LYON OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

through a patented REM
®
manifold. The manifold’s smooth
radiating characteristics afford tight vertical coverage. The
low-frequency section includes two long-excursion cone
drivers, also proprietary, capable of withstanding high,
continuous output levels. Precise phase and magnitude
alignment between low- and high-frequency drivers yields
consistent and well-behaved system responses.
The unit’s onboard power amplifier operates at nominal
voltages from 85–134 V AC and 165–264 V AC at 50–60 Hz.
TruPower
®
limiting ensures maximum driver protection,
minimizing power compression while yielding high constant
output under high continuous and peak power conditions.
The amplifier, control electronics, and power supply are
contained in a single field-replaceable module located on the
rear of the cabinet.
Meyer Sound’s RMS
™
remote monitoring system comes
standard with all LYON loudspeakers and provides
comprehensive monitoring of system parameters on a Mac
®
or Windows
®
-based computer. Convenient XLR 5-pin
connectors allow the use of composite cables carrying both
RMS and balanced audio signals. XLR 3-pin audio
connectors are also available.
LYON offers intuitive rigging with captive GuideALinks
™
that
can be set to the desired splay angles while cabinets rest in
caster frames. The optional MTG-LYON top grid (Figure 2)
flies arrays of up to 22 LYONs at a 5:1 safety factor (with
some restrictions—always use MAPP to verify load ratings).
The optional MTF-LEO/LYON transition frame flies LYONs at
the bottom of LEO-M arrays. Stacks of up to four LYON
cabinets can be securely transported with the optional
MCF-LYON caster frame; durable nylon covers,
accommodating stacks of two, three, or four units, are
available to protect the cabinets during transport.
The LYON cabinet is constructed of premium multi-ply birch
and coated with a slightly textured black finish. A powder-
coated, hex-stamped, steel grille with acoustical black mesh
protects the unit’s drivers. Other options include weather
protection and custom color finishes for fixed installations
and applications with specific cosmetic requirements.
