Where architecture meets performance: Kėdainių šviesioji gimnazija

Kėdainiai Šviesioji Gymnasium in Lithuania brings together heritage and contemporary design—creating a cohesive environment for both learning and culture. At the heart of the new extension: a concert hall with the scale and technical standard of a professional venue, including stalls, balcony, and full stage infrastructure.

Together with SONUS, a flexible Meyer Sound system was implemented to support everything from daily school use to larger performances and community events—reliable, adaptable, and easy to operate.

Even in this reverberant room, the design achieves high intelligibility, while music sounds natural and engaging.
System highlights include ULTRA‑X40 as the main system, 750‑LFC for low-frequency control, UP‑4slim for balcony and under-balcony coverage, with MPS‑482HP and Galileo GALAXY 408 handling powering, alignment, and optimization.

Join us in São Paulo, Brazil, September 14–17, for a System Design & Optimization training, presented in partnership with Audio Seminars and led by Bob McCarthy, our Director of System Optimization.

This four-day course explores loudspeaker system design and optimization. Participants will gain experience with Meyer Sound loudspeakers, MAPP 3D system prediction software, and the Galileo GALAXY processor platform while learning to make informed design decisions, validate system performance through measurement, and optimize level and phase relationships for consistent coverage. This training will be conducted in English with Portuguese translation.
