All across the northern hemisphere, the busy summer music season is in full

swing, with an abundance of tours and festivals making Meyer Sound their

first choice for supplying high-fidelity sound at events ranging from

in-the-round concerts to massive outdoor festivals; from North America to

Europe and Asia; and from soulful jazz music and heavy metal to the King of

Pop.



With the power, consistency, and reliability proven to withstand even the

most extreme atmospheric conditions, Meyer Sound¹s self-powered systems are

a mainstay on the summer festival circuit year after year. Perennial

European favorites have long relied on Meyer Sound loudspeakers, including

the famed Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Germany¹s Moers, Sziget in

Hungary, and a multitude of other outdoor festivals in Norway, Sweden, Spain

and the UK. In Eastern Europe, Slovenia¹s Festival Novo Mesto is supplying

Meyer Sound systems for a range of musical celebrations including Festival

Lent and Rock Otocec, while To Breathe as One 2009 Song and Dance

Celebration will attract a massive crowd to Tallinn, Estonia, with

listening experience for visitors from near and far, with Meyer Sound

systems powering stages at Michigan¹s Rothbury Festival (Thunder Audio),

Colorado¹s Mile High Festival (Dowlen Sound), and Wisconsin¹s Summerfest

At MX Beat in Guadalajara, Mexico City-based CREA provided a MILO® line

array loudspeaker system, which delivered high SPL throughout the

performances of Cat Power, Mystery Jets, and Sebastian Tellier, despite the

unpredictable weather. ³Temperatures in Guadalajara could fluctuate between

zero and 37 degrees Celsius (32 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit),² says Saul

Rodriguez, production manager of MX Beat. ³Meyer Sound gear was really the

only choice for such demanding conditions.²



A growing number of festivals in Asia are turning to Meyer Sound systems

this year. In Bangalore, India, the 24x7 Rockathon is being considered for

an entry into the Limca Book of Records for the longest continuous musical

concert and live webcast, with 50 bands playing for four days with

reinforcement from a Meyer Sound system provided by Reynolds Sound and

Lighting Services. ³We had three teams working in shifts while the system

delivered diligently 24 hours a day without a glitch,² says Felix Remedios

of Reynolds Sound and Lighting Services. ³It was an impressive showcase of

the reliability of Meyer Sound equipment.²
