Meyer Sound (Berkeley, Calif.) has received its 33rd U.S. patent for the company's MAPP Online acoustical prediction software. MAPP Online is an Internet-enabled client-server system that allows modeling software running on Meyer's server to provide a computational back end to GUI software running on a user's computer. Designed for use by sound system designers and consultants, the system uses a Java applet and is free of charge for qualified users.
According to the company's Website, “The MAPP Online system generates accurate predictions of the performance of Meyer Sound loudspeakers in a given configuration within a venue.” To use the system, the user defines a venue's attributes and a choice and configuration of loudspeakers. The parameter data is then communicated to Meyer's server via Internet, drawing on a database of loudspeaker profiles to calculate the results. The server returns a color image to the user's computer to show the loudspeakers' expected coverage and frequency at any spot in the venue.
