Background

About Kyle Matheson

I started my career in live production including theatre, dance, live music and specialty events. My first introduction to the audiovisual indusrty came by working with touring productions and with the local professional theatre. I did an apprenticeship in Technical Direction with WCTC that lead to technical direction positions at various theatres. In 2001, I was hired to participate in the construction and opening of the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre as its technical director. This theatre was a beta-space for the Variable Room Acoustic System that was later acquired by Meyer Sound. My participation in the installation, modification and deployment of this system sparking a lifelong interest in acoustics, audio calibration and the use of technology to enhance the experience of participants in immersive learning and entertainment environments. At PJS Systems, I developed a role within the company that allowed for a hybrid of project management and technical expertise culminating in the position of VP, Design & Technology. This allowed me to work on a myriad of different projects, gaining valuable experience in all the different disciplines of an integrated technology solution including audio, video, control and networking. I focused on systematization of both project management and technology deployment. Under my supervision, PJS developed standardized documentation procedures, unified quotations and scopes of work, as well as an audio video calibration standard that allowed them to design, bid and implement some of the largest technology projects in Canada. During my time with PJS, I also assisted in growing the company from a four-person office in Vernon, BC, to a fifty-person operation with offices in three provinces. Now with McSquared, I am excited to continue to grow my skills in advanced audio measurement and calibration, as well as continue to develop deployment standards and standardization within enterprise grade projects.
