Complete Measurement Guide

Measurement Setup

Plan and execute professional acoustic measurements with spatial positioning and automated sequences

AudioMap's measurement setup wizard guides you through planning spatial measurement sessions. Define your venue geometry, position sound sources, set measurement points, and execute automated Spatial auto-capture sequences for comprehensive acoustic analysis.

Room Geometry

Define the space

Define your venue's physical dimensions and shape. AudioMap supports rectangular rooms, L-shaped spaces, custom polygons, and outdoor venues with no boundaries.

Shapes
Multiple options
Rectangular, L-shaped, polygon
Dimensions
L × W × H
Metric or imperial units

Speaker Positioning

Place sound sources

Position your sound sources (speakers) in the 3D space. Use visual placement tools, coordinate entry, or array generators for efficient setup.

Placement
Drag and drop
Visual positioning with snap
Arrays
Auto tools
Linear, arc, grid patterns
Validation
Coverage check
Collision and symmetry

Listening Position

Primary reference point

Define the primary listening position - your delay reference point and system alignment target. This is typically the mix position or center of coverage.
