User Interface for Beam Shaping
Manage Multiple Beam Patterns
If you have a select Bose® ControlSpace® processor in your system (see table below), you can set multiple
beam patterns in an array and set up end user recall of these settings.
Below is the process to keep each beam pattern in a Modeler .mdr file:
1. Name the Array Name (e.g. ‘Main Left’) in the Array tab.
2. Design the beam shape (pattern A) and add short description of the beam in the ‘Comments’ field (e.g.
“Weekday, covering main floor only”).
3. Save the .mdr file with an appropriate name (e.g. ‘Weekday.mdr’).
4. Duplicate the .mdr file and rename (e.g. ‘Sunday.mdr’).
5. Design the beam shape (pattern B) for the same array and change the short description in the ‘Comments’
field (e.g. “Sunday, covering main floor and balcony).
Note: At this point, the Array Name and number of modules of the array should be the same as before.
6. Save the .mdr file.
Later in the workflow, we link the array in Modeler and the actual array through ControlSpace® Designer™
software, and as long as the array name and number of modules are the same, we can maintain that link for
dierent beam patterns stored in multiple .mdr files.
