# Adding 3rd Party Speakers

In most real-world venues, third-party loudspeakers are part of the sound system design—typically used as fills or delays in areas where the main HOLOPLOT array coverage may be supplemented. HOLOPLOT Plan now allows you to incorporate these speakers directly into your project, simulate them, and route them through HOLOPLOT Processors.

### When to use third-party speakers

Use third-party speaker templates when:

* You need **front fills**, **under-balcony delays**, or **off-axis support** in your venue
* You're working in an existing venue that already has non-HOLOPLOT hardware
* You want to simulate and plan for the complete sound system, not just the HOLOPLOT array

By incorporating third-party speakers into HOLOPLOT Plan, you can now model full venue coverage more comprehensively, making informed design decisions that consider the entire acoustic environment.
