Line Array Calculator by McCauley Sound is a system design and prediction tool for planning, configuring, and optimizing McCauley line array loudspeaker systems. Built for audio system designers, touring engineers, and installers, it helps you model arrays for real-world venues, evaluate coverage and level uniformity, and finalize rigging and deployment details before you arrive on site.
Key capabilities:
- Fast array configuration: select McCauley line array models, define flown or ground-stacked layouts, set trim heights, curvature, and inter-box angles.
- Audience-area modeling: enter room dimensions, stage location, and listening areas to assess coverage across seats, tiers, and zones.
- Coverage and level prediction: visualize expected on-axis response and relative SPL distribution to enhance intelligibility and consistency.
- Shading and zoning: apply amplitude shading, delay, and filtering to smooth coverage and manage near- and far-field balance.
- Rigging considerations: review array geometry and pickup options in line with manufacturer guidelines to support safe, repeatable deployment.
- Planning outputs: generate angle tables, rigging notes, and parts lists to streamline prep, quoting, and crew communication.
- Reporting and export: produce concise design summaries for documentation and handoff.
With Line Array Calculator, you can reduce on-site guesswork, shorten setup time, and achieve more predictable results for concerts, installations, houses of worship, theaters, arenas, and outdoor events.
