Following an extremely well-received presentation about acoustical prediction in 2003, John Meyer returns to Sound:Check Xpo to deliver a thought-provoking presentation about high-performance cinema sound, hosted by the AES Latin American Conference. Drawing from his years of experience in creating highly successful products for movie theaters, Meyer will share his knowledge of how to create sound systems that provide the complete, multi-sensory movie-viewing experience.

Audio professionals at the show will also have the opportunity to learn about the groundbreaking Constellation™ electroacoustic architecture at another AES presentation by Meyer Sound’s Executive Director of Digital Products, John McMahon. Meyer Sound’s Constellation system offers venues, for the first time, the ability to alter their acoustics with a button press to fit any given performance.

Making its south-of-the-border debut is the new UPQ-1P loudspeaker, which is sure to be the center of attention at the Meyer Sound stand. With its flexible rigging options, wide vertical coverage and gradual off-axis rolloff, UPQ-1P is suited for permanent installations in theaters and nightclubs as well as portable event production applications. The latest addition to Meyer Sound’s famed UltraSeries™, the self-powered loudspeaker houses 1,275 watts of total amplifier power, a 15-inch neodymium magnet low frequency driver, and a four-inch diaphragm compression driver coupled to an 80-degree by 50-degree constant directivity horn. This robust combination delivers a peak power output of 136 dB SPL with exceptionally flat phase and amplitude response.
