GigMate™ Acoustic Simulation
While the Flex Array System is remarkably intuitive in terms of building arrays and aiming
them – and requires no theoretical calculations in order to achieve optimum coverage of a
room or audience space – there may well be situations where some prior knowledge of a
venue can save time in setting up and configuring the PA. In order to aid in this process,
Turbosound offers the GigMate™ software acoustic simulation package, a version of the
generic EASE Focus program that is based on current EASE 4.1 data.
GigMate™ provides an accurate elevation representation of sound pressure level and
coverage of a room, given the dimensions of the audience areas and location of available
rigging points in the venue. The database allows for the creation of flown clusters, or for
ground stacked arrays, of TFA-600H mid/high and TFA-600L bass enclosures.
Setting up a Venue - Overview
The Audience Area window provides a way to add or remove Audience Areas and define
their location in the space. A venue can be selected from a range of standard venue presets,
or set up from scratch using the X and Y co-ordinates menus to define the location, size and
angle of the listening areas.
The PA is set up by choosing either a flown cluster or ground stack. Box count, cluster
position, tilt angle and splay angle can all be selected independently.
The mapping properties allow the user to select frequency bands from 125Hz to 8kHz, and
also bandwidth from one-third octave to broadband. Weighting and level can also be
selected here.
Once mapped to achieve satisfactory room coverage and level, results can be saved and
printed as a .rtf file. The program will also calculate the total weight of the cluster as well as
its overall physical size.
