TA-880

GIGMATE™ ACOUSTIC SIMULATION

While the Aspect 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 due to its inherent ‘point-and-shoot’ nature, 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 flown clusters of TA-890 touring or TA- 880 trapezoidal enclosures, or for ground stacked arrays.

Running Turbosound GigMate / EASE Focus for the first time:

When you first start the program you must set the system file that it is to use. The installation files include two Turbosound Aspect System files as shown below:

Select the Trapezoidal version of Aspect.

You will now be presented with the GigMate main screen.
