Acoustical Prediction: MAPP Online Pro

 

 




Meyer Sound MAPP Online

Just as Meyer Sound changed the way the pro audio industry makes electro-acoustic measurements when the SIM audio analyzer was introduced over 20 years ago, we introduced yet another truly revolutionary tool for the professional audio community 15 years later – Meyer Sound MAPP Online (patent pending).

Meyer Sound's MAPP Online acoustical prediction program is a powerful, cross-platform, Java-based application for accurately predicting the coverage pattern, frequency response, impulse response and maximum SPL output of single or arrayed Meyer Sound loudspeakers. Residing on the local host computer, the Java application facilitates configuring arrays of a wide variety of Meyer Sound products and, optionally, defining the environment in which they will operate, including air temperature, pressure and humidity, as well as the location and composition of walls.

When a prediction is requested, data are sent over the Internet to a high-powered server computer at Meyer Sound that runs a sophisticated acoustical prediction algorithm using high-resolution, complex (magnitude and phase) polar data. Predicted responses are returned over the Internet and displayed on the local host in color.

With MAPP Online, you can:

  • Plan an entire portable or fixed loudspeaker system and determine delay settings for fill loudspeakers
  • Clearly see interactions among loudspeakers and minimize destructive interference
  • Place microphones anywhere in the sound field and predict the frequency response, impulse response and sound pressure at the microphone position
  • Refine your system design to provide best coverage of the intended audience area
  • Use a virtual VX-1 Program Equalizer to predetermine the correct control settings for best system response
  • Gain valuable load information about the array to determine rigging capacities

MAPP Online enables sound system designers to come to an installation prepared with a wealth of information that ensures the system will satisfy their requirements "out of the box" – including basic system delay and equalization settings. Its accurate, high-resolution predictions eliminate unexpected onsite adjustments and coverage problems. With MAPP Online, every sound system installation has the maximum chance of success.

MAPP Online host software is upgraded continually in order to add new Meyer Sound products to the database and enhance user features. Most upgrades are downloaded automatically when logging on to a MAPP Online session. The MAPP Online database includes nearly all current Meyer Sound products, including all M Series full-range and subwoofer cabinets.

MAPP Online Pro

MAPP Online Pro is an advanced version of the program made available selectively to qualified individuals, especially participants in Meyer Sound educational seminars. Added improvements include the ability to import CAD drawings of venues, specify arrays mixing different Meyer Sound loudspeaker products, see automatic frequency response updates when moving a virtual microphone, view values in metric or Imperial units, name arrays and microphones, and use an integrated rigging calculator.

MAPP Online Pro also incorporates additional loudspeaker models, especially subwoofers and new products.

MAPP Online is compatible with Windows, Linux, Unix and Apple Macintosh computers running Mac OS X version 10.3.x or higher. MAPP Online requires Java Web Start version 1.4.2_03 (or higher). Java is included with Mac OS X.
