Drone deployed speaker system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to configure a speaker system by performing the steps of:

• identifying a first perch location within a first listening environment based on a first geometrical model of the first listening environment;
• deploying a first drone speaker unit to the first perch location to place a first speaker at the first perch location;
• and
• causing the first speaker to output sound from the first perch location to generate a first sound field within the first listening environment.

A system for configuring speakers, comprising:

• a fleet of drone speaker units, wherein each drone speaker unit included in the fleet of drone speaker units comprises:
• at least one speaker that generates sound, and
• one or more drone components that aerially transport the at least one speaker;
• and
• a computing device, comprising:
• a memory storing a control application, and
• a processor that, when executing the control application, is configured to perform the steps of:
• deploying a fleet of drone speaker units to a first set of perch locations to populate a first listening environment with one or more speakers, and
• causing the one or more speakers to output sound from the first set of perch locations to generate a first sound field within the first listening environment.
