The Industry Standard on a New Platform

EASE 5 - Take advantage of the new workflows!

EASE 5 offers numerous new tools and workflows which you can now take advantage of.

No matter if you are new to EASE or an experienced EASE 4 user, we want to invite you to take a closer look at the innovative toolsets for managing your project such as views, tables and selection sets. Get insight into the fast and efficient workflows for creating or importing the 3D model, adjusting room acoustic parameters, tuning the sound system and setting up the signal processing as well as conducting STI assessments.

Here is what you can do:

Acoustic Effect of Audience Areas and Listener Seats in EASE 5

When I enter Audience Areas and/or Listeners Seats, are the seats already considered "occupied" for the mapping calculations? If not - how do I simulate real listeners?

Neither Audience Areas nor Seats do have any acoustical effect on simulation results, thus do not include any absorption data and are therefore acoustically transparent. Audience Areas and Listener Seats serve as receiver points for simulations only.

What do I need to consider when calculating Standard conform STI calculations?

EASE 5 supports the latest standard edition IEC 60268-16:2020. To perform standard compliant STI calculations, we recommend to proceed as follows:

In the IEC 60268-16:2020 standard, since Edition 2020 (Edition 5.0), only a male speaker is provided as the excitation signal. To enable that signal, go to the ACOUSTIC PARAMETERS Window and click on the INPUT SIGNAL Tile. In the PROPERTIES - INPUT SIGNAL Window select Speech.
