Creating Designs with SoundStructure
Studio
A SoundStructure configuration file is a binary file that includes the definition of the virtual channels, the
virtual channel groups, the appropriate input and output gain settings, echo cancellation settings,
equalization, matrix routings, and more. This file may be uploaded to SoundStructure devices or stored on
the local PC for later upload.
By default, SoundStructure products do not have predefined virtual channels or a predefined matrix routing
and therefore must be configured before the SoundStructure products can be used in audio applications.
The SoundStructure Studio software with integrated InstantDesigner
upload that design to one or more SoundStructure devices.
Note: No Default Configuration for SoundStructure Systems
SoundStructure devices are shipped without a default configuration and must be
configured with the SoundStructure Studio software.
The details of creating a new SoundStructure Studio design file are described in this chapter. For information

Understanding SoundStructure Studio

The first step to creating a SoundStructure design is to launch the SoundStructure Studio application. If the
SoundStructure Studio software is not already installed on the local PC, it may be installed from the CD that
was included with the product. More recent versions of SoundStructure Studio may also be available on the
Polycom website - please check the Polycom website before installing the SoundStructure Studio version
