Which loudspeaker types can be optimized by FIRmaker?

The FIRmaker algorithm generally supports optimization of basically any array of loudspeakers. Currently, line arrays and steerable column loudspeakers as well as custom loudspeaker clusters are implemented within the tuning approach in EASE Focus 3.

A prerequisite for the optimization of specific types of loudspeakers will be that the manufacturer has purchased a FIRmaker license.

Can I still control the perceived sound quality when FIRmaker optimization is applied?

Yes, absolutely! You might even notice that your applied EQ will produce more consistent results throughout the whole venue than you have been used to before.

The reason for this is simple. FIRmaker is a  set of numerical algorithms able to optimize your system's performance. "Optimization", in this sense and within the parameters you set, attempts to tune the system for...

Can all brands of loudspeakers be optimized by FIRmaker?

FIRmaker is a technology, a set of algorithms specifically developed by AFMG to be an open solution available to all loudspeaker manufacturers. AFMG believes that it makes sense to support open platforms instead of every manufacturer developing a costly, proprietary solution by himself. This way, AFMG software is available at very competitive prices or even for free while providing a large set of features and the highest quality simulations available in the market.

How do I use my User Keys with multiple computers?

In general, AFMG® grants to you the right to use our software programs on a specific number of computers. This number corresponds to the number of User Keys you have purchased. More specifically, one User Key  can be used only by one user on one machine at any particular point of time.

The following rules need to be considered when the software program is provided to different users within a company or to partners:
