Fox Sound Service has purchased the first Meyer Sound
LYON linear sound reinforcement system in Italy. Adding to Fox Sound\’s
large Meyer Sound inventory of more than 170 loudspeakers, the LYON system has
supported a range of classical, rock, and dance events across the country.
\”I was extremely impressed with the technical
advantages of linear sound reinforcement offered by Meyer Sound\’s LEO linear large-scale sound reinforcement system, but
we had been waiting for a more compact version better suited to the Italian
market,\” explains Carlo Volpe, technical director and co-owner of Fox
Sound. \”LYON is exactly what we need. It has the performance and
versatility ideal for any production, from open-air classical music
presentations to jazz festivals and rock concerts. My partners and I are proud
to be the first in Italy to supply this new technology.\”
Fox Sound\’s purchase comprises 20 LYON linear line array
loudspeakers, eight 1100-LFC low-frequency control elements, a Galileo Callisto
loudspeaker management system, and RMServers for the Compass RMS remote
monitoring system.
Since delivery, LYON has been chosen to reinforce the
orchestra and chorus of Accademia Nazionale di
Santa Cecilia for an outdoor concert in Rome\’s
historic Piazza del Campidoglio, designed by Michelangelo. The system has also
supported events such as Festival Mozart and Traffic Festival in Torino, Verde Vento (Green
Wind) Festival in Cassino, and the Perdonanza
Celestiniana (Celestine Pardon) celebration in L\’Aquila.
\”After 25 years of providing Meyer Sound technology
to the Italian market, it was time to take a major step ahead with LYON,\”
says Walter Alfonsetti, co-owner of Fox Sound. \”LYON complements our
existing range of Meyer Sound products, and will play an important role in the
future of our company.\”
The LYON system sale was handled by Meyer Sound\’s Italian
distributor, Linear Sound, a division of Eko Music Group.
Located in Poggio Picenze, Fox Sound Service supplies a
wide range of event production technology rentals throughout the Italian
peninsula. Events served by the company include classical open-air concerts,
civic celebrations, corporate presentations, and summer music festivals,
including 25 years with the prestigious Pescara International
Jazz Festival
