3. ACOUSTIC PREDICTION AND MECHANICAL TESTING:
DBTECHNOLOGIES COMPOSER
dBTechnologies Composer software, available for free download from www.dbtechnologies.com, is a tool
for the proper designing of the audio systems, recommended for the entire VIO series.
It offers a solution for the spaces to sonorize, indicating the angle of the line-array modules in order to
achieve the desired coverage and the preset to use.
Besides being a predictive instrument, it also allows several manual adjustments to further improve the
configuration based on possible audio measurements made on the field or on special needs.
It is also the effective tool to assess installation safety level. In fact, thanks to the simulation of the fly-bar's
static behaviour and an indication of the mechanical forces at play, it allows verifying how many modules
should be installed before reaching an overload condition.
The main sections of dBTechnologies Composer are:
• COMPOSER - overview allowing to enter design start data
• LAs PREDICT - with the simulation, configuration and safety check of the line-arrays
• SUBs PREDICT - with the simulation, configuration and safety check of the subwoofers
This chapter describes some of the software's details relating to installation and safety, in particular for the
FLOWN configuration of VIOL212 line arrays.
