Meyer Sound LINA Compact Linear Line Array Loudspeaker

The LINA™ compact linear line array loudspeaker excels in array performance while providing exceptional high frequency headroom, phase coherence, and consistent coverage. Its light weight and small size are ideal for venues that require a low-profile, high-power, curvilinear array system with exceptional fidelity, such as small theaters, theme parks, houses of worship, and AV systems.

Single cabinet or short stack implementations of LINA are also well-suited for front-fill and under-balcony applications that must attain precise high-frequency vertical coverage. In addition to standalone implementations, LINA is useful in LEOPARD™ systems as a supplemental fill loudspeaker.

LINA evolved from the highly successful MINA™ loudspeaker, now optimized using the state-of-the-art technology that made the LEO® family an award-winning product line. LINA delivers the same signature and advantages of self-powered design, linear response, and precise directional control. Like LEOPARD, LINA loudspeakers offer Native Mode, a configuration optimized to yield excellent system performance right out of the box with minimal external processing.

LINA features an innovative, newly designed, highly efficient class D amplifier that reproduces any sound source with linearity over a wide dynamic range, from speech and classical music to rock and EDM. LINA faithfully reproduces audio with tremendous power, superior intelligibility, and extremely low distortion.

Drive LINA systems with Meyer Sound’s Galileo® GALAXYNetwork Platform, which provides 24 bit, 96 kHz audio, matrix routing, alignment, and processing for array components. Using the Meyer Sound MDM-832 distribution module to route AC power, balanced audio, and optional RMS™ module signals to multiple LINA loudspeakers further enhances the portability and ease of configuring a system.

For low-frequency extension, LINA pairs with Meyer Sound’s 750-LFC low-frequency control element, which can be flown in a LINA array without transition hardware. Like LINA, the 750-LFC is efficient and versatile, with an excellent power-to-size ratio. Applications that require more low-frequency headroom can use Meyer Sound’s 900-LFC, which also integrates with LINA systems.

LINA includes Meyer Sound’s QuickFly® rigging with captive GuideALinks™ that can create splay angles from 1 to 11 degrees. A range of available rigging accessories make LINA a versatile solution for a variety of applications.

To design entire LINA family systems, use Meyer Sound’s MAPP™ System Design Tool, as it effectively anticipates system SPL and coverage requirements. This useful tool also helps verify rigging load ratings.

Meyer Sound coats the premium multi-ply birch LINA cabinet with a slightly textured black finish. Other options include weather protection and custom color finishes for fixed installations and applications with specific cosmetic requirements.
