What does CATT
and CATT-Acoustic stand for?
- CATT
is
an acronym for Computer Aided Theater Technique
since theater lighting and decor CAD programs were the first CATT
products in 1986. Since 1988, CATT has concentrated on
software for acoustics prediction/auralization (CATT-Acoustic)
and FIR reverberation tools (The
FIReverb Suite).
- In a JASA
paper ("Acoustic, acoustics", Robert T.
Beyer, JASA 98(1), July 1995) the historical origins of the
words
acoustic and acoustics were researched. A reference from the 17th
century
was presented where the word "Catacoustics" was used to describe
reflected
sound (direct sound was called "Acoustics", and refracted sound was
called
"Diacoustics"). This makes the name CATT-Acoustic have some
meaningful
acoustical background since, in deed, reflected sound is exactly what
it
is about. This is of course pure coincidence since the software was
named
in 1988.
