Array calculators
ArrayCalc
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
subwoofer arrays and the time alignment of these to the main 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 five 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 narrowly spaced point sources. Using complex data (phase information) level distribution
is calculated in multiple frequency bands for up to three main audience areas and optionally for
side seating tiers. ArrayCalc also calculates resulting dispersion of horizontally arrayed subwoofers
at different LF bands and the delay values to achieve desired far-field coverage. The display of the
phase responses of both Main and Sub Array at a selectable test point allows an applicable time alignment
to be defined between flown and ground stacked parts of the system.
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.
