Meyer Sound’s Most Popular Products of All Time
Meyer Sound has long been recognized as one of the most innovative loudspeaker manufacturers in the world. Known for precision engineering, cutting-edge technology, and unrivaled sound quality, the company has produced some of the most iconic professional audio products ever made. Below, we highlight a selection of Meyer Sound’s most popular and enduring products that have shaped live sound for decades.
1. UPA-1P Compact Loudspeaker
The UPA-1P is perhaps Meyer Sound’s most famous product. First introduced as a passive version in the 1980s, it became a standard in touring, theatres, houses of worship, and corporate AV. When Meyer Sound introduced the self-powered UPA-1P, it set a new industry benchmark for compact, high-fidelity sound reinforcement. Its versatility and reliability made it one of the most specified professional loudspeakers in history.
2. M Series Line Arrays (MILO, MICA, M’elodie)
Meyer Sound’s MILO line array changed the game in large-scale touring sound. Launched in the early 2000s, MILO was soon followed by the smaller MICA and M’elodie models, which offered scalable solutions for arenas, theatres, and outdoor events. The series became a staple for concert tours and festivals worldwide, known for delivering clarity, punch, and smooth coverage across massive audiences.
3. LEO Family of Linear Line Arrays
The LEO Family took Meyer Sound into the next generation of linear sound reinforcement. Introduced in the 2010s, LEO and its siblings LYON and LEOPARD became favorites for their powerful output, long-throw capabilities, and transparent sound. The LEOPARD compact line array in particular has been one of the company’s best-sellers, balancing portability with the sonic impact expected from Meyer Sound.
4. 650-R2 Subwoofer
The 650-R2 dual 18-inch subwoofer is a legend in its own right. It became one of the most recognized and widely used subwoofers in professional touring, providing massive low-frequency extension and headroom. Known for its “musical” low-end, it set a new standard in bass reinforcement and cemented Meyer Sound’s reputation for delivering not just volume, but clarity in the lowest registers.
5. M-Noise & Galileo Processing
While not a loudspeaker itself, Meyer Sound’s Galileo loudspeaker management system has been one of its most popular products in the control realm. Combined with innovations like M-Noise (a new test signal for measuring system performance), Meyer Sound has advanced both loudspeaker design and system optimization, giving engineers unmatched precision in real-world environments.
6. Constellation Acoustic System
Though very different from traditional speakers, the Constellation system is one of Meyer Sound’s most celebrated innovations. Used in concert halls, conference centers, and even restaurants, Constellation transforms the acoustics of a space at the push of a button. Its popularity has grown significantly as venues seek flexible, world-class acoustics without physical reconstruction.
7. MJF Series Stage Monitors
Meyer Sound’s MJF monitors, especially the MJF-210, are a favorite among artists and engineers for their crystal-clear, high-output monitoring. These wedges are seen on stages around the world, trusted by some of the biggest names in touring for their ability to deliver power and clarity without feedback issues.
A Lasting Legacy
From the legendary UPA-1P to the state-of-the-art LEO Family, Meyer Sound has consistently set the benchmark for professional audio. Its products have stood the test of time, not only as popular choices among engineers and artists but as industry-defining innovations that shaped the sound of live music, theatre, and installed environments worldwide.
