Setups with CAPS
3.4 Help Menu
Use the menu option About to open a window
providing general information on CAPS, the version
number, and your computer system.
3.5 Location Panel
Open the Location panel to begin creating a new
project. In box 1, enter the room measurements
(depth and height), the FOH location, and the
coordinates of the reference point from which you
will measure the audience areas' coordinates. In box
2, enter the number and coordinates of audience
areas you have measured. Data entered for the
room and the audience areas are represented in
a side view with a superimposed grid. In box 3,
you may enter general project-related data such
as the project name, author and comments. This
information will then appear on all other panels.
3.6 Setup Panel
The Setup panel lets you create and test your
configuration. First you must determine if you
want CAPS to compute the continuous sound level,
peak sound level or the sound level of an individual
frequency band within the audience areas. In box 2,
enter the position of the array and how many and/
or which components it consists of. In box 3, adjust
the vertical angle of the entire array as well as the
angles between individual components until you
achieve optimum results. You can view sound level
envelopes in the individual audience areas using
the diagram in box 4. To this end, click the desired
audience area using the left mouse button. In box
5, you can indicate the position of subwoofers and
then see the delay between the subwoofer and
COHEDRA
® mid/high array depicted in a side view.
Click Calculate to compute the COHEDRA ® array's
sound level envelope in the audience areas and view
a color view thereof. Use the Optimize button to
open a panel providing an optimization function.
When selected, it fine-tunes the configuration
automatically.
Note:
The optimization function is a fine-tuning tool
rather than a full-fledged auto setup option that
configures your system for you. It does not detect
or correct major setup errors!
