This week, Bob McCarthy, Director of System Optimization, and Josh Dorn-Ferhmann, Senior Technical Support Specialist for Meyer Sound, join the Signal to Noise crew for a wide-ranging conversation, beginning with their work designing the in-the-round stadium system for Ed Sheeran's + – = ÷ x ("Mathematics") Tour. They discuss the unique challenges proposed by the rigging and infrastructure, and Bob talks about what he learned designing a system around a brand-new loudspeaker product PANTHER, by Meyer Sound.

Josh and Bob talk about the evolution of networked audio protocols, share their journeys through the industry and offer advice for newcomers.  Bob candidly reflects on his pioneering work, the pursuit of knowledge, and imposter syndrome.
