The company Sound Precision has developed a new Line Array loudspeaker system (VHA-40). When using this system, their customers need computer aid to get the best possible sound-quality and control of sound levels for the whole audience. The aim of this thesis is to develop a truly useful sound quality simulator for the VHA-40. The system will help the sound engineers to position the loudspeakers for optimal sound by simulating loudspeaker configurations and visualizing the resulting sound quality and quantity. To solve this a human-centered design (HCD) approach is taken to implement a system that is truly useful for the users, meaning that they will use it more and hence deliver better sound for the audience. The employed HCD process is a custom adaption of user centered agile software development and Human-centered design for interactive systems ISO 9241-210. The result is a working sound simulator (SP-Soft Line Array Simulator) that is used today by sound technicians to deliver better sound quality and quantity for their audience.
