Sound Product Of The Year, Loudspeaker: Meyer Sound Mina

Sound designer Shannon Slaton reviewed the Meyer Sound MINA when it was introduced last year and noted, "Don’t let the size fool you."

The baby of Meyer’s MILO range, it’s slightly more than a foot-and-a-half long and weighs only 47lbs. "It has more power than your typical trap box in a fraction of the size," continued Slaton. "You could hide this little one in a fake rock and blow out some amazing sounds at theme park patrons." Boasting up to 128dB SPL over its wide 100° horizontal coverage area, it’s a good choice for smaller theatres, according to one of our judges, who notes it can both do "impressive surround effects" while also "evenly covering the smallest house."
