Austin, TX (June 17, 2025)—BassBoss has launched a free room modeling software tool, PredictBass, for enhancing bass performance in live environments.
Designed for venue owners, sound engineers and DJs, PredictBass allows users to explore how bass frequencies behave in a virtual 3D space. helping them better understand low-frequency behavior and apply that knowledge to subwoofer placement in their own venues. PredictBass aims to demystify the complexities of bass, the company says, aiming to help users make informed decisions grounded in the physics of sound.

PredictBass was developed by BassBoss loudspeaker designer David Lee in collaboration with Dr. Paul Mayer, a DSP specialist with a background in both academic and professional audio software development. Mayer applied his knowledge to create a raytracing-based audio engine that simulates how low-frequency sound interacts with surfaces like floors, walls and ceilings. The tool helps make invisible acoustic phenomena—such as phase cancellation, standing waves, and null points—easier to visualize and understand.

Available for both Mac and Windows, the free software is designed with BassBoss systems in mind, but the insights it provides are universal. By illustrating key acoustic principles, PredictBass helps users identify and avoid phase cancellation issues, resulting in fuller, more consistent low-end response.
