Open Lap vs SubZone

Open Lap is a simple, no-nonsense slot car race management app for Carrera® DIGITAL 124/132 systems. In a nutshell, Open Lap lets you - connect your mobile device via Bluetooth using Carrera AppConnect®, or a suitable serial to USB On-The-Go adapter cable. - take it easy during free practice, go for fastest lap in qualifying, or compete in lap or time based race sessions. - get informed about important events, such as fastest laps or low fuel conditions, by personalized voice messages. - adjust vehicle speed, brake force and fuel tank size for each car individually. - measure up to three intermediate or sector times (S1, S2, S3) using Carrera® Check Lane or compatible equipment. - send out the pace car in case of emergency, or temporarily disable lap counting during a "yellow flag" phase. Some features, such as the start light and pace car buttons, will require Carrera® Control Unit firmware version 3.31 or higher. Carrera® Check Lane support generally requires at least firmware version 3.36.

“Within 30 seconds this thing helped me make a decision that I’ve been vacillating about for six months now.” Audio Unleashed podcast “This has to be the biggest no-brainer we’ve ever come across.” LB Tech Reviews When sound waves reflect off the walls, ceiling, and floor of your room, they create “room modes” that change the sound by boosting some frequencies and canceling others. The result is bass that is boomy in one spot and thin in another. The right placement minimizes these effects, and the wrong placement can compromise the sound of even the best subwoofers. The traditional solution is the “subwoofer crawl”, where you move your sub to your listening position, then crawl around the room on your hands and knees listening for the best spot. SubZone replaces that with a scientific calculation you can run from the comfort of your seat. How it works: 1. Measure your room by scanning it with your iPhone*, or by simply entering its dimensions. 2. Choose your room’s construction materials and mark your listening position. 3. SubZone generates a heatmap showing the best places for your subwoofer, with the top zones marked with a star. Adding a second or third subwoofer can sometimes help to smooth out bass response, but it is an expensive experiment. With SubZone you can add as many subwoofers as you like and see exactly what effect they have, and how they interact. Use the optimize feature to automatically search for the ideal combination of positions, then see whether the improvement justifies the purchase. Features: • Full acoustic simulation of every possible subwoofer position, based on your room’s dimensions, construction, and listening positions • Frequency response plot for each zone, showing which frequencies are boosted or cut, and by how much • Add multiple listening positions, so that the whole seating area sounds good • Simulate multiple subwoofers to see how they interact, or search for their ideal positions automatically • Step-by-step tutorial to get you started, plus full detailed documentation • Expert support on hand for any questions or issues • All data is stored and processed on your device, and no account or sign-in is required • Everything included, with no artificial limits on rooms, simulations, listening positions, or subwoofers • Dark and light color schemes Please note: SubZone runs a full acoustic simulation rather than estimating individual room modes, which is what keeps its results accurate. As a result, it currently supports only rectangular “shoebox” rooms. * Room scanning requires an iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro model, but room dimensions can be entered manually on all devices.
