- 3D Acoustical Simulation Program
- Real time calculation of SPL
- Visualization of system coverage
- Delay mapping for complex configurations
- Mechanical data for installation and set-up
- World venue database available
The SOUNDVISION 1.6 software new features include:
- Air absorption as a function of humidity and temperature, affecting target SPL calculation
- Updated data product library including the new K1, K1SB, 8XT, 12XT, 108P, 112P, SB15P, and SB28 products
- The adoption of the unified contour template for WST® line sources and a gain structure matching the new V2.0 preset libraries. This allows each product to reach the maximum SPL with the same input level.
- Ergonomic improvements such as mapping mode custom colour scaling and new, programmable quick keys for faster operation
- New balloon export data for all WST® and Point Source systems (except V-DOSC®, dV-DOSC, and K1) compatible with EASE® 4.0 and CATT® 8.0
The SOUNDVISION 1.6 (upgrade package only) is available for existing users in the download center

Acoustical Simulation Program Developed for sound designers, SOUNDVISION is dedicated to the acoustical and mechanical simulation of L-ACOUSTICS systems (WST line arrays and Coaxial point source technologies). Benefiting from L-ACOUSTICS long term experience in the modelling of acoustic sound sources, SOUNDVISION is the first 3D sound design program capable of operating in real time. |

Real time calculation of SPL and visualization of system coverage SOUNDVISION allows the calculation of sound pressure level (SPL) coverage, SPL mapping and delay coverage (or mapping) for complex sound system and venue configurations. Either horizontal (plan) or vertical (cut) views can be selected to enter room coordinates or to define loudspeaker placement/aiming. Impact coverage, SPL mapping or delay is then based on direct sound calculations over the defined audience geometry. |

Selectable user modes for different operator profiles Coverage mode provides a practical tool for the touring sound engineer while mapping mode provides more detailed information for the audio consultant. System time alignment of multiple loudspeakers or arrays can be visualized with delay mode and the mechanical data provides detailed set-up information for installer and riggers. |

Online SOUNDVISION pre-modeled venue database The world venue database allows the insertion of the touring kit into the a pre-modeled venue file. The engineer can quickly prepare and optimize the sound design variations specific to each venue. Thanks to the contributions of the SOUNDVISION user community, engineers on the road can accurately anticipate on the planning of their sound design and system optimization even if not present on site. |

SU4AC is a Google SketchUp plug-in written by Greg Longtin of Champion Enterprises. It is designed to help one quickly work with DXF, DWG and 3DS models imported from CAD software or acoustic simulation packages such as CATT, EASE and ODEON where one needs to reduce the model to what is required for electro-acoustic prediction. The sound designer can export and import models to/from SOUNDVISION. The SU4AC plugin features:
New in v3.30, windows and dialogs can be set to three font sizes, allowing one to work efficiently on various monitor resolutions. Current version is v.3.33. Due to 'modal window' issues, SU4AC is not Mac compatible. Download link : www.championent.net/tech/sv/ |

Engineers wishing to donate to the database are invited to observe the following guidelines in the effort to maintain a SOUNDVISION drawing standard.
The X,Y & Z Axis zero reference point should be identified by a fixed point, not dependant on the type of event:
- Theatre or Shed: fire curtain
- Arena: Venue Center usually directly under the scoreboard (Most venues are symmetrical)
- Stadium: Center of the field. (Pitchers mound for baseball fields) determined by the playing field area marks
Audience listening levels should be added after the room is designed, only to audience seating or standing surfaces only. Paths or walking surfaces should not incorporate these levels. As an average these guidelines should be as follows, 1.2m (3.09') for seating and 1.8m or (5.09') for standing.
Measurements should be verified by the systems engineer before finalizing the system design.
