Plan the show, before the show. Surviving Audio is the pre-show planning suite for working sound engineers. Built around real-world workflows from the live PA design playbook — McCarthy-grade math, dynamically visualized, with practical guides on every tool. The big six: Stereo PA Quick-Eval — Type room dimensions (W × D), get a complete system recommendation: speaker spacing, coverage range, throw distance, FAR/LAR, plus a class verdict (long-throw, standard, wide, multi-box). Answers "which system do I bring?" in 30 seconds. Multi-Tower Delay Chain — One tower? Five towers? The app calculates the position and electrical delay for every tower based on your venue depth and the 40 ms threshold (temperature-adjusted). Visualizes the entire chain with side-elevation diagram. Spatial Crossover — The exact position where main and delay tower meet at equal level, plus the delay setting in ms and samples. Includes a level-vs-position SPL plot showing the transition zone. Sub Setup Recommende — Number of subs + crossover frequency + stage width = the right configuration. Single, coupled, stereo (with power-alley warning), cardioid stack, end-fire, distributed, or coupled block. Each rendered as a top-down stage diagram with λ/2 reference. Cardioid + End-Fire Sub Designer — Calculate delays, polarity, and forward gain. Interactive polar plots at chosen frequency. Top-down layouts with dimensioned spacing. Line Array Splay (Field Estimate) — Rough estimation of splay angles using only a laser distance meter. Side-elevation showing progressively splayed boxes. Pre-MAPP/ArrayCalc reality check. And much more:
