The Theater Sound Designer from MSE is an online tool created to assist audio designers in building home theaters and media rooms with the right speakers that achieve high performance audio for any given size space.
MSE Audio has hundreds of theater options available in on-wall, in-wall, Custom Box, and floor standing formats, including an extensive catalog of both active digital bi- and tri-amped systems and passive home theater speakers. The new design tool provides specific product recommendations to guide integrators through the product selection.
Theater Sound Designer will go live on the MSE Audio website on February 17. It will also debut at DSG Distributors in Plainview, NY on Feb.17 from 12 pm to 4 pm and Feb.18 from 9 am through 3 pm with lunch served. A live complete demo of the Theater Sound Designer will be delivered at 10 am, Feb.17 via DSG Distribution’s Facebook page and YouTube.
Attendees will also see live demos of the SoundTube STNet audio-over-IP system and a new Linear Array DCB410 floor-to-ceiling subwoofer.
“The Theater Sound Designer is our first step in providing more relevant application-based information to our partners,” said MSE Vice President Ken Hecht. “Using the Theater Sound Designer will help our resellers to easily find the right loudspeakers to meet the installation, performance, and budget objectives of their customers.”
Theater Sound Designer features dARTS digital speakers and PhaseTech CI and PC products. It will soon expand to include Induction Dynamics theater options. The theater/media room systems offered include a range of MSE Audio’s many patented and trademarked technologies that includes the dARTS in-room calibration system, the soft dome tweeter, Positive Clamping System that prevents the wall from becoming part of the speaker, Unicel Acoustic Treatment to minimize sound wave interaction with the wall when using in-wall speakers, Absolute Phase crossovers for broad on axis response, patented Bass Extending technology, and patented RPF Flat Piston and glass fiber drivers.
To use the Theater Sound Designer, users answer a short series of questions about the theater space: seating distance from the screen, sound level required, what type of speakers and subs and the number of surround speakers. By simply selecting the parameters that meets the project requirement, the theater designer will present the options for the optimal theater loudspeaker/subwoofer audio designs for the project.
MSE’s engineering staff can help with any additional audio design assistance that integrators may need, at no charge.
