The biggest problem I see right away is that they’ve decided such large boxes can make do with such ridiculously small handles 🤨. It’s simply a mystery to me that anyone would think that’s enough 🤦🏼♂️. I’ve heard about several different products from them and have been quite impressed, but I would hate to have to handle those boxes a couple of times a week on different jobs. For a fixed installation, of course, it doesn’t matter, but for a life on the road, it’s definitely a miss 🤷🏼♂️.
But what do you mean by "don't need a sub" does that mean on a stand those will producing rocking bass or just enough bass to get by? "don't need a sub" is a phrase that gets tossed around a bit loosely in the audio world.
After modeling a design, Add up all the components... Sheets of 18mm Baltic Birch. Cabinet hardware, Speaker Drivers, Damping material, wiring, connectors and connector panels, handles, feet, wheels, Glue, Paint, and also the CNC machine work and router bits to cut the wood after you design it. Then Testing and measuring, tuning, and then creating active crossover components to match the tuning and phase time alignment for the cabinet. Then fail a few times (make firewood) refine the product into its second or third model or until you are happy with the way it performs..... and pray that it obtains some recognition in a very competitive market.
Yes, pretty much. Except that Meyer is worth its value, its not just a mark up like in the clothing industry. The quality that goes into these products (and warranty) is best in the industry.
No dude they not Gucci. They are still a family. You know the guy who really made Gucci pop in modern times has started his own brand and that's just not the case with Meyer. They are the best though and everyone knows it. Even some of the top most luxurious home theater installers are getting exited for these X80, X40 and X20 speakers. Some of the mixing studios for movie soundtracks have gone from M&K speakers to Meyer blue horns.
Good on you Meyer sound. I choose the point source speaker. In many ways Line Arrays have ruined pro audio fidelity in my opinion. I wish the main objective was fidelity and coherency first and not always loudness and peak output numbers. I just want to dance... and point source sound systems I believe are the solution to that!
Line arrays are meant to replace stacking point sources with the end objective to gain better coverage and less phasing issues. For large scale, like arrays are much better than point sources
@@agatecard5587not necessarily true. I agree that staking point source is not the way to go. But when you look at what Danley is doing it’s definitely up to something. Line arrays have gotten better over the years but it’s definitely not perfect. Neither is Danley btw but at least they’re innovating. For what it is it offers a way better cost effective solution and even better fidelity system than line arrays but at a cost of scalability. You have the use the appropriate system for the venue. For a production company I could see why Danley might be not be interesting as it’s more meant for permanent installations but they have gotten better over the years.
All beautiful American sound! ❤

Agree. with no subs, are you mounting them on stands and then who's lifting 135lbs up on a stand. Do they even have pole mounts?
Would it be correct to say that these new ultra x-80s are the evolution of the glorious MSL-4?
why is meyer speakers sooooo expensive ? are they Gucci of speakers ?

its a bit Danley .. just saying
This isn’t a multiple entry horn. Nothing like Danley. Meyer’s flagship box is still a line array (and will be for the foreseeable future)
I wish it operated at 120V…
That's what is preventing me from getting a pair. Hoping for X60 in the future.
