Abstract (en)

The simulated speaker settings are generated such that said speakers produce a desired sound pressure distribution in an acoustical space of a venue. The method includes the steps of: providing an at least partially bounded virtual space on a graphical display, wherein at least part of said virtual space substantially matches the acoustic space of said venue; determining one or more sound spots by selecting one or more volumes in said virtual space and assigning said one or more sound pressure values to said volumes; determining at least part of said target speaker settings by executing an evolutionary algorithm, comprising: generating a population of speaker settings, preferably said speaker settings including at least one of: speaker location information, speaker phase delay information and/or speaker amplitude information; and, optimizing said population of speaker settings on the basis of said one or more sound pressure values associated with one or more sound spots.
