Known in the audio and recording industry for manufacturing a variety of professional tools from audio control systems to electroacoustic architecture, 迈耶的声音 has spent more than 40 years developing products that deliver live sound to an audience. 学生 studying music and recording at 满帆 gain hands-on experience with the industry’s leading tools, including those from 迈耶的声音.

Throughout a long-standing relationship with 满帆, 迈耶的声音 has greatly contributed to campus spaces, even providing the very first PA system used in the early years of the show production curriculum. “Going all the way back to 1989, we've had a relationship with Meyer,” shares 显示生产 Program Manager David Dean.

今天, 满帆 is expanding on this decades-long relationship by serving as a venue for Meyer’s popular clinics, where professionals and industry partners attend to learn more about new technology, 项目, 和更多的 offered by the celebrated manufacturer.

这些事件, traditionally exclusive to Meyer’s industry partners – including Disney, 支持的声音, and PRG Gear – are now accessible to 满帆 students and faculty.

“这些事件 provide continuing education credit training for our teachers, number one. 2号, it provides our students with an awesome opportunity to get trained by a reputable manufacturer in the industry,大卫说。.

Another important bonus for students attending these events is the opportunity to network with industry professionals. “It's not about dropping your resume everywhere all the time," says David. "It's about who you know. You're always like two people from knowing everybody in production. 这些事件, they provide fertile ground for the students to develop their networking with real professionals in the room.”

An acoustic clinic with well-known engineer Bob McCarthy – whose portfolio includes work with Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, 迪士尼主题公园, and the Ohio Stadium on the Ohio State campus – kicked off the partnership in February, giving students exclusive access to a leader in the audio industry.

Meyer recently returned to campus for another event focused on Portable System Deployment, where students were able to attend and learn more about how to deploy portable live sound systems of any size utilizing 迈耶的声音 solutions including loudspeakers, 操纵硬件, 和更多的.

“This supplements the lecture and lab material they're already getting," says David. "You couldn't get a better alignment for manufacturer training and what we teach in 显示生产.”
