MEASURING A VENUE
You are required to enter the venue’s dimensions into the
M3D Placement Calculator.
If scaled sectional drawings of the venue are available, you
can use the dimensions from these drawings to determine
the M3D array setup.
If scaled sectional drawings of the venue are not available,
you can measure the venue by using a laser range nder,
or alternatively, a long measuring tape.
Another less accurate option is to measure the venue by
pacing it off, using a pedometer similar to item 3 in Figure
5, and using this measurement to make an educated
estimate.
Figure 5 shows some tools that can aid in the process of
aligning an array and focusing it to the requirements of a
specic venue:
1. Binoculars
2. Laser measuring tool
3. Pedometer
4. Laser inclinometer
5. Self-leveling, four-way laser
