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:
If you have installed the Digidesign ASIO driver, this can cause the problem.
Extract the file from the attached zip below and place it in the folder where "SysTune.stcfg" is located. For your computer that is C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\AFMG\EASERA SysTune (<user> is your log-in name).
This will disable the Digidesign ASIO driver in SysTune only.
In general, all modern audio interfaces have a very high probability of working fine with SysTune. To make use of more than the primary two channels please make sure, that your device is supplied together with a current ASIO driver.
If you like to be sure that your existing hardware can be used in conjunction with our software, we suggest registering for a free 30-day trial version.
Yes, this is possible although AFMG does not recommend it. You need to understand the following background information and proceed with the instructions below to transfer your SysTune User Key between the different environments.
The licensing engine used by AFMG SysTune sees Boot Camp and a virtual machine as different computers.
To use one license under both environments the license has to be migrated from Boot Camp to the virtual machine or vice-versa.
In EASE SpeakerLab create a new project for a "Subwoofer" type loudspeaker:
EASE Focus is a tool limited to the simulation of direct sound from the source to the receiver location. No walls, columns, or other objects can be defined in the software and, thus, are not taken into account in the calculations.
If you would like to include the geometry of the room itself or objects within into your calculations we suggest the use of EASE.
To be used in EASE Focus, a GLL needs to be compiled including a so-called “.author” file. These .author files are encrypted by AFMG explicitly for each loudspeaker model and sent to the manufacturer for GLL creation.
In general, a “model” refers to precisely one configuration of a loudspeaker with exactly one acoustic radiation pattern, the so-called “balloon”. Usually, manufacturers call this a “loudspeaker model” or “loudspeaker type” and give it a unique number within their portfolio.
To customize the installer of EASE Focus for your brand please perform the following easy steps:
In the Options dialog (see page 14 in the Users Guide) on the Environment page you can select Imperial Units. This will then use ft, lbs, °F for all parts of the software.
First you need to select the voltage of the system on the Room page. Then you will be able to select from the available taps on the Sound Sources page or in the properties window.
All floor plan room geometry must be traced from imported drawings or image files using the drawing tools in EASE Evac. The import process does not translate directly to the room geometry.
Supported formats are AutoCAD DXF, Google Sketchup and various image files such as PNG.
"EASE 5 is a big step forward. The completely new user interface combined with lots of useful tools and further improved simulation modules allow for much more intuitive and effective workflows."
“We are currently using EASE 4 in our company and I must say I'm very happy with the changes in EASE 5. The workflow is much faster and more intuitive.”
“EASE 5 provides swift simulation preparation, seamless integration with SketchUp, and visually stunning results, which make it perfect for creating high-quality reports. Its user-friendly design ensures a seamless experience for beginners and professionals, making it a valuable asset for your acoustic simulation needs.”
“EASE 5 is a game changer offering easy to use, intuitive tools and modern workflows. Not only is the ability to import a 3D DWG into EASE 5 out of Vectorworks Spotlight a huge time-saver, but it keeps the consistency throughout all of my engineering programs and allows me to deliver stunning visual content of acoustics and loudspeakers analysis alike, in both 2D and 3D, that every one of my clients can easily understand.“
“Thanks to the AFMG Team for being “agile” with this new version of EASE. It’s reassuring to see that AFMG is taking the user’s feedback into account and continuously upgrades its software with top voted remarks. There has been a lot of new upgrades in few months since the first version that I get, and everything is going on the good direction!”
“Congratulations to the AFMG team for excellent work on EASE 5 so far! The new technology and approach is highly appreciated, visualization and UX is great!”
“EASE 5 makes it easy to create audience areas and align loudspeakers. You can easily orientate yourself in the model at any time, which not only helps when working on the project but also enables a clear presentation for customers.”
“We’re happy to rely on EASE 5 as efficient tool for standard-conform STI and RT calculations. This is how we support the technical planners and architects in an efficient and cost-saving way.”
“EASE 5 greatly simplifies the process of creating and navigating around a 3D model. I was able to quickly learn the new interface and create predictions to help us design a system, and help the customer visualize the end-product.”
