8. An apparatus, comprising
a processor configured to
define a range of passive acoustic filter settings, wherein each passive acoustic filter setting comprises one or more passive acoustic filters to apply to one or more loudspeakers in a loudspeaker array;
calculate a performance criteria of the loudspeaker array by performing a simulation with the passive acoustic filter settings;
identify the passive acoustic filter setting, with which the loudspeaker array achieves optimal uniform sound coverage in a venue; and
apply the passive acoustic filter setting to the loudspeaker array.
