6. The WaveDesigner - Setting-up the
Sonic Wave I Processor
The WaveDesigner software element is a configuration tool to set up the Sonic
Wave I processor for a specific loudspeaker setup. The WaveDesigner sends the
loudspeaker information (position, type, rendering) to the connected Sonic Wave I
processor, which then creates the corresponding filters. Once this step is completed,
the processor is operational and fine-tuning operations can be completed (EQ,
crossover tuning for multiway systems, etc.). All settings can also be saved as a
project file on to your computer.
It is recommended for stability reasons to use the WaveDesigner on a stable
network configuration (private network with the processor, good quality network
cable or excellent WIFI connection).
Workflow
The typical workflow setting up of the Sonic Wave I Processor is done in two
different steps. In the first step, the loudspeaker configuration can be edited and the
output configuration created. Until this step is completed, the processor is
not
operational. Clicking the “Upload” button transfers the configuration to the
processor that creates all the necessary renderings accordingly. The processor can
then be used for real time operation including fine-tuning (loudspeaker EQ, etc.).
The typical workflow of creating a new project with the WaveDesigner can be
described as follows:
1.
Configuration according to installation setup
a.
Enter the physical position of all loudspeakers used with the processor. A possible
way to measure is to start with the center front speaker and using it as the zero point
on the X, Y axis
b.
Adjust loudspeaker type and output assignment
c.
Assign rendering type of speakers
d.
Allocate speakers to systems and subsystems
e.
Upload all above gathered data onto the processor so that it can calculate the filters
2.
System fine tuning
a.
Test loudspeakers to check if the cabling is right. If not, change cabling or indexes
in Wave Designer and upload data once more
b.
EQ processor outputs to match speakers to desired sound color, to adapt different
speaker types in setup and adapt the sound to the room acoustics
c.
Store settings to the internal memory of the processor
d.
Now, the Sonic Wave I processor is ready to be used and controlled with the
WavePerformer
e.
Save the project file on your computer. In case of an unwanted modification of the
processor you can re-upload the project including all settings from your computer
to the Sonic Wave I processor
