Lynx Pro Audio Rainbow 3D: Electroacoustic prediction software

The new application of Lynx Pro Audio Provides an environment with detailed speaker representations and selectable textures for drawings. It is a solution that offers a complete high-speed simulation in a dynamic three-dimensional environment.

Heir to 2D software and directed by Raul Jordan of the R+D department of Lynx Pro Audio, Rainbow 3D It has been programmed from scratch in an internal development process of 5 years. This electroacoustic prediction software for Rainbow 3D speaker systems is a solution that offers a complete high-speed simulation in a dynamic three-dimensional environment.

parallel, Throughout this year, new spherical measurements of the company's complete catalog of speakers have been made in its recently built anechoic chamber..

"Although a polar resolution of 5 Degrees, Some sound sources, such as line array modules, generate extremely narrow beams at high frequencies, So we use two degrees in those cases. This means measuring and storing exponentially more data points., but it significantly improves the accuracy of the calculations", Designates Carlos Matali, R+D Director.

New Lynx Pro Audio Software Delivers a Sophisticated and Visually Rich Environment, with detailed speaker renderings and selectable textures for drawings. In addition to the materials you would expect, such as wood or concrete, or textures from imported images, You can choose from the library drawings such as a football field or a basketball court as a simple and agile way to add recognizable features.

likewise, there is a type of elements that Lynx calls 'ornaments', Like a basketball basket, A stage with side stairs, trusses or a theater seat, that can be chosen from the program library.

Ben Sinclair, Company Sales Director, He adds that "although the precise simulation is, obviously, The main objective, Being able to quickly craft a visually detailed and attractive project that the client can identify with is also a great advantage.".

An extensive number of productivity tools are available, How to copy and paste, Duplicate with scrolling and drag-and-drop functionality. Each corner of a plane of 4 vertices can be independently defined as angled or rounded with selectable radii. This allows a single plane to be used for complex shapes such as octagons, Circles, Semicircles or stages with trapezoidal shape and curved front.

Any element can be assigned a layer to work in a more organized way since each element of the layer can be hidden, locked or disabled for simulation; allowing a clearer view when needed. The simulation makes use of all the cores of the computer using techniques Multi-threading to run in a very low time.

A project can contain an unlimited number of drawings and speakers. As sound sources, Line arrays can be used (with auto-splay, Automatic optimization of angles between boxes) and conventional boxes.

It is possible to display any of them in a group with a definable radius or a linear spacing, so that it can be created, For example, a circular group of line arrays or a line formed by columns of two subwoofers in front of the stage (which could later be configured as an electronic arc using delays). In addition, It is possible to save a combination of different speaker models forming a custom sound system, to easily duplicate or reuse in a subsequent project.

The frequency response of one or more sound sources can be inspected for specific microphone locations, Interactively applying EQ changes, delay and polarity until desired response is reached. likewise, Rainbow 3D can generate a PDF report with extensive information including all views of the venue, speaker lists with mechanical mounting and EQ information, as well as the plans.
