Spanish manufacturer Equipson has created an Acoustic Simulator for its product range that is designed to help A/V installers accurately calculate the number of loudspeakers and amplifiers needed to achieve optimum results in any given space.
This web-based tool makes its calculations by referencing a comprehensive database of Equipson loudspeakers and amplifiers. Filters are provided so that installers can choose the product with the characteristics best suited to a project. Once a choice has been made, the installer enters the dimensions of the space and the software works out how many loudspeakers are needed. The tool will also identify which amplifiers should be chosen to meet the project’s power requirements and where they are best placed to achieve the best acoustic results.
‘Installers working with Equipson PA products can save themselves a great deal of time and effort by allowing our Acoustic Simulator tool to calculate exactly what they need in a simple and automated way,’ says Equipson A/V Systems Product Manager, Javier Reolid Arocas. ‘The software is incredibly easy to use and requires very little effort on the part of the installer. It can also be tailored to suit highly specific requirements – for example an installer can state whether a PA system will be used for speech, music or both, the type of sound dispersion required and the tolerance level for background noise.’
Once the number and type of products have been identified, installers can also link the Acoustic Simulator results to their account to create a shopping list. There is also an option to download the simulator’s results as a pdf file.
