Loudspeaker Coverage by Architectural Mapping

Authors: Uzzle, Ted

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 30 · Issue 6 · pp. 412–424 · June 1982

Abstract

A new technique uses rectangular-to-spherical coordinate transforms to generate an angular map, displaying auditorium seating in latitude and longitude angles as seen by the loudspeaker. Loudspeaker coverage and inverse-square losses can be instantly determined by this method, and intelligibility can be calculated easily for an entire area of seating. Loudspeaker radiation angular contours are presented for a number of high-frequency horns, as well as software for automatic computation of map point locations.
