Array calculators
ArrayCalc 6
For both acoustical and safety reasons J-Series, Q-Series and T-Series arrays must be designed using the
d&b ArrayCalc calculator, a simulation tool for planning system configurations. This includes defining
the quantity and optimum aiming of loudspeakers, calculating SPL and 3D coverage, system headroom, subwoofer
arrays and time alignments to the arrays, documenting weights and overall dimensions of arrays as well as
producing printable rigging plots and parts lists. ArrayCalc calculates and displays the physical parameters
of up to seven individual arrays including the mechanical load conditions within a column, load safety
information and load values for rigging points, warnings are displayed should an overload occur.
ArrayCalc uses a sophisticated mathematical model synthesizing each loudspeaker's wave front with an array
of closely spaced point sources. Using complex data (phase information) level distribution is calculated in
multiple frequency bands for up to five main audience areas and side tiers. It also calculates the resulting
dispersion of horizontally arrayed subwoofers at different frequencies and calculates the delay values to
achieve at a desired far field dispersion. The display of the arrival times of the individual arrays at a
selectable test point allows a precise time alignment. The ArrayCalc software comprises six main sheets;
Arrays with Sub Array, 3D Plot, Alignment, Measuring, Rigging and Parts list.
The d&b ArrayCalc calculator from Version 5 onwards offers programs for use either on Microsoft
Windows , Version XP or higher, or Mac OS X , Version 10.4.10 or higher.

FAQs.
TransCalc and InstallCalc
d&b TransCalc and InstallCalc are Microsoft Excel based
spreadsheets for planning Transformer and Installer flying system set ups.
Loudspeaker array information can be entered and the spreadsheets then
provide the flying system settings, weights for rigging points, cluster
dimensions and rigging plots. Rigging plots and complete array part lists
can be printed. Export functions are included to allow cluster information
to be imported directly to CAD and electroacoustical simulation software.
TransCalc/InstallCalc now provides a graphic display for up to four
listening planes in 2D projections showing the aiming points of all C3 and
C4-TOP cabinets of the array.
