d&b ArrayCalc
System design and simulation software for d&b loudspeaker systems: array geometry, splay angles, predicted coverage, rigging load and the amplifier setup that follows from it.
What to watch for
The prediction assumes the array is hung where the drawing says. Real trim heights and real venue geometry are what actually determines coverage, so remeasure rather than trusting the plot.
The rigging load numbers it produces are for the loudspeaker array only. They are an input to a rigging plan, not a rigging plan.
ArrayCalc designs the system; R1 controls it. Both are needed, and the handoff between them is where configurations get lost.
Typical use
- Designing a d&b array before it is hung
- Producing rigging load figures for the venue
- Exporting amplifier configuration to R1
