</aside>

Please refer to the algorithms used for each element for further information about how to use each element.

There are some limitations that will assist you in thinking of how to join elements, for example, sound power outputs can only be joined to specific elements without the use of a source converter element.

SoundSurfer will help you do your calculations quickly; however, you need to understand how each element works, select the correct elements for your calculation, and use the correct inputs to achieve a sensible prediction.

An understanding of fundamental acoustic principals is required/assumed in order to utilise the calculation tools effectively.
