Ahnert Feistel Media Group

Located in Berlin, Germany, AFMG® Technologies GmbH has created the industry standards EASE and EASERA software for acoustic simulation and measurement as well as their related products EASE Focus, AFMG SysTune, EASE Address and EASE SpeakerLab.

In cooperation with our partner company SDA Software Design Ahnert GmbH we develop and distribute software for:

Electro-acoustic and
room-acoustic modeling
Electronic and acoustic
measurements
Applications in
engineering and physics
RF and infrared
simulation

We are a loudspeaker company. How can we add our data to EASE Evac?

Adding your data to the EASE Evac loudspeaker database is free of charge. It requires collecting selected loudspeaker performance data and converting it in a binary format.

Acoustic, electronic and mechanical data of the sound source must be assembled in a single data file, the so-called GLL. This GLL file can also include your logo and company information.

Is the program UL Listed or FM Approved for acceptance as proof of the intelligibility of a voice evacuation system?

EASE Evac is not listed by any regulatory or standards agencies for proof of intelligibility. It is intended to be a software tool to help the MNS designer predict the speech intelligibility of a sound system design in a particular space given the surface treatments of the room boundaries.

I draw my EASE room in SketchUp. If I import it in EASE, I do not see all layer names as proposals for EASE materials. What did I do wrong?

The SketchUp import process uses two possible sources for the EASE material of an EASE face.

  1. If the SketchUp face has a SketchUp material attached, then this is the preferred proposal for the EASE material.
  2. If the SketchUp face has the Default material attached, then the layer name is used as a proposal for the EASE material.

How do I create a new EASE 4.x Project from a Sketchup model?

The first step is to keep in mind the usual requirements of an EASE 4.x project. Users creating a model in SketchUp should be aware of the conventions adopted by EASE. For instance, the proper orientation of Faces, and the correct application of Two-Fold Faces, among others.

Here you will find some hints for the construction process in order to successfully import a room into EASE 4.x.

The following Tutorial-Room can be imported and will pass the Check Data process in EASE 4.x without errors:
