WPS USER GUIDE
The coverage tab shows your 2D model with the planes refined into three types; audience in green, non-audience in red and hard avoid
in blue. Each dot represents a virtual microphone position at which the software will take response measurements using the integral
computer model. The dots in the critical audience region are closer together for greater accuracy and are spaced closer together at the
start of the audience region to mirror how each region is covered by sections of the array. The audience offset can be edited – standing,
sitting or a custom offset – and each region can be edited, perhaps changing a section under a balcony from audience to non-audience for
example. The SPL profile can be modified and the environmental conditions entered to allow optimisation to compensate for air absorption,
particularly critical for outdoor events.
First a 2D slice of the venue is created, the coverage within the venue is specified and the splay angles calculated. A rigging report allows
you to deploy the array and whilst that is being done the EQ coefficients are calculated. Finally, an SPL report gives detailed information
showing exactly how the system will perform. The computer model is accurate to /- 1dB of actual measured results, meaning the
SPL tab is a reliable overview of how well your system design will cover the space.
The 2D slice is either drawn from scratch or you can also import a shell drawing from a previous project if you are working in a venue you
have visited previously. The slice is a side view of the venue. It is drawn anticlockwise starting at the back of the stage and clicking to
define the position of vertices that define all the planes within the venue. This doesn’t have to be done accurately as you can refine the
precise position of the points working from architects’ drawings or measurements you have taken yourself. The array is positioned, and the
audience region specified from start to finish.
