Meyer Sound Expands Range of Milan-Certified Loudspeakers With Four New Models
Meyer Sound Announces Four New Milan-Certified Loudspeakers
Meyer Sound has announced the immediate availability of four more loudspeaker products that
are now
certified as stand-alone endpoints for direct connection to any AVB network compliant with the Milan
interoperability protocol. Orders are now being accepted for new Milan input versions of the
ULTRA-X20, ULTRA-X22, and ULTRA-X23 full-range loudspeakers and the USW-112P
compact subwoofer.
Already proven in the field with Meyer Sound's PANTHER linear line array, the Milan input modules
accept audio signals from any Milan-certified source via a certified switch. A single RJ45 connector
carries high-resolution digital audio along with telemetry data for remote monitoring, resulting in
simplified installation and reduced costs.
"The debut of these four Milan-certified loudspeakers marks a major milestone in the evolution of
networked AV systems built around a user-driven protocol based on IEEE open standards," says Andy
Davies, Senior Product Manager at Meyer Sound. "Designers of installed systems for new
construction
can save on cabling and installation labour costs, while system renewals can utilize cabling already
installed for existing Gigabit Ethernet networks - all with the inherent routing flexibility of
digital networks."
The availability of Milan-certified loudspeaker systems enables complete network AV solutions which
not only offer simplified management and control but also are more cost-effective to deploy using IT
industry infrastructures. Network solutions also maintain a fully digital workflow all the way to
the end point, eliminating conversion stages that add latency and degrade performance.
"Milan is rapidly becoming the preferred digital transport solution because of its reserved
bandwidth as well as guaranteed latency and presentation time," adds Davies. "Indeed, for many
applications, it is the only digital transport solution that meets the technical requirements. In
addition, as an open standard, it will be supported for the life of the product. Meyer Sound
products last for decades, and the network technology must do the same."
Meyer Sound Milan-certified loudspeakers now offer the advantages of end-to-end networked solutions
across a full range of applications, including but not limited to corporate and hospitality
installations, theme parks and themed spectaculars, houses of worship, and retail spaces.
The ULTRA-X20 family offers three coverage pattern options, coupled with rotatable horns and a wide
selection of accessories. The result is a flexible range of systems equally at home in rental or
permanent installs. Bringing this family into the Milan ecosystem, along with the powerful USW-112P,
further enhances the flexibility and range of deployments possible with Meyer Sound solutions.
