Waikiki Shell's 18-Year-Old UPA a Testament to Meyer Sound System Longevity (Live Performance Venues)

Nestled below the Diamond Head mountain bordering Waikiki Beach, Honolulu's Waikiki Shell is truly an outdoor venue in paradise. In 1991, BAUS Engineering installed eight Meyer Sound UPA-1A loudspeakers here, sitting atop poles night and day as permanent lawn delays. For loudspeakers, this was no 18-year holiday. These UPA-1A loudspeakers have braved some of the most treacherous weather conditions, including the Hurricane Iniki in 1992, and are still performing like the first day they were installed.

San Francisco Opera Simulcast Breaks New Ground with HD Video and Meyer Sound (Corporate A/V)

In order to bring the magic of live opera to a larger audience, in 2006 the San Francisco Opera launched a pioneering outreach program that aims to make opera accessible to a broad audience through a series of live, high-definition simulcasts of performances from San Francisco's War Memorial Opera House, offered to the public at no charge. After two previous simulcasts attracted audiences of 8,000 and 14,000 for simulcasts to outdoor locations, San Francisco Opera general director David Gockley brought the simulcasts indoors this summer for a presentation of Mozart's Don Giovanni. Held at four different venues around the Bay Area, the simulcasts all featured large-format HD video displays paired with pristine sound provided by Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeaker systems.

Meyer Sound's MILO in the Ring at Spain's Plaza de Toros Las Ventas 

In the nearly 75 years since "Hortelano" became the first bull to meet his fate in the ring, Madrid's La Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas has become so emblematic of Spain's love of bullfighting that it has been called "the world's most important bullring." This past fall, José Luis Moreno directed his Miramón Mendi production company in executing an ambitious project: transforming Las Ventas into a colossal theatre with seating for 10,000 people for an Antología de la Zarzuela, or "Zarzuela Anthology."
