This format can then be used for auralizations in specialized listening rooms to produce a very natural, full surround sound field played back on multi-channel loudspeaker setups.Īlready presented as a preview at last year’s InfoComm show, the final version of the all-new EASE InfraRed module is now available together with EASE 4.4. The AURA module also provides the output of locally calculated impulse responses in Ambisonics B-format.

Acousticians can evaluate echograms and histograms, getting an accurate and encompassing insight into the field of reflections which can be expected at any given point in a room. Along with a set of additional parameters that can be derived from sophisticated ray-tracing calculations, it incorporates a range of sound scattering simulation options which can be used to achieve highly realistic results.ĪURA fully supports multi-threading, making best use of modern CPUs with multiple kernels. The AURA module is the most important add-on to EASE Standard. New version 4.4 provides expanded import/export compatibility with Trimble SketchUp, Autodesk AutoCAD and a long list of others, DXF-compatible CAD programs, as well as the update of STI calculations that are now performed according to IEC 60268-16:2011. Stefan Feistel, AFMG managing director, explains that, “Due to the risen requirements for speech intelligibility of voice evacuation systems in all areas of public life, recent years have shown a large increase of EASE design projects from shopping malls to airport terminals, industrial plants, and even oil drilling platforms.” The EASE software suite consists of two different program versions and three optional modules to cover all demands of acoustical simulations, starting with professional sound system design with EASE JR to highly intricate acoustic designs of concert halls and the like with EASE Standard together with the AURA module. At the upcoming Prolight+Sound/Musikmesse in Frankfurt, AFMG will be releasing EASE version 4.4 acoustic simulation software that provides a host of upgrades.
