Aspect View (Chapter 6)
Aspect View displays the layout of the speakers, along with a sound pressure distribution and contour figure based
on calculation results. To update calculation results, select the center frequency and bandwidth from the list box in
the upper section of Aspect View, then select the calculation mode icon. Change the calculation conditions and click
to reflect the new calculation results.
You can change the background color of Aspect View and Graph by setting [BackGround Color (B)] to [Gray (G)] or
[White (W)] in the [View (V)] menu. (The background color of the above figure is [Gray (G)].)

Button Type Button Name Button Function
Frequency, Band Width
Select the center frequency and the bandwidth
(1/1, 1/3, 1/6,
FFT) .Calculation results are reflected in Aspect View, Balloon view, and
Graph.
SPL Mode
Display a sound pressure distribution in
Aspect View for all speakers
selected in the Speaker List checkbox.
Array Mode
Displays a contour figure for speaker arrays displaying target points. The
contour figure is depicted in three layers, indicating -3 dB (red), -6 dB
(orange) and -9 dB (green) drops in sound pressure from the target point
that is closest to the speaker arrays or speaker.
The contour figure is not available when speakers are mounted on the
floor, or when the target point is not located on the receiving surface or is
in an area obstructed by walls (first floor only) or floors. Furthermore, you
cannot select speaker arrays that have been automatically located using
the symmetry function in “Enclosure type - Auto layout” and “Enclosure
type - Manual layout” (these speakers are depicted in orange). Y-S3 does
not display target points and contour figures for these speakers.
Single Mode
Display a contour figure for each speaker displaying target points. Since
the contour figures for each speaker are calculated relative to the
respective target points, the SPL for each speaker will be different even
though for contour lines of the same color.
