Meyer Sound Constellation Acoustic System

Product Overview

Meyer Sound Constellation is an active acoustic system that lets a single room behave like several. An array of ambient sensing microphones, high-resolution digital signal processing, and distributed loudspeakers work together to modify a venue's reverberant characteristics and redistribute sound through the space, so the same auditorium can host a lecture, a chamber ensemble, and a full orchestra without physical acoustic changes. Operators recall each acoustic setting from tablet presets instead of deploying drapes, banners, or mechanical reflectors. Creation Networks specifies, integrates, and supports Constellation as part of a complete venue audio design.

Constellation is a custom turnkey system, not an off-the-shelf product. Every installation is engineered, specified, and calibrated by Meyer Sound's Constellation team for the specific venue — microphone count, loudspeaker array, and processing all scale to room size and use case. The price shown is a starting reference point only; actual project cost depends on room volume, zone count, and scope of work.

Product Description

A variable acoustics system solves a problem most multi-purpose venues live with permanently: a room tuned for speech sounds dry under an orchestra, and a room tuned for music blurs the spoken word. Constellation addresses four distinct acoustic pathways rather than just one — performer to audience, audience to performer, performer to performer, and audience to audience — so musicians hear each other on stage and applause still reads as a shared room response.

Processing runs on Meyer Sound's NADIA platform at 96 kHz, with input and output handled by modular hardware such as the NADIA-AI12 12-channel input module. Sensing microphones and distribution loudspeakers are placed throughout the room and ceiling, and components are available in custom colors so the system disappears into the architecture. Compact enclosures such as the UP-4Slim active loudspeaker suit tight architectural placements where a full-size cabinet will not fit.

Constellation can be divided into independent zones, each with its own controllable acoustic signature — useful where a lobby, a lecture hall, and a recital space share one building, or where a bar and a dining area need different room character. Voice Lift controls the early reflections that drive intelligibility, capturing speech throughout the room and redistributing it evenly so a presenter can move freely and stay clear in every seat without a handheld or tabletop microphone.

The system is designed to sit alongside, not replace, conventional sound reinforcement. It integrates with Meyer Sound reinforcement and surround systems — point source models such as the ULTRA-X40 compact loudspeaker and low-frequency support from the USW-112P compact subwoofer — and the backbone integrates with third-party control, video, and teleconferencing platforms. Because the acoustics are electronic, a design team can reach concert-hall character in a smaller shell than a traditional hall requires, which reduces building volume and construction cost, and the system applies equally to retrofit and new construction.

Because every Constellation system is engineered to the venue, this listing is for quotation and design consultation rather than direct purchase. Contact Creation Networks with your room dimensions and use cases and we will develop a full system design with Meyer Sound.

Key Features

• Electronically variable acoustics — Reverberation time and early reflections are modified in real time, so one room supports speech, chamber music, and full orchestral program without physical modification.
• Four-pathway acoustic design — Performer-to-audience, audience-to-performer, performer-to-performer, and audience-to-audience communication are each addressed, preserving stage ensemble and audience response.
• Voice Lift — Speech is captured throughout the room and redistributed evenly by controlling early reflections, keeping presenters intelligible in every seat even when facing away.
• Preset recall from a tablet — Staff switch between acoustic environments in seconds, with no mechanical drapes, banners, or reflector systems to deploy.
• Independent zone control — The system can be split into separate zones, each carrying its own acoustic signature for adjacent spaces with different needs.
• NADIA processing at 96 kHz — High-resolution processing runs the acoustic algorithms and scales to the channel count the venue requires.
• Architecturally discreet — Microphones and loudspeakers install throughout the room with components available in custom colors to match finishes.
• Integrates with existing AV — Works alongside Meyer Sound reinforcement and surround systems and connects to third-party control, video, and teleconferencing platforms.
• Retrofit or new construction — Deploys into an existing venue or is designed into a new build, where it can reduce the room volume and construction cost needed to reach concert-hall character.
• Engineered per venue — Microphone count, loudspeaker array, and processing are specified and calibrated by Meyer Sound for the specific room rather than sold as a fixed kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Constellation a single product I can add to a cart?
No. It is a configured acoustic system engineered per venue. The listed price is a starting reference point, not a final quote. Request a quote and we will work with Meyer Sound on a full system design.

What does a Constellation system typically start at?
Small-to-mid-size rooms typically start in the neighborhood of $20,000, scaling upward significantly with room size, zone count, and microphone and loudspeaker density. Final pricing is always quoted per venue.

What hardware is included in a Constellation system?
A Constellation system combines ambient sensing microphones, NADIA processing, and distributed loudspeakers, all selected for the room. Individual components are drawn from the Meyer Sound catalog, and the exact bill of materials is set during design.

Will Constellation work with our existing sound reinforcement and conferencing systems?
Yes. Constellation is designed to operate alongside reinforcement and surround systems, and the processing backbone integrates with third-party control, video, and teleconferencing platforms, so an existing DSP, control processor, or UC codec stays in the signal chain.

Does the room need construction work?
Constellation replaces physical acoustic treatment with electronics, so it deploys in existing venues as well as new builds. Installation is still an infrastructure project — microphone and loudspeaker placement, cable pathways, and rack space are all part of the design.

Who commissions and calibrates the system?
Meyer Sound's Constellation team engineers and calibrates every system for the specific venue. Creation Networks handles the integration around it: system design coordination, installation, rack build, and ongoing support.

What warranty and support come with it?
Warranty and service terms are set by Meyer Sound per project and confirmed in writing with your quote. Creation Networks provides nationwide installation and post-installation support on the wider AV system.
