Abstract
An automated sound system design device and a method for operating it. A computer is constructed and arranged to accept input of facility information signals and sound system preference signals requirements, and using a previously stored assemblage of component performance capability data signals to generate a sound system output signal configuration, representative of a desired sound system.
Claims11
A method for designing a sound system for a facility, comprising:
- inputting performance data signals representing desired performance properties for said sound system to a computer processor;
- inputting acoustic data signals representing acoustic characteristics of acoustic spaces in said facility to said computer processor;
- comparing, by said processor, said acoustic data and said performance data signals with preexisting stored sound equipment signals representative of sound equipment component capabilities;
- and
- generating, by said processor in real time, a configuration output signals for said sound system representative of a desired sound system.
2 more elements
Apparatus for designing a sound system for a facility, comprising:
- a memory, for storing data signals representing sound system component properties;
- and a computer processor, coupled to said memory, constructed and arranged to accept as input data information signals including performance data signals representative of desired sound system performance capabilities of said sound system, acoustic data signals representative of acoustic characteristics of said facility, said computer processor further constructed and arranged to generate in real time, based on said acoustic data signals and said performance data signals, a configuration output signal representative of a sound system configuration comprising identification of components and interconnections between said components, said sound system configuration having said desired sound system performance capabilities.
