BrownBox reads an L-Acoustics Soundvision System Report and hands you every hang the way you rig it: box counts, per-box splay, top and bottom trim, weight with the flying frame, bumper count, pickup hole and site angle. Open the PDF on your phone, walk to the point, and the numbers are in your hand. Built by a touring audio tech, for the people who fly the PA. EVERY HANG AT A GLANCE • Import any Soundvision System Report (PDF) — straight from Files, Mail or AirDrop • Mains, subs, fills and delays laid out like the console, each with box count and cabinet models • Per-box splay angles and a side-profile view of the array • Top trim and bottom trim, in feet or metres RIGGING, NOT JUST ACOUSTICS • Weight per array, including the flying frame, in lb or kg • Bumper count, pickup hole and front/rear pins from the report • Site angle starred on a two-motor hang, pickup hole starred on a one-motor hang, so the number that actually sets the tilt is the one you see first • Verified cabinet weights for K1, K2, K3, KARA II, KIVA II, A15, A10, KS28, KS21, SB18, SB15m, L2, L2D, SYVA, SYVA LOW, X8, X12, X15 — anything estimated is marked ≈ THE RIGGER LIED (Pro) • Riggers report the as-built trim or site angle from their own phones with a short show code • The lead sees every hang that's off from the design, live, as it's flown ON SITE • Track each hang from Pending to Deployed to Noised, with a Noised tab for system check • Share a rig card — trim, weight, splays, holes — as an image straight into the show chat • Works offline.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DMR_Series at none against BrownBox's 1. DMR_Series also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
