  Service Area Selection 
Select the area to be served by the currently selected speaker array by dragging on the audience area with the mouse. 
You can also type the coordinates in the boxes. The selected area turns to a lighter color even when outside of the 
audience area is selected, but only the area within the audience area will be used for the calculation. Stage, wall or 
outside of the floor will not be used. This diagram shows an example of a configuration which has been made taking 
account of the service area of mirrored speaker arrays installed in the y-z plane. An error message appears if the area 
you designate is too small or does not match the conditions of the array speakers. 
  Required SPL 
Enter the overall sound pressure level necessary at the target point of each single speaker. The level can be set in the 
range of -50 to 200 dB. If the sound pressure required is too large for the system, you may not be able to meet the 
required sound pressure levels. 
  EQ Tuning 
  Check this checkbox to adjust EQ. 
  Fixed Input Signal Level 
Place a check in this checkbox to lock the input level for the selected speaker array outputs (Input Levels in the Config 
view), and input a setting. The level can be set in the range of -10.0 to 24.0 dBu. 
Enter the calculation conditions, and press    to calculate the results and update the Property and Config views 
in Speaker Property. 
The following diagrams depict the differences before and after auto-tuning speaker arrays (included mirrored 
speaker arrays) in area setting above.
