A working display area showcasing the new ArrayCalc V7 will be at the stand inviting installers and integrators to learn more about the sophisticated additional algorithms of this latest software advance. Addressing the requirements of a d&b style simulation and planning tool for a complete installation project as well as corporate and AV markets ArrayCalc V7 accommodates not only line array but point source designs or a combination of both into a single hybrid system design.
Across the Piazza in the salubrious surroundings of the Bury Theatre another treat lies in store. Oran Burns and Steve Jones from the d&b audiotechnik Education and Application Support team will each be delivering another informative, entertaining and thoroughly engaging seminar.
On Tuesday 30April from 11:35 to 12:35, Oran will present Demystifying audio techniques. Using visual images, practical demonstrations and discussion, the audience will be guided through the principles of acoustics to discover what constitutes a well behaved loudspeaker and how it affects what we hear.
The following afternoon, the same venue will play host to Steve Jones and the enigmatically titled Why size matters. How does loudspeaker size affect its whole performance? Can it affect its directivity? How about the direct to reverberant ratio? What does loudspeaker throw actually mean? To find out the answers and acquire a deeper perspective on the use of double entendre be at the theatre at 14:15, the session lasts approximately one hour.
Both seminars are free to attend but must be booked online at: www.plasafocus.com/leeds/seminars/. Places are reserved on a first come, first served basis so book early to avoid disappointment.
