Meyer Sound Panther large-format linear line array loudspeakers is being deployed at Yumi Matsutoya’s current concert tours.
Audio systems for the tour are supplied by Arté (Acoustic Reinforcement Technology) in partnership with Artwiz. The Meyer Sound system was designed by Arté audio designer and system engineer Shoji Yuzawa with assistance from Meyer Sound director of system optimisation, Bob McCarthy.
The touring system is anchored by eight hangs of 12-each PANTHER loudspeakers, and fills are 16 Leopard compact line array loudspeakers along with four Ultra-X40 compact loudspeakers. For system drive and optimisation, three Galileo Galaxy network platforms are being utilised.
Keiji Shigeta, CEO of Artwiz, remarked: “Japan has some of the world’s strictest regulations for touring systems regarding safety and electrical requirements and the introduction of Panther has made it possible to offer greatly improved performance within these restrictions. The reduced size and weight met or exceeded all requirements for the tour, especially regarding sound quality.”
