System Implementation / L-Acoustics / Soundvision

Soundvision

Quick topline workflow guides for L-Acoustics Soundvision, not a full manual — the point of these is to have the actual order of operations in front of you on-site or at the desk, without digging back through the full tutorial. Each guide is the flow, not every option the software has.

1. Project Setup & Group Structure

Modeling the room, adding a stage, and the group taxonomy to set up before you touch a speaker.

2. Main Hang Design — Site, Auto-Splay & Amp Assignment

The core repeatable loop: reference points, SPL target, auto-splay/optimize, amp assignment, step mode.

3. Room Surfaces & Reflections Check

Adding walls/ceiling, reading reflection delay and level, and the L2's auto-surface-cancel behavior.

4. Subwoofer Design — Placement, Cardioid & Arcs

Sub coverage checks, custom vs. preset cardioid, and the arc spacing rule of thumb.

5. Fills, Delay Lines & Time-Alignment

Front fills, outfills, delay rings, and lining up subs to tops in the delay finder.

6. Network Handoff, P1 Setup & On-Site Tuning Order

Moving from Soundvision to LA Network Manager, routing, naming, and the on-site EQ pass order.

7. Diagnosing Off-Site Noise Complaints with Probes

A quick probe-comparison workflow for finding the quietest sub configuration when neighbors complain.

8. Array Physics Quick Reference

The handful of physical facts worth keeping in mind so the SPL map doesn't fool you.
