Saving and loading the speaker array data
You may save the condition of the currently selected speaker array such as Array Name, Speaker Property, and
Configuration. The data is saved in a dedicated format with the “.spa” extension. This function is useful, for example,
when you want to place speaker arrays with the same condition in different project. When you load and place the
same array data multiple times, Y-S3 creates multiple speaker arrays with identical array names in Speaker List.
Change these names after you have finished loading the arrays.

box, select “Import Array Type” from the list box and import the necessary speaker array template (.ysd) from the
“ARRAY_LIBRARY” folder. See chapter 4 for details.

condition here in the Property view, but only when editing the Add Speakers window. See chapter 4 for details.
Array Geometry
Enter speaker array positional parameters. You cannot create contour figures if the target points you enter
coordinates for do not appear in the receiving surface of the room. The sound pressure levels are displayed.
