Methods are shown for calculating Q at different positions in the listening plane of a distributed system and in different directions for a central array. Total power radiated onto different surfaces, positional or directional dependence of critical distance and articulation loss of consonants can be found. For central arrays, design overlays can be created. For distributed systems, design graphs are included for several example loudspeakers.
