EASE Pro is the right choice for projects with challenging room acoustics, where not only early but also late reflections and reverberation cannot be described by statistical methods. With EASE Pro, the acoustic properties of the room and its interaction with the sound system via reflections and reverberation can be studied in depth. It provides the user with a high level of detailed analysis, resulting in a very realistic impression of the acoustic behavior of a room, even in the most challenging venues, which is also reflected in the binaural data it generates.
- Calculation method
-
EASE Pro uses the advanced AURA raytracing module which is based on a 64-bit engine and supports multi-threading to calculate full-length room impulse responses with high particle density. It also takes into account the effect of sound scattering from structured surfaces and surface materials. EASE Pro is required for rooms with complex geometry, where absorption is not homogeneously distributed, and/or where parts of the model have high or low scattering - resulting in irregular decay of reverberation and several acoustically different areas within the room.
- Typical use cases
-
- Analyzing the acoustic characteristics of rooms with large volumes, echo problems or long reverberation times
- Computing acoustic parameters according to the ISO 3382 standard such as T20, G, C50, LF, LFC
- Assessment of speech intelligibility (STI) in acoustically challenging spaces and/or when using line arrays and steerable columns
- Evaluation of loudspeaker system designs providing lateral and diffuse field energy for immersive room acoustics
- Fast overview of locations with detrimental echoes that affect the sound transmission quality
- Creating high-quality auralizations for a space or venue
- Typical rooms/venues
-
Indoor: rooms with uneven distribution of absorption, complex geometry, large volume, and/or areas of high and low scattering like cathedrals, mosques, airports, railway stations, tunnels, stadiums, industrial buildings
Outdoor: train stations, larger public spaces with reflective surfaces
