Prosound recently held a two day Meyer Sound Line Array Theory and Best Practice
training event in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The training was headed by Chris Mead, Technical Support Manager at Meyer Sound
Middle East, and offered theory during the first day of training, with a practical
session on the second day.

“Education is very important for Meyer Sound, because we make premium products
and a lot of research and development and testing and everything else that goes
into making a loud speaker,’ Mead said. “It is obviously then very important that
the customers who are setting up and using the speaker systems then set them up
correctly and to use our systems to the best performance possible for the
system.’

Prosound’s Technical Director Mark Malherbe emphasised the importance of
continuous learning in the industry and why attending training courses like is always
beneficial.

“I always try to keep learning new things in the industry, especially when it comes
to new products,’ he said. “When you stop learning you should leave this
industry.’

According to Malherbe, this training also offers a good opportunity to bring people in
the industry together for something worthwhile.

Mauricio Saint Martin, Director of Middle East Sales at Meyer Sound, was also at the
event.

“This training is not about a specific product, but rather a more general training of
speakers,’ Martin said.

According to Victor Vermaak, Pro Audio Sales at Prosound, industry professionals
can look forward to similar training events, which will be held in the near future.

“I hope everyone found the training of high value and I’m sure everyone would feel
their time was well spent by attending. We were all privileged to have the likes of
Chris Mead share his technical expertise and insights with us,’ he said.

“A massive thank you goes out to Robyn, Alistair and Johann at Splitbeam JHB for
supplying the Meyer Sound M1D array, Galileo and UPQ’s for the JHB Training. The
same thanks goes out to Tom Gordon, Nell Kirsten and all at Gearhouse Cape Town
for supplying the Meyer Sound Mica, 700HP’s and Galileo out of their rental stock,
not to mention the projector and screen, as well as supplying The Grand West Arena
