The Dolby Atmos Room Design Tool v6.4 HE+Music is now available and features a new sheet titled the Alternate Speaker and Amp Entry. 

 

Users working in ‘Advanced’ or ‘Music Advanced’ mode can use the Alternate Speaker and Amp Entry sheet to enter manufacturer specifications for speaker, subwoofer, and amplifier models that do not exist in the DARDT database.

 

The following video guide walks through the new sheet. Alternatively, step-by-step instructions can be found below.

 

 

To get started, navigate to the Design Creation sheet and select ‘Enable Alternate Speaker and Amp Entry sheet’ in the View Options menu. A new tab for the Alternate Speaker and Amp Entry sheet will appear at the bottom of the workbook.

 

 

To add an additional speaker, subwoofer, or amplifier model, click the appropriate button and input the manufacturer specifications as directed. The rating used by the DARDT will be calculated and shown on the right.

 

 

The added model can be found in the corresponding drop-down menu in the Design Creation sheet, sorted alphabetically. 

 

Note that all fields must be completed for a unit to be available in the dropdown list. If any information is not available, contact the relevant reseller or manufacturer. For further instructions, click the yellow ‘Show Help Guide’ button for the respective equipment type.
