Steve Ellison is Meyer Sound’s Application Director, Digital Products. Ellison designed both the automation structure and the unique SpaceMap algorithm that have been incorporated into four product series — including Meyer Sound’s Matrix3 and D-Mitri — to allow multichannel panning of simultaneous sound sources to arbitrary loudspeaker arrangements. He was also instrumental in the development of Meyer Sound’s Constellation Acoustic System.

Ellison has worked with numerous design teams to help integrate large-scale immersive sound systems into their facilities that incorporate both multi-channel sound diffusion and active acoustics. His notable projects include King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Asia Pacific Center for Security Studies (APCSS), UC San Diego, Louisiana State University, Northwestern University and facilities for the San Luis Obispo, Newport, and San Francisco Symphony orchestras.

Ellison has published articles and presented papers about multichannel sound and active acoustics with organizations including the Acoustical Society of America, International Congress on Acoustics, International Symposium on Musical and Room Acoustics, Audio Engineering Society, and Reproduced Sound.
