Portable System Deployment | Full Sail University | March 2025

This training provides the essentials that today’s users need for enhanced deployment of Meyer Sound portable live-sound systems, regardless of system size or application, including a basic understanding of networked audio.

Attendees acquire a working knowledge of the entire process, from initial system design to final verification, and everything in between. All topics are taught and demonstrated in practice — complete with loudspeakers as well as rigging hardware — with emphasis on Meyer Sound’s “precision toolset”. A suite of tools that support and streamline the entire workflow from design to deployment, verification, calibration, and system-health monitoring. Including the MAPP 3D System Design Tool, Galileo GALAXY Network Platform, Compass Control Software, Compass Go, Low-Mid Beam Control, RMServer, and Nebra Connectivity & Monitoring Tool, as well as Milan AVB networking, and FFT‑based transfer‑function analysis.

Though this course focuses primarily on live sound, the content is suitable for anyone involved in deploying sound systems, either portable or installed. Whether you are an aspiring student, or a seasoned professional with decades of experience, equip yourself with the tools and techniques to take your ideal sound system from concept to reality.

His award-winning book, Sound Systems: Design and Optimization, now in its third edition, has sold over 15,000 copies in three languages. USITT presented Bob with the Distinguished Achievement in Sound Award in 2014. Bob is well known in the field of audio education and delivered the keynote address at the 50th AES Conference, which was the first ever dedicated to audio education.

Costandina Daros is a graduate of UC Irvine’s MFA Sound Design program. Her love of sound started in Theatrical Sound Design and has been growing ever since. Some of her favorite past designs include Birds of North America (The Odyssey), The Little Prince (South Coast Repertory), and her MFA thesis show Rent (UC Irvine) which featured a Meyer Spacemap Go System with Ultra-X40s to track the vocals. In her role as Meyer Sound’s Associate Technical Instructor she looks forward to sharing her knowledge while making learning accessible to all.
