Meyer Sound, whose audio technology supports all of Cirque's resident productions, has expanded the company's worldwide education programme to include regular Matrix3 audio show control and CueConsole training sessions at RSD.
The RSD facility is the brainchild of Kim Scott, technical show support training manager, with Sylvain Brisebois, head of audio of Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity, coordinating the programme logistics with Jerry Placken of Meyer Sound. Other Cirque audio department leads are also involved, including Mark Dennis of KÀ, Bill Mansfield of "O", and Jason Pritchard of The Beatles LOVE.
"Having Meyer Sound seminars here in Las Vegas is valuable for LCS beginners and power users alike," says Brisebois. "For newcomers, it is an intense introduction to the foundations of LCS straight from the manufacturers. And power users greatly benefit from the dynamic exchange of ideas and programming styles."
"For over 15 years, Meyer Sound has enjoyed a close relationship with Cirque du Soleil, working closely to push the envelope of entertainment technology," says Helen Meyer, co-founder and executive vice president of Meyer Sound, "With education being one of our core values and with our large user base in Las Vegas, we are pleased to support RSD's efforts."
