With an awe-inspiring lineup of more than 50 artists and musicians performing live at one of 10 venues, the festival is expected to attract in excess of a quarter-of-a-million visitors from around the globe over the duration of the 16-day event, held from July 7-22. Continuing its supporting role in the Montreux Jazz Festival, Meyer Sound will provide a wide array of its pro-audio products in its 13th year as a festival sponsor, supplying more than 350 Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeaker systems which will be integrated into every festival venue. From Miles Davis Hall and Stravinski Auditorium to Festival-Off and the Montreux Jazz Café, attendees will have an opportunity to listen to some of the world's leading artists on the latest Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeaker systems. Artists taking to the stage this year include Macy Gray (July 8), Lou Reed (July 13) and Diana Krall (July 18).

Festival OFF Setup For crowds ranging upwards of 1,000 attendees, the Festival OFF venue features four MSL-4s mated with four DS-4Ps which carry mid-bass through high frequencies with tight directional control. The four 650-P subwoofers in use produce the bass that fills out the bottom without the excessive boominess that can annoy ears near and far. Completing the audio configuration are two UPA-2P fills that extend coverage out to the side but drop off well before reaching beyond the defined audience area. System Designs Discover what goes into the Montreux Jazz Festival pro-audio system designs as Meyer Sound takes a look at four PA systems at the festival and gives you a visual rendering and technical perspective of the venues.
