1.1.1 d&b ArrayCalc
For both safety and acoustic reasons, d&b line arrays must be
designed using the d&b ArrayCalc simulation software. The
software is available as a native stand-alone application for both
Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems and can be
downloaded at www.dbaudio.com .
Detailed information on how to use and operate ArrayCalc is
provided by the Help system of the software. To access the Help
system, press F1 or select the Help button ( ) from
the ArrayCalc toolbar. This will launch the HelpViewer which
provides an overview of the program as well as a search function
and direct access to the related topics.
In addition, ArrayCalc will provide you with typical array
configurations within the permitted load limits and will help you get
familiar with the mechanical load conditions and limitations.
