City Winery Selects Meyer Sound M¹elodie Line Arrays for a New World
Entertainment Experience in New York City

City Winery has emerged as a unique feast for the senses since its debut in
Manhattan¹s highly selective SoHo district in December 2008. A
21,000-square-foot epicenter combining winemaking, gourmet dining, and live
music, City Winery stands out from the crowded culinary scene with a
world-class music venue reinforced by the award-winning M¹elodie� line array
loudspeaker system from Meyer Sound.

City Winery Founder and CEO Michael Dorf specified the M¹elodie after
successfully employing Meyer Sound systems in the famed Knitting Factory
live venues that he formerly owned and operated. ³Meyer Sound is the best,
period,² Dorf says. ³At City Winery, we¹re using the definitive glassware,
the most exclusive cheeses‹we¹re only working with the elite. As a home for
international acts, when you let them know you have a Meyer Sound system,
you never have anyone say, ŒI have to bring my own.¹ We¹re a Meyer venue,
and there¹s nothing to improve on.²

A warm, open, and airy space, City Winery hangs four M¹elodie line array
loudspeakers on both sides of the stage, yielding uncommonly rewarding
results. ³The M¹elodie has exactly what we were looking for: It doesn¹t blow
away the people in the front, and it still can reach to people 75 feet
back,² says Dorf. ³The vocal clarity is precise, deep, rich, and it sounds
very true. For instrumentation we get a full, rich sound‹anything plugged in
is coming out very accurately.²

The system was designed by Ed Greer, general manager of operations at City
Winery, in collaboration with Meyer Sound Tech Support, and installed by
Brooklyn, NY-based Music First Productions. The M¹elodie-based solution
incorporates two Meyer Sound UPQ-1P wide coverage loudspeakers which anchor
left and right fills for the far sides of the wide room, while frontfill is
provided by three M1D-SM loudspeakers, a version of the M1D line array
loudspeaker with alternate end plates for single-mount configurations with
the M1D-MUB single mount U-bracket. The design also includes two 600-HP
subwoofers, four UM-1P stage monitors, eight MM-4XP self-powered miniature
loudspeakers and a Galileo� loudspeaker management system. Together, the
components have created a compelling sonic experience for artists such as
Joan Osborne, Suzanne Vega, Lenny Kaye, Boz Scaggs, Philip Glass, Rufus
Wainwright, and many more.

³To have many of these performers come in and say, ŒThis is one of the
greatest musical performance rooms that I¹ve played in for many years¹ is a
very high compliment,² Dorf reflects. ³City Winery spent a lot of time
thinking about both the audience and the artist experience. We¹ve nailed it
with Meyer Sound.²
