Meyer Sound

Three nights of music, community, and live sound came together at the historic Legend Valley venue in Thornville, Ohio, for this year’s Dark Star Jubilee.

Headlined by Dark Star Orchestra, with additional performances from Little Feat, Dogs in a Pile, and more. The weekend brought together fans for another memorable gathering that delivered an exceptional sonic experience.

Powered by our PANTHER line array and supplied by our friends at DBS Audio Systems Inc., the system delivered powerful, clear coverage across the festival grounds, supporting every performance with precision and consistency from front to back.

"The weekend went very well, with all visiting engineers extremely happy mixing on PANTHER," said Dave Brotman, President of DBS Audio Systems Inc. "It's rewarding when a visiting engineer turns on his or her music to hear the rig. The same expression is on their face every time: 'This is gonna be great.'"

When visitors enter "Matriclysm: An Archaeology of Connections Lost," a multidisciplinary exhibition by visual artist and singer-songwriter Jewel at Salone Verde in Venice, Italy, they move through a series of galleries. In one of them stands "Heart of the Ocean," an eight-foot resin and steel sculpture featuring 60,000 LEDs that turn live sea data into a 12-minute loop of an ever-evolving immersive soundscape, delivered by Meyer Sound loudspeakers. In another, Meyer Sound loudspeakers create a hypnotic sonic environment reflecting the data from the Pleiades constellation.

The 79th Annual Tony Award for Best Sound Design Of A Musical goes to ’s ’s !

We are excited to support Tony Award-nominated sound designer Brian Ronan and his acclaimed work on The Rocky Horror Show.

Brian’s sound design helped bring the cult classic’s electrifying energy to life, delivering the power, precision, and musical impact needed to immerse audiences in every unforgettable moment.

“By adding LEOPARDs, UPQs, and 900-LFCs, I was able to beef up the bones of a Meyer Sound system already installed in Studio 54. The result was a level of clarity and power that fit the room perfectly and enhanced the audience's experience at The Rocky Horror Show, which is what it’s all about!” — Brian Ronan, Sound Designer

We’re honored to support Brian’s Tony Award-nominated work, helping deliver the clarity, coverage, and impact needed to elevate the audience experience and bring the world of The Rocky Horror Show to life.

Sandbox Festival came alive with powerful sound thanks to an impressive deployment from Center Stage, featuring our combination of PANTHER line arrays and 2100-LFC low-frequency control elements delivering impactful coverage across the event.

9 stages performing simultaneously, 72 hours of production, 72 hours of music, and 72+ artists with LEOPARD line arrays supporting the experience throughout the festival, and 1100-LFC low-frequency control elements, along with our family of point-source loudspeakers, the ULTRA-X80 and ULTRA-X42, MJF-210 stage monitors, and more, helping ensure consistent clarity, coverage, and energy from stage to crowd.

Magued Makram, Managing Partner of Modern Touch, added: “We are proud to see Center Stage putting Meyer Sound’s newest PANTHER and 2100-LFC system to work at this scale. Our role is to make world-class sound technology available to leading production companies in Egypt, and Center Stage delivered an outstanding result at Sandbox Festival.”

It was great to see these solutions working together to help elevate the festival experience. Thank you to Center Stage and everyone involved for making it happen!

We are excited to see our solutions supporting Tony Award-nominated sound designer Kai Harada on two acclaimed Broadway productions, Cats: The Jellicle Ball and Ragtime. Kai’s sound designs bring both productions to life with remarkable clarity, impact, and emotional depth.

“Selecting Meyer Sound speakers for two very different styles of shows—Lincoln Center Theater's Ragtime and the Broadway transfer of Cats: The Jellicle Ball—was a no-brainer for me; I've used Meyer Sound loudspeakers in all sorts of venues in all sorts of situations, and I knew that so long as I had good speaker locations, the results would be exactly what I expected—even mixing and matching legacy cabinets with newer models wasn't an issue. Both shows required so much clarity throughout the entire frequency spectrum over a huge dynamic range, and I was very happy with the results.” — Kai Harada, Sound Designer

We’re honored to help support the artistry behind these Tony Award-nominated productions, ensuring every note, lyric, and dramatic moment reaches audiences as intended.
