“The recent Meyer Sound training and product sessions provided me with some deeper insight into the company and their no compromise approach to loudspeaker systems engineering,’ says Lee Thomson, technical sales consultant for Meyer Sound at Prosound. “The sessions showed me how advanced Meyer Sound is in terms of loudspeaker technology development and it was encouraging to see the solutions that Meyer Sound are able to supply to clients where other systems fall short. It is really a privilege to be involved with such a dedicated and genuinely well-educated team of people at Meyer Sound.”
