Meyer Sound also provided a big assist for the two S&M shows opening San Francisco’s Chase Center in September. Bob McCarthy, David Vincent and James Edmondson helped design a 250-box setup for Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony, with an outer ring of 10 arrays in five stereo pairs of Lyon-M, Lyon-W and Leopard components. UPJuniors ringing the stage and 1100-LFC handled the low end, along with system optimization via Galileo Galaxy processing. UltraSound supported the symphony, led by conductor Edwin Outwater, with a massive mic package along with Avid Profile and Yamaha CL5 consoles. The multi-year, multi-continent “WorldWired” tour picks up again in 2020, with a series of shows planned for South America this spring followed by a final series of festival gigs North America this summer and fall.
