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.

Setting up a Venue - Overview

The Audience Area window provides a way add or remove Audience Areas and define their location in the space. A venue can be selected from a range of standard venue presets or set up from scratch using the X and Y co-ordinates menus to define the location, size and angle of the listening areas.

The PA is set up by choosing either a flown cluster or ground stack. Box count, cluster position, tilt angle and splay angle can all be selected independently.

The mapping properties allow the user to select frequency bands from 100Hz to 10kHz and also bandwidth from one-third octave to broadband.

Once mapped to achieve satisfactory room coverage and level, results can be saved and printed as a .rtf file. The program will also calculate the total weight of the cluster as well as its overall physical size.
