Operating Instructions — LINA
Compact Linear Line Array Loudspeaker
The LINA compact linear line array loudspeaker, shown in the figure below, excels in array performance while providing exceptional high-frequency headroom, phase coherence, and consistent coverage. Its lightweight 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 audio-visual systems.

LINA is also ideally suited for front-fill and under-balcony applications that must attain precise high-frequency vertical coverage with a single loudspeaker or short array. In addition to standalone implementations, LINA can also be used in a LEOPARD system as a supplemental fill loudspeaker.
LINA evolved from the highly successful MINA loudspeaker. Meyer Sound optimized LINA using the state-of-the-art technology that made the LEO™ family an award-winning product line: self-powered design, linear response, and precise directional control. Like LEOPARD, LINA loudspeakers offer Native Mode, which yields excellent system performance right out of the box with minimal external processing.
LINA features an innovative, 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.
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 cap- tive GuideALinks™, which are compatible with MINA (same external dimensions) and can create splay angles from 1 to 11 degrees. Rigging options are shared with MINA and include the MG-MINA/LINA/750-LFC Multipurpose Grid (shown in the first figure below), the MCF-MINA/LINA Caster Frame (shown in the second figure below), the MYA-MINA/LINA Yoke, and the MUB-MINA/LINA U-Bracket.
Entire LINA family systems should be designed with Meyer Sound’s MAPP prediction software, which effectively predicts system SPL and coverage requirements. Using the Meyer Sound MDM-832 distribution module to route AC power, balanced audio, and RMS™ to multiple LINA loudspeakers makes configuring a system much easier and faster.
