- integrated, automatic impulse response measurements of all loudspeakers and drivers - integrated, automatic time-frequency analysis: direct sound and late reverberation are analyzed separately - graphic display of amplitude & phase response - 10 seconds per channel.
- external, third party measurement tools - pink noise can’t make the difference between the loudspeaker’s sound and the room’s response.
Room equalization
- automatic optimization of amplitude and phase response according to target curves - the loudspeaker and the room are separately equalized - automatic alignment of delays and gains for every loudspeaker - Fine-tuning via FIR, parametric and graphic EQs.
- manual adjustment of parametric and graphic EQs according to the interpretation of the measurements.
Crossover alignment
- optimizes directivity and attack - automatic alignment of delays and gains for every driver - graphic display of filters, amplitude & impulse response - manual fine-tuning.
- manual, time-consuming process.
Bass management
- automatic alignment of the subwoofer’s gain - optimizes the overlapping frequency region - separate subwoofers for L&R channels are supported.
- manual adjustment of the subwoofer’s gain and phase.
Processing platform
- standard linux-intel architecture - 64-bit floating point precision - real-time control via monitor & mouse or through the network via a standard VNC client (PC or Mac) - optional touchscreen.
- proprietary dsp architecture - 32-bit (floating / fixed point) - offline control via proprietary software.
Results
- maximal translation of the mix for a majority of listeners and across multiple rooms.
- highly dependent on know-how about acoustic measurements.
