Convention Paper

CAD (Calculator Assisted Design) of Sound Systems, Recording Studios and Architectural Acoustics Using the Programmable Scientific Calculator

Authors: Lanphere, John E.

AES Convention 72 · Paper 1944 · October 1982

Abstract

Comprehensive designs of sound systems, recording studios, and architectural acoustics are often not fully achieved because the designer does not have access to a computer system to handle complex, lengthy and repetitious calculations. The use of a full-function programmable and portable scientific calculator system with readily available software is described. Several examples are given where complex calculations are performed with the use of a single key on the calculator. Results of calculations can be sorted and plotted, allowing more rapid use by the designer.
