software to design multi driver directional setup -like Kii3 or Beolab 90

[Focused4Door]

I want to design and build a multi driver setup to control directivity, but not finding any software that fully allows me to do what I am wanting.

Design would be like a Kii 3 or Beolab 90, achieving directionality by using multiple drivers. Not going to make it adjustable, just one fixed setting, so certainly a lot simpler than a Beolab 90, but I do want directivity across a broader range than the Kii3 achieves.


The typical array software or calculators that I am finding are to constrained.


What software can design and model a multi driver directional setup?

Not so sure and remember capabilities for that, but vituixcad can be usefull. It does polar responses

VituixCAD can do that for you. I use it myself with FEM simulation data to do the exact thing you are trying to do and it works fine.

Is it for simulating the design or the actual signal processing during music replay?

Does VituixCAD simulate drivers on arbitrary shapes, and on multiple sides at the same time? The Beolab 90 is a very complex set of sources and faceted cabinetry, and would require some very complicated modeling if you want the model to represent the real world speaker. Take a look:

Just the design, the signal processing will be through multiple DSPs including a Dirac unit. Need to simulate and iterate to sort out how many channels will be needed but I know it will be a fairly high number of channels needed.

Looking into Vituix now, thanks everyone
