Portable System Deployment | Full Sail University | April 2026

9:30AM - 5:30PM

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, 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.
