Modeler® Design Software
This sophisticated, predictive analysis program determines the preferred configuration and location of speaker systems.
Modeler® software enables sound engineers to create an accurate acoustical model of a facility, and develop a design that reduces unwanted echoes, excessive reverberation, and acoustic hot and cold spots. Modeler® software can also be used for acoustical space analysis.
The program places a variety of virtual speakers in a computerized room model of nearly any size or shape. The speakers can be aimed, moved, turned on or off, amplified, |

 |
| with set time delay values. The program also takes into account the acoustical properties of the surface materials to be used in the venue. Modeler® software can be used for existing structures, or with architectural drawings of planned structures. |
Modeler® design software is a sophisticated, predictive analysis program that can determine the preferred configuration and location of speaker systems in existing venues or from blueprints.
Sound designers and consultants use this technology to carefully create an acoustical model of the facility, ensuring the design reduces unwanted echoes, excessive reverberation, and acoustic hot and cold spots.Modeler® program output can be exported to the Auditioner® audio demonstrator, allowing designers and clients to actually hear how the proposed system will sound.
 Predicting the behavior of sound systems in different kinds of facilities
The Modeler® design program helps sound designers predict the behavior of sound systems in nearly any kind of facility.
Proper speaker placement is a science
Using the proprietary Bose® Modeler® program, multiple speakers can be placed in computerized models of rooms with differing shapes and sizes. The program allows speakers to be aimed, moved, turned on or off, amplified, and for time delay values to be set. It also factors in the acoustical properties of surface materials planned for the venue. All of this can be accomplished from architectural plans-the building doesn't even have to exist.
Everything affects sound
Sound designers can use the Modeler® program to see the results of-obstructions and reflections. They can even explore how the number of people in a facility affects its sound.
Obstruction occurs when surfaces such as balconies and overhangs block the sound. Reflections, when managed properly, add spaciousness and ambiance.
But when uncontrolled, they create annoying echoes. Even the audience affects sound quality because fewer people in the stands expose more of the hard surfaces, increasing reverberation.
A visual map of the audio performance
When all these factors are programmed into the Modeler® software, changes can be seen before any equipment is installed. You can even print out color-coded maps.
For an even more accurate prediction of the venue's sound, the Modeler® program's output is exported to our award-winning Auditioner® audio demonstrator. You actually hear the simulated sound. Modeler® design program technology is used worldwide, in a variety of large venue applications.
