MINA Line Array Speakers

...ILO family. Just over a foot and a half long and weighing only 41.2 lbs yet capable of producing up to 128 dB SPL over its wide 100-degree horizontal coverage area, MINA will find a place in a variety of applications. Its small footprint makes it an ideal curvilinear array system for low-profile, high-fidelity sound reinforcement, as well as frontfill and under-balcony applications. Installations and theatre tours, where size is a concern, can pose tough challenges to attaining excellent coverage, but MINA rises to the challenge easily. Optional weather protection, custom color cabinets and low-profile rigging pins ensure that MINA will blend into any environment to deliver even coverage and pristine sound.


MINA comes from a heritage worth boasting about. Since the 2003 introduction of the MILO high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker, products from this family of self-powered loudspeakers have become the "gold standard" for touring and installed line array systems. Now the newest member, MINA, fills a niche by providing a very compact yet powerful package capable of integrating easily with its sibling M'elodie, yet Strong enough to stand alone in smaller theatres, houses of worship, ballrooms and corporate AV situations by effortlessly producing up to 128 dB SPL over its wide 100-degree horizontal coverage area.

Featuring drivers and acoustical combining manifolds designed and built by Meyer Sound, all MILO family loudspeakers seamlessly integrate in virtually any combination, representing a complete solution for fixed installations of any size, and total flexibility for touring or rental applications, where every show may demand a different system configuration that, nonetheless, must provide the same sound quality as the show before.

With six distinct variations on a successful theme, the MILO family offers a comprehensive solution that allows every audience member to enjoy the power and transparency of MILO in Venues of any size.

Meyer Sound Line Array Speakers

Established by John and Helen Meyer in 1979, Meyer Sound has been at the forefront of innovation in audio engineering for over two decades. From the outset, Meyer Sound looked beyond loudspeaker cabinet design to create totally integrated, systems-comprehensive solutions that encompass transducer design, signal processing, power amplification and even electroacoustic measurement systems. As a result, Meyer Sound's engineering teams have earned an enviable reputation for developing unique, innovative solutions to some of the most difficult problems confronting audio professionals. In fact, it is fundamental to John Meyer's philosophy that no component of a system should be compromised in order to compensate for variables "upstream" or "downstream." Instead, the entire system should be conceived, designed, tested, confirmed and manufactured as a whole to provide the optimum blend of audio fidelity, utility and long-term reliability.

Line Array Speakers

Line array speakers make up a loudspeaker system to create a sound source that produces an evenly distributed sound output. The driver of each line array element is close enough to the driver of the next element to create constructive interference. The resulting sound waves go farther than sound waves from traditional loudspeakers. Line array systems date back to the early days of research in acoustics. Many old town halls and public venues still have old line source boxes which were found to project voice well though they are much smaller than horn-loaded speakers. These days, line array speakers use different drivers for high-, mid- and low-frequency passbands that must be in line. Each enclosure must be set up closely to form columns composed of these drivers. To increase the frequency range and maximum sound pressure, the number of drivers per enclosure must be increased. The orientation of line array speakers may vary. Vertical arrays are excellent for focusing sound at audiences without wasting output energy on ceilings or empty air above the audience because of its very narrow vertical output with a normally-wide horizontal pattern. On the other hand, horizontal line arrays have a very narrow horizontal output with a tall vertical pattern. For hanging concert speakers which are usually part of a concert reinforcement system, enclosures are set up together using a specialized rigging hardware and they hang from a single point. These line array speakers are curved backward at the lower portion so that the sound will reach more audience.
