Meyer Sound MINA Line Arrays Providing Reinforcement For TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2011

System design calls for dual front arrays of six-each MINA loudspeakers supplemented by a center-axis delay cluster of six MINA loudspeakers

From September 12 to 14, 2011, hundreds of technology entrepreneurs will descend on San Francisco for TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2011, a popular cyber-world forum and start-up competition.

Speakers from Turntable.fm, LinkedIn, Quora, Intuit, and Facebook will be heard through 18 MINA line array loudspeakers from Meyer Sound.

Chosen for its exceptional sonic clarity, the MINA loudspeaker system is deployed by Swank Audio Visuals of St. Louis, Mo., the event’s primary audio supplier, in the concourse of the San Francisco Design Center.

An elongated pavilion built largely of steel and glass, the concourse is a challenging space for speech reinforcement. To keep highly intelligible sound focused on the deep audience area of about 80 feet by 220 feet, the system design calls for dual front arrays of six-each MINA loudspeakers supplemented by a center-axis delay cluster of six MINA loudspeakers.

System drive is provided by a Galileo loudspeaker management system with a Galileo 616 processor.

The newest and smallest member of Meyer Sound’s MILO family of self-powered line array loudspeakers (less than 20 inches wide and weighing a mere 41.2 pounds), MINA produces a robust 128 dB peak SPL over an operating frequency range of 66 Hz to 18 kHz.

TechCruch Disrupt is sponsored by the TechCrunch network of websites. Following San Francisco, the next TechCrunch Disrupt event is scheduled for Beijing in October, 2011.

Speakers and judges at the San Francisco event include the Silicon Valley’s leading venture capitalists, emerging software ventures, and representatives from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook.

At the end of the event, a $50,000 grand prize is awarded to the start-up venture judged most innovative and likely to succeed.

TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2011 is being streamed live here.
