Oscar Statuette Copyright AMPAS

grandMA may not have made it onstage at the recent Academy Awards telecast, but it was grandMA’s night to shine, nonetheless.

A.C.T Lighting is the exclusive distributor of grandMA in North America.

“It was an enormous undertaking, to say the least,” reports Rudolph. “I regularly program multiple media servers with grandMA2 – it’s my main console – but I hadn’t done anything of this size: The entire set at the Oscars was projection. We had 34 Hippotizer HD units outputting 53 discrete active outputs and some spares with control from the grandMA2 light console. In addition to the screens, we also took care more

LMS Virtual.Lab Acoustics lets you design things you couldn’t actually try physically, like cutting planes through the model to see what happens to the sound field.

Combining the traditional Meyer Sound experience with cutting-edge technology falls into the lap of Perrin Meyer, son of the founders John and Helen Meyer.

“We can exercise much tighter quality control on our own floor than if we were to sub-contract the work abroad. In addition to quality assurance, we also have much more flexibility in analyzing more
