d&b audiotechnik has announced v7 of its ArrayCalc simulation software.

The additional algorithms in the update address the requirements of a d&b-style simulation and planning tool for a complete installation project as well as corporate and A/V rental markets. Until now building a simulation and performance forecast for a point source system is complex, and made more so by hybrid designs that also contain line arrays. This is addressed in v7.

‘For any installer or integrator, ArrayCalc Version 7 offers the ability to perform acoustic simulations quickly, easily and intuitively,’ says Ralf Zuleeg of d&b audiotechnik’s Education & Application Support Department. ‘One can now choose from a selection of d&b point source loudspeakers, most notably the xS-Series from the White range, and Black range Q and E-Series loudspeakers. The White range has been developed to address the complete demands of integrated sound reinforcement in all manner and sizes of venues, not just clubs and bars, but any public space that requires a complete high quality listening experience.’

The release date for the new version software will be announced in January 2013.
