“What I like most about L-Acoustics Soundvision is its accuracy in predicting actual performance of the sound system.We have not had a single instance where the predicted performance and measured performance were even moderately different, and this allows me to accurately design installation projects both for new construction and for building redesigns. It is obvious that L-Acoustics has mastered the science of prediction, and the fact that they have been so consistent over the years is a testament to their manufacturing precision.”

Design your Gig

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (12)

3D modeling

Build a simple venue model to initiate your sound system design. Or build a sophisticated model for utmost precision in your sound system design.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (13)

Build your sound system

Position any L-Acoustics loudspeaker, line-array or subwoofer in your 3D environment and quickly assess the system sound pressure level (SPL) distribution over the audience. Use the symmetry functions to duplicate and link sources, any change will affect both sources.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (14)

Real-time mapping

Predict with precision the sound pressure level (SPL) of any loudspeaker individually or the full system on the frequency range of your choice. Get results in dBA, dBC and dB unweighted. Prepare the calibration process with the delay mode and start aligning your sources.

Optimize your Gig

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (15)

Autosplay

Assess the vertical coverage of your line source and reach the optimal mechanical arrangement with Autosplay. Define an SPL distribution target and Autosplay finely adjusts the inter-element angles to optimize both wavefront integrity and SPL distribution.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (16)

Autofilter

Linearize the high-frequency responses throughout the audience with Autofilter. Through fast computation, Autofilter uses linear phase FIR filters to even out line source responses according to a defined contour objective, using limited amount of resources. Adjust the on-site atmospheric conditions to obtain the best results for the actual conditions.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (17)

Design criteria

Soundvision gives you criteria and indicators to quickly assess the quality of your design. Adjust loudspeaker position, inter-element angles, array processing, atmospheric conditions and evaluate the impact on SPL distribution and frequency response stability. Learn and get confident with Soundvision feedback.

Install your Gig

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (18)

Mechanical view

Open the mechanical view and get dimensions, weight and load information to prepare on-site installations, secure the rigging and acknowledge safety messages.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (19)

Installation report

Accelerate load-in time on-site with the mechanical report, giving you the adequate information for system deployment.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (20)

Bridge

Import Soundvision project data into Network Manager and L-ISA Controller, and save precious set-up time.

Connections

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (21)

SketchUp

Use SketchUp to create complex 3D scene and export them directly into Soundvision with our SU4SV plugin.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (22)

EASE

Use our complete GLL library to simulate your design with precision.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (23)

CLF

Use CLF files for non-arrayable loudspeakers and model these in CATT and ODEON.

Added value

Venue database

Thanks to the contributions of the Soundvision user community, start fast with ready-to-use and certified venue models available from the Soundvision webpage.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (25)

Camera tool

Insert cameras in your design to setup multiple views with great accuracy. Leverage the angle of view function to create artistic images or match the Soundvision view with that of a real camera.

Soundvision | Best 3D Sound Designing & Mapping Tool | L-Acoustics (26)

L-ISA sound system design

For trained L-ISA engineers, get access to dedicated simulation functions to elaborate the best L-ISA design for your venue.
