WHEREAS 2025: d&b audio optimizes workflow with ArrayCalc V12

The new version 12 ArrayCalc audio system planning and simulation software, what d&b audiotechnik presents in its space at the fair, includes an improved visualization tool that simplifies workflow and accuracy.

ArrayCalc V12 is one of the proposals that d&b audiotechnik shows these days to the visitors who come to its space in WHEREAS 2025 in Barcelona (pavilion 7 – estand E150), take a first look at this update, which will be available next March as a standalone native application for Windows and MacOS.

The version 12 of the known system simulation and planning software of d&b includes the innovative Patch Plan of the company, a improved visualization tool which has been designed for simplify workflows and improve system accuracy.

Thanks to these improvements introduced in ArrayCalc V12, users can plan and install sound systems with precision and efficiency, spending much less effort and time.

A key feature of ArrayCalc V12 is Patch Plan virtual, which represents a significant improvement in the planning of professional sound systems taking into account that audio networks are increasingly complex.

For this reason, This tool simplifies audio system design by providing the user with a complete visual representation of the infrastructure of the same. Architecture visualization and the ability to plan racks in ArrayCalc significantly reduces the need for third-party tools.

Enhancements in ArrayCalc V12 directly address challenges faced by technicians and system designers. Patch Plan virtual de d&b is a complete solution for planning, visualization and execution even the most complex distributed systems.

This is what he points out Florian Hahn, product and application software manager at d&b audiotechnik: “ArrayCalc V12 is an important step into the future. With the new Patch Plan, “Our users will benefit from features that will simplify their workflows and ensure that even the most complex systems can be planned and installed seamlessly.”.

With the new version that the company shows at its stand at ISE 2025 “we once again demonstrate our commitment to our customers. “We provide them with tools that allow them to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.”, subraya Hahn.

Features and benefits

Greater automation and improved user experience: that can visualize the system infrastructure, Understand device connections and quickly plan signal flow using smart patch panel options with seamlessly integrated tracking. Visual error indicators make troubleshooting much faster and more efficient.

Optimized system rack design: simplifies the process of designing and connecting system racks and accommodates both standard and custom configurations.

Soundscape design assistance: provides specific tools for planning connections of this system, from design to production.

Milan Integration: View Milan sequences and their corresponding channels, providing a better overview of signal distribution.

Export options and documentation: allows users to export all details of the planned system architecture for the on-premise application, sales proposals and installation documentation, which improves collaboration between teams and stakeholders.

CCL support: This new compact cardioid line array system can be planned and simulated in ArrayCalc V12.
