To build your own Custom setup:
Press New and select Custom in Setup Type panel.
In the black area, draw lines representing the walls of your place. We recommend that you
measure all relevant distances from a common point in the room. Furthermore, assigning to this
point the couple of coordinates (0, 0) should ease the procedure. To draw the room area, click to
mark each vertical edge, and finally double-click to complete (the first and last point will be
automatically connected together). Loudspeakers will pop up on screen, but ignore them at this
stage.
Draw obstacles the same way you drew the room. Obstacles are
all these areas where you cannot or don't want to put a
loudspeaker. By right-clicking access undo and delete
commands.
Now, drag the yellow arrow to the center of the audience.
Speakers are bound to sweet spot and will move accordingly.
Rotate sweet spot in the desired direction (figure). This is the
'North', i.e. the reference direction of sound sources.
If you right-click on a loudspeaker, you access a contextual
menu with special commands. By selecting Withdraw, you
remove a loudspeaker from the spatial setup – this means that
Orfeusz206 output with same number will not participate to the
spatial field. Right-clicking on the same loudspeaker and
selecting Bind allows you to use this output again. Swap
commands allow swapping two loudspeakers. It's at this stage
that you define how many loudspeakers you intend to use.
Position the mouse cursor on the yellow circle, click and drag
to dimension the loudspeaker perimeter, and to orient globally
loudspeakers (figure).
Finally, drag each loudspeaker individually to the most
convenient location. Each loudspeaker may be displaced in a
perimeter defined by the thin yellow lines. Size of this
perimeter depends on the number of loudspeaker used for the setup: the more of them, the larger
the area. When you are finished, consider saving your layout.
To build a ITU 5.1 or Fixed setup:
Drawing the performance hall is not required for these setup types, because by definition they don't offer
any placement freedom. Indeed, ITU 5.1 setup has standardized loudspeaker placement, meanwhile
Fixed setup type should be used only in a hall where loudspeakers are fixed and can't be moved at all.
In the Setup Type panel, select the desired setup type. Loudspeakers pop on screen immediately.
For your convenience, you may draw the room shape, as well as landmarks for reference.
For ITU 5.1 setups, drag sweet spot to the desired location, then rotate and resize loudspeaker
perimeter. Central speaker always designates the 'North'.
For Fixed setups, drag loudspeakers to the appropriate position, or edit their locations in the
Loudspeakers panel. Loudspeaker placement should always enclose audience. Drag the sweet
spot to the appropriate position (or let Orfeusz control application find the best one for you, by
checking the Auto box), and rotate as desired.
Subwoofers
If your spatial setup is based on less than 6 loudspeakers, you may use the remaining outputs to feed
subwoofers. Unused outputs carry the monophonic sum of all spatial signals, low pass filtered according
to your settings in the Subwoofers panel. When subwoofer functionality is switched on, lower
frequencies fed to subwoofers are filtered out from spatial signals.
