Major Updates Announced for Meyer Sound MAPP XT and Compass Software Programs

In the Compass control software release (4.3.4), the most significant advancement is the ability for users to open a MAPP XT project in Compass and have it automatically populate settings for output processing, delay integration, array correction and labeling of channels, the company says. Also included are delay integration for several of Meyer Sound's newest loudspeaker products, including the UP-4slim ultra-compact installation loudspeaker and the newly released USW-210P compact narrow subwoofer. In addition, delay integration has been expanded to include the Ashby ceiling loudspeakers and the UP-4XP ultra-compact loudspeaker.

The new Compass release (4.3.4) supports the following firmware versions in Meyer Sound products controlled by the software: GALAXY 1.3.4, RMServer 2.5.0 and CAL 1.5.0. The RMServer 2.5.0 version now includes support for the new USW-210P subwoofer. A number of bug fixes also were addressed in the new releases.
