Meyer Sound's new CAL column array loudspeaker provides precise coverage control and exceptional speech clarity while minimizing unwanted reflections, says the company. Live demonstrations of CAL and its beam steering capabilities will show visitors "the remarkable intelligibility it provides for audiences in stadiums and other acoustically challenging environments".
The CAL demo at ISE will be controlled using an iPad interface and driven by the D-Mitri digital platform on an AVB (audio video bridging) network - the new non-proprietary networking standard for low-latency audio and video data transport.
Users of Meyer Sound M Series loudspeakers will be pleased to learn about Galileo Callisto, a new signal processing and loudspeaker management system designed to make precision array calibration much faster and easier. New features in Callisto include a new U-Shaping filter that provides a sculpting tool for adjusting the gain, width, and slope; delay integration that offers a quick alignment tool to ensure a coherent summation when combining different loudspeaker elements; and simultaneous application of high- and low-pass filters in the output processing.
The recently expanded range of Meyer Sound 48 V, DC-powered solutions will be on display, including the UPJ-1XP, UPJunior-XP VariO and UPM-1XP loudspeakers, and the UMS-1XP subwoofer.
