Downloading and Installing MAPP Online Pro
To use MAPP Online Pro, you must register online at
www.meyersound.com
. After entering your registration infor-
mation, an email will be sent to you with your user name,
password, and the MAPP Online Pro download location. On-
screen instructions will guide you through the download and
installation process.
The MAPP Online Pro client software is regularly upgraded to
add support for the latest Meyer Sound loudspeakers, as well
as to add feature enhancements. Most upgrades are down-
loaded automatically when logging on to a MAPP Online Pro
session. The MAPP Online Pro database includes nearly all of
the current Meyer Sound loudspeakers, subwoofers, and
processors.

SIM 3 MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The SIM 3 audio analyzer is a high-resolution audio measure-
ment system comprised of software, hardware, microphones,
and accessory cables. SIM 3 is optimized for measuring
audio frequencies with resolutions up 1/48th of an octave,
allowing you to apply precise corrections to balance system
response using frequency and phase domain information.
Source Independent Measurement Technique
The SIM 3 audio analyzer implements Meyer Sound’s source
independent measurement technique, a dual-channel
method that accommodates statistically unpredictable exci-
tation signals. Any excitation signal within a desired frequency
range can be used to obtain highly accurate measurements
for acoustical or electronic systems. For example, concert
halls and loudspeaker systems can be captured during a per-
formance and used as a SIM 3 test signal, so you can:
■ View measurement data as amplitude versus time
(impulse response) or amplitude and phase versus fre-
quency (frequency response)
■ Utilize a single-channel spectrum mode
■ View frequency domain data with a logarithmic frequency
axis
■ Determine and internally compensate for propagation
delays using the SIM 3 Delay Finder
SIM 3 Applications
SIM 3’s main applications are testing and aligning loud-
speaker systems, which entails:
■ Measuring propagation delays between subsystems to
determine appropriate polarities and delay times
■ Measuring variations in frequency response caused by
the acoustical environment and the placement and inter-
action of loudspeakers to determine corrective equaliza-
tion
■ Optimizing subwoofer integrations
■ Optimizing loudspeaker arrays
SIM 3 can also be used in the following applications:
■ Microphone calibration and equalization
■ Transducer evaluation and correction
■ Echo detection and analysis
■ Vibration analysis
■ Architectural acoustics
■ Underwater acoustics
