PredictBASS
PredictBASS is a tool that helps you see how bass frequencies behave in real-world spaces—before you even turn on a speaker. Design your room, drag and drop loudspeakers and obstacles, and identify dead zones with ease. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just curious about how bass behaves in a space, PredictBASS offers a hands-on way to better understand your sound.
Designed for venue owners, sound engineers, and DJs, PredictBASS allows users to explore how bass frequencies behave in a virtual 3D space — helping them better understand low-frequency behavior and apply that knowledge to subwoofer placement in their own venues. PredictBASS aims to demystify the complexities of bass, offering users a way to make informed decisions grounded in the physics of sound.
PredictBASS was developed by BASSBOSS Loudspeaker Designer David Lee in collaboration with Dr. Paul Mayer, a DSP specialist with a background in both academic and professional audio software development. Mayer applied his expertise to create a raytracing-based audio engine that simulates how low-frequency sound interacts with surfaces like floors, walls, and ceilings. The result is a fast, intuitive tool that makes invisible acoustic phenomena — such as phase cancellation, standing waves, and null points — easy to visualize and understand.
By illustrating key acoustic principles, PredictBASS helps users identify and avoid phase cancellation issues — resulting in fuller, more consistent low-end response.
