Meyer Sound Announces Promotions and New Hire for Digital Products Team

	Richard Bugg, Jason Rauhoff, and Robert Mele

Meyer Sound has announced two key promotions in the digital products team: Richard Bugg is now audio show control product manager and Jason Rauhoff takes over many of Bugg's former responsibilities as the company's new senior digital products support specialist. In addition, Cirque du Soleil veteran Robert Mele has joined the support staff as digital products field support specialist.

"These new appointments are a direct result of the rapidly growing acceptance of our digital products," comments John McMahon, Meyer Sound's executive director of operations and digital products. "This personnel expansion ensures that our technology remains the leading choice of the creative community pushing to transform sonic experiences worldwide."

Bugg has more than 12 years of experience in technical support for Meyer Sound show control systems, and has been a principal seminar leader on the topic in Meyer Sound's education program. In his new position, he will work closely with R&D, marketing, sales, and technical services departments to identify needs and develop new show control technology solutions.

Prior to joining Meyer Sound in 2010 as technical support specialist for digital products, Rauhoff accumulated 17 years of experience as a recording engineer, front-of-house mixer, programmer, and sound designer. His credits include several Las Vegas resident Cirque du Soleil productions as well as Dragon's Treasure, a multimedia spectacular at City of Dreams, Macau.

Mele worked in the Cirque du Soleil audio department for 14 years. His credits include La Nouba in Orlando, Florida, the Corteo touring show, and two resident Las Vegas, Nevada productions, CRISS ANGEL Believe and The Beatles LOVE.

Rauhoff and Mele are based at Meyer Sound's Berkeley, California headquarters. Bugg is based in Southern California.

Covering the audio chain from loudspeaker management and monitoring, acoustical prediction, show control, and audio networking to variable acoustics, Meyer Sound digital products have supported theatrical spectacles and diverse installations around the world. The company's newest generation of digital audio technology, the D-Mitri digital audio platform has been featured in recent projects such as Berkeley's Comal, the first restaurant to install a Constellation acoustic system, and artist Anri Sala's multimedia installation in Paris.
