The invention is directed to a display and method for conducting sound
system design. The display is configured to simultaneously show a sound
system model comprising both audio components and sound environment
components, a plurality of parameters and a graphic representation of a
calculated sound system performance attribute. In response to receiving
input from the user and without any additional user intervention, the
display re-displays a newly-calculated sound system performance attribute
such as, for example, a graphic representation in the sound system model
of a sound path associated with a user-selected reflected sound
identifier. A processor also simulates, based on the sound system
configuration, the sound performance that a user would expect to hear
positioned in an identified listening position of the sound system model.
