About Meyer Sound
Since its founding, Meyer Sound has been devotedto meeting the needs of sound reinforcement
professionals with the finest products available, the industry’s most extensive and knowledgeable
customer support, and high-level technical education.
The 1970s saw sound equipment for live performance increase in power capability, but not in
reliability or fidelity. In 1979, John and Helen Meyer established Meyer Sound to create and
support high-quality products for sound reinforcement and recording, designed to meet the
real challenges facedby audio practitioners. Today, the company’s historyshows a track record
of almost 30 years of innovation, quality, performance and support.
Meyer Sound has more than 250 employees at its Berkeley, California, headquarters and satellite
offices, including one of the largest engineering staffs (in proportion to company size) in the
audio industry. International sales and support are supplied by more than half a dozen offices
around the globe. The company works closely with professionals in all areas of sound
reinforcement, gathering information on customers’ needs and providing the tools, training,
technical support and information to enable the best experience possible for sound system
users and audiences alike. Meyer Sound products are manufactured entirely at its Berkeley
factory, where hightechnology is combined with hand craftwork.By performing core processes
in house, the company is able to exercise the control to insure its quality standards are met
and that each unit is exactly the same as the last.
John and Helen Meyer have been personally involved with the performing arts for years, which
has given them a feeling for the role of technology in the arts. Meyer Sound is often involved
directly with the performing arts at both corporate and individual levels, locally in Berkeley and
worldwide. This is one more way that the company stays in touch with the real reason for its
existence.
