Bob McCarthy Gives Meyer Sound Design Seminar in Korea
In Seoul, South Korea, an enthusiastic group of 105 audio professionals absorbed lessons from Meyer Sound Senior Education Consultant Bob McCarthy as he presented a seminar entitled “The Optimized Design.” The 3-day class, extracted for the occasion from the five-day SIM 3 Training and System Design seminar, gives a concentrated overview of the theory and principles required to design complex sound systems in a way that facilitates optimal alignment in any acoustical environment. McCarthy’s presentation featured new material developed while writing his forthcoming book, Sound Systems: Design and Optimization, scheduled for publication in October by Focal Press.
The seminar — one of a series of high-level professional training classes staged by Meyer Sound on an ongoing basis at locations all around the globe — was organized by Meyer Sound’s Korean distributor, Avix Tech, and personally facilitated by the company’s managing director, Steve Kim. The seminar sessions were held in a meeting room at Seoul’s Sejong Cultural Center.
“This was one of the largest groups ever to attend a seminar of mine,” notes McCarthy, who has given scores of educational seminars since launching Meyer Sound’s famous ‘SIM School’ (the precursor of today’s Meyer Sound seminar series) in the 1980s, “and they were certainly one of the most attentive and enthusiastic audiences I’ve seen. Obviously they were hungry for this material.”
Kim concurs, though he was not surprised by the large turnout. “Bob McCarthy has done a series of lectures over the past three years and has become very popular here in Korea. This was a unique opportunity for the participants to design systems, line arrays in particular, and understand how their design affects final tuning.”
Seminar participants represented a broad range of professional roles, including FOH engineers, acoustical consultants, installation contractors, and staff audio technicians from performing arts halls and theme parks. Most hailed from the Seoul metropolitan area, though many had traveled from other parts of the Korean peninsula.
