New website Merlijn van Veen, home of the Subwoofer Array Designer calculator

[Merlijn van Veen]

Hi everybody,

I’d like to thank Bennett Prescott of Sound Forums for the opportunity to announce my new website

www.merlijnvanveen.nl

home of the Subwoofer Array Designer calculator.



This free spreadsheet is the Swiss Army knife for subwoofer configurations. It helps you design, in real-time, cardioid configurations like end-fired and gradient. Physical (arc) and delayed (straight) horizontal arrays.

You can use up to 12 speakers with omnidirectional, cardioid, super-cardioid and figure-eight speaker patterns. Apply low- and high-pass filters. Look at arrival times both absolute and relative.

It displays frequency and phase responses for 7 microphones. Shows you SPL and polar plots. Lastly, nearly everything can be normalized in order to see relative differences.

file type: Microsoft Excel Open XML spreadsheet (.xlsx) minimum requirements:

Win - Excel 2007 or higher
Mac - Excel 2008 or higher

For a more in-depth examination visit www.merlijnvanveen.nl and download the 71-page manual containing 5 tutorials.

equal-loudness calculator

Hi everybody,

I'm happy to announce that I've made a new calculator displaying equal-loudness contours in accordance with ISO 226:2003. It allows you to normalize to any contour and see the relative differences.

The equal loudness contours from the calculator are now also available for Smaart v.7. Both tab delimited text and trace files are available for download at the website.

Re: equal-loudness calculator

Merlijn,

Please either post to your blog or to the forum, not both. These large graphics do not scale because you keep them hosted on your server instead of uploading them to ours, so they take up a huge amount of screen real estate in previews. I have gone through and changed all the links so they are hosted with us, clicking on any image will bring up the full size version.
