Symmetry
Check this checkbox to place a mirror image of the speaker array with respect to the y-z plane. For a stereo system,
when the left side speaker is entered, the right side “mirrored” speaker will appear automatically. Speakers will
overlap if Position x in “Array Geometry” is set to the default (0.00). Please enter an appropriate figure. Note that since
speaker figures are also mirrored, the mirrored figure is different from the actual picture in some cases for some
asymmetric models like IS2112AS or IF2115AS. This will not affect calculation results. An asterisk (*) appears beside
the array names of mirrored speakers, to help distinguish them from the original speakers.
Array Geometry
Enter positional data for the speakers such as the splay, angle and coordinates of the speaker array. The contour
diagram does not display if the target point is not located on the receiving surface in Aspect View after you have
positioned the speaker. Further, the contour figure will not display if the target point is in an area obstructed by walls
(first floor only) or floors. In both cases, the sound pressure distribution that is displayed is based on calculations
made for those areas that sound can travel to unobstructed. Placing a speaker array outside the receiving surface or
stage excludes it from calculations, and its output does not appear on contour figure and sound pressure distribution.
