MILO TEC Award Caps Strong Meyer Sound Showing at AES
Meyer Sound celebrated its 25th anniversary in style at the117th Audio Engineering Society (AES) convention held in San Francisco in October. After a banner year of increased sales and well-received new products, the company rolled into the convention with a powerful presence for the AES’s first San Francisco convention in six years and walked out of it with its fifth TEC (Technical Excellence and Creativity) award, awarded to the MILO high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker for being best in Sound Reinforcement Loudspeaker Technology at the 20th annual awards show.
Previous TEC awards have been given to the SIM source independent measurement system, HD-1 high definition audio monitor, PSW-6 cardioid subwoofer and UPM-1P ultra-compact high coverage loudspeaker.
The award took its place on Meyer Sound’s booth the day after the TEC event next to the company’s previous four awards, which were on display there. MILO’s nomination was the 19th that the company has received in the TEC Awards’ 20 years.
The day before MILO’s triumph, the original UPA-1 arrayable loudspeaker was inducted into the TECnology Hall of Fame in front of a select crowd at a small ceremony MC’ed by Mix magazine editorial director George Petersen and famed engineer/producer George Massenburg. John Meyer accepted the honorary plaque and spoke about the UPA-1’s origin.
As Meyer Sound’s past was honored, its future was hailed, as the company had no sooner announced its Galileo 616 digital loudspeaker management system than it was awarded a PAR Excellence award by Pro Audio Review as the sound reinforcement product at the show having the most potential. The Galileo 616 is slated to ship in Q1 2005.
