ArrayCalc
The d&b ArrayCalc simulation software is an essential planning tool for configuring d&b line arrays, point source and column loudspeakers, as well as subwoofers. Designed for both Windows and macOS, this stand-alone application supports all aspects of acoustic system design, from performance prediction and alignment to rigging details and safety verification. The use of d&b ArrayCalc is mandatory when designing d&b line array systems to ensure compliance with safety standards. Users can define audience areas in three dimensions, align sources in time, and calculate phase response between flown systems and ground-based subwoofer arrays. The software visualises level distribution across the audience area and offers export options including EASE and DXF formats. Remote ID management is integrated via the amplifier tab. Data created in d&b ArrayCalc is directly utilised by the R1 Remote control software, which generates a graphical interface for system control, eliminating the need for manual data transfer between applications.
- available as a native stand-alone application for both Microsoft Windows and macOS operating systems
- can significantly reduce setup and tuning time in mobile applications and allows for precise initial simulations when planning installations
- Listening planes can be defined in the venue tab, creating a three dimensional representation of any audience area in a given venue

R1 Remote Control
The R1 Remote control software provides a comprehensive graphical interface for managing d&b systems, displaying each amplifier channel, loudspeaker, and group with user-defined faders and control elements. It offers precise adjustments for equalisation, delay, level, filter options, Mute, and power settings, with an offline mode enabling configuration in advance of deployment. R1 Remote control software imports system data directly from d&b ArrayCalc, using the simulation file to create a project-specific interface that reflects the optimised loudspeaker and amplifier setup. This ensures all system parameters are accurately represented and can be efficiently transferred to d&b amplifiers. Serving as the central control point for any d&b Remote network, R1 can be operated from various locations including the control room or mix position. With a clear, logical layout, the R1 Remote control software supports efficient system planning and monitoring, enabling users to manage and oversee the full capabilities of the d&b system architecture.
