Meyer Sound has introduced two additions to its line of self‑powered loudspeakers: the TIGRA line array loudspeaker and the 1800‑LFC low‑frequency control element. The products extend the company’s next‑generation platform into smaller form factors while retaining characteristics found in its larger systems.

Both models sit below the PANTHER large‑format linear array and the 2100‑LFC low‑frequency control element, offering reduced size and weight for medium to large‑scale system applications. According to Meyer Sound, the new tier is intended for venues such as performing arts centres, music venues, houses of worship, corporate environments, and other spaces where scalable deployment is required. The systems are designed to integrate with larger Meyer Sound arrays for consistent performance across different project sizes.

“PANTHER and 2100-LFC showed that power, clarity, and efficiency can all scale together,” says Andy Davies, Meyer Sound’s senior director of product management. “TIGRA and 1800-LFC bring that approach into smaller, lighter packages that unlock even more applications.”

Meyer Sound states that utilisation efficiencies were a key consideration in development, with the aim of enabling rental companies and venue operators to use the same inventory for club shows, mid‑sized touring, outdoor events, and installed systems. “When performance fits the shows that happen most often, that’s real value,” Davies says. “TIGRA and 1800-LFC let users make smarter use of the same inventory.”

The TIGRA‑L model delivers a maximum SPL of 146 dB (and 140.5 dB AES75 maximum linear SPL) while maintaining controlled performance even at close listening distances. TIGRA arrays also feature a controlled cardioid low‑frequency pattern similar to PANTHER systems.

The 1800‑LFC builds on the low‑frequency capabilities of the 2100‑LFC, offering a compact footprint, an operating range of 30 Hz to 125 Hz, and a 134 dB AES75 maximum linear SPL. The unit is intended for scalable use in theatres, medium-sized arenas, and similar venues.

Both products incorporate Meyer Sound’s GEN‑1 technology platform, which integrates signal processing, control, networking, and a dedicated Galileo GALAXY output channel directly into the loudspeaker. Systems support both fully redundant Milan AVB networking and analogue inputs, allowing hybrid signal paths.

With processing housed inside the loudspeaker, setups can reduce reliance on external racks and simplify deployment. The company notes that crews can configure analogue or networked systems using the same hardware, with built‑in failover options. Early installations include performing arts centres, music venues, sports arenas, corporate environments, and worship spaces.

The product release aligns with Meyer Sound’s roadmap toward unified system workflows.

“By integrating power, control, and workflow simplicity directly into the loudspeaker, we give system designers a consistent way to work,” says Meyer Sound Senior Vice President John McMahon. “As venues and productions evolve, systems built on GEN‑1 are prepared to evolve with them—delivering consistent results with greater efficiency.”
