Abstract
A method of configuring an array of speaker elements is disclosed. The method computes a sound that pressure level at various points in the venue and is evaluated by various objective functions. The configuration of a candidate array is changed, for example by the orientation or position of the speakers and the sound field is recalculated. The process is then iterated until an acceptable configuration is found. The real physical array of speakers is then configured in that manner. The method also provides a 3D plot of the sound pressure level displayed against freguency and position in the venue.
