Every audio job starts the same way: a floor plan, a client who wants "great sound everywhere," and a quote due by Friday. The gap between that plan and a confident proposal is where integrators lose evenings — guessing speaker counts, hand-waving coverage, and rebuilding the same bill of quantities in a spreadsheet for the hundredth time.
We built the XSCACE Floorplan Sound Simulation to close that gap. Upload a plan, trace the rooms, drop in speakers, and watch the coverage appear. Then export the bill of quantities and a branded report the client can actually read. The design tool is free, with no account required — you can open it right now and have a room simulated in a couple of minutes.
See the Sound, Not Just the Speakers
Dropping speakers on a plan is easy. Knowing whether they cover the room is the hard part — and it is the part clients pay for. The simulator predicts sound pressure level across the space and paints it as a heat map, split into Low, Mid and High bands so you can see where the bass builds up and where the top end thins out. Directivity is modelled per frequency, so a wide tweeter and a narrow array behave differently, the way they do in the room.
Set the main listening position and three more tools wake up: first reflections showing where early energy bounces off each wall toward the seat, room modes flagging the axial resonances for boom and null, and the L/R imaging angle — the stereo triangle drawn on the plan, with the subtended angle checked against the 45–60° target. Green means good imaging. Amber means move the pair or the seat.
For the moment a client leans over your shoulder, there is a 3D view: the coverage rendered as a waterfall surface you can orbit and walk through, with each speaker’s dispersion cone in place. It exports to GLB if you want it in a deck.
The Report Is the Product
A prediction the client cannot see is not worth much. The tool’s real output is a client PDF report — cover page, per-zone floor plans with their coverage maps, technical details, the 3D view, and a full bill of quantities with product images. On Pro it carries your logo, not ours.
The bill of quantities is built as you design: every speaker, streamer and amplifier, rack cabling estimated from where you place the rack, cable lengths totalled. Export it to Excel, fill in your prices, and re-import — it round-trips cleanly. Or set your prices once as a saved price list and they apply to every project automatically, in any of twelve currencies, shown on the BOQ, the report and the spreadsheet.
Design With Anything
The XSCACE catalogue is built in — Slim Array, in-ceiling, in-wall, outdoor and subwoofers, plus the electronics. But real jobs mix brands, so Pro lets you add any manufacturer’s product. Type the specs, or upload the spec sheet and let the AI read out the sensitivity, power and dispersion the simulation needs. Added products join a shared community catalogue, so the library gets better for everyone.
Free to Design, Pro to Run Your Business
The simulation, room analysis, bill of quantities and Excel export are free forever, no sign-in. XSCACE Pro — a 14-day free trial, then $49.99 per user per month, billed in your local currency with two months free annually — adds the things that turn the tool into your quoting workflow: unlimited branded reports, the AI tools, saved price lists, cloud projects, third-party equipment, and a higher AI allowance. Active XSCACE dealers get Pro at no cost.
One Tool, Then the Next
Design here; calibrate and commission in XSCACE Studio — the free control software for XSCACE Xylem DSP amplifiers. Take an RT60 and noise measurement on site, drop it back into the report, and your prediction becomes a verified as-built figure. The design you drew and the system you tuned are the same system, documented end to end.
