making it well suited for acoustically challenging spaces such as churches, mosques, airports, cruise ships, stadiums and theme parks.
 
The CAL speakers also incorporate the same digital signal processing as found in the Meyer Sound D-Mitri digital audio platform, and are built upon sound directivity research in collaboration with the University of California Berkeley’s Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT).
