“The line arrays are such an elegant solution for getting a lot of sound into the house yet really being precise about where that sound is going. “One of the things that Meyer has been especially important in is trying to maintain the natural acoustic sound,” Landmesser says. To meet its exacting needs, the Lyric Opera selected a Meyer Sound system comprised of 10 M2D line array loudspeakers, 16 MM-4XP self-powered loudspeakers, two CQ-1 loudspeakers, one 700-HP subwoofer, a Galileo loudspeaker management system, and two MPS-488HPe power supply units. Where we’re focusing that and how we’re using it is a matter of great precision.” Meyer Sound M2D Line Array Loudspeaker “It’s a deep auditorium,” Landmesser illustrates, “and we do not want the sound from our speaker system to be slapping the walls and coming back as unwanted reflections. With a long tradition of natural acoustics, amplified sound represents a significant departure for the company. To get everyone’s diction-their song and spoken words-and to be as crisp and clear as possible in a house this size is quite a challenge.” “This is a 3,600-plus-seat house, a huge hall to be doing a musical.
“As a company, we’re not just doing the great works of European culture but also the great works of American culture,” explains Drew Landmesser, production and technical director for Lyric Opera of Chicago. To properly present Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein’s seminal masterpiece that was first performed in 1927, Lyric Opera chose a large complement of sound reinforcement equipment from Meyer Sound. Named “one of the best opera companies in the world” by Esquire magazine, the Lyric Opera of Chicago presented an American contribution to the operatic stage at the close of its season-Show Boat.
