Audio Tool is a new free software developed by NEXT-proaudio, which aims to help end-users when configuring speaker and amplifier systems.
The tool includes a database with all the passive speakers from NEXT-proaudio range as well as the available digital and analog amplifiers, M Series, MA Series and Powersoft X Series.
The amplifier's and speaker's databases include several important parameters, from each speaker and amplifier model, that grant the software the ability to calculate the optimum configuration.
With Audio Tool users can, automatically, get the best combination between speakers and amplifiers in order to get the best performance from both devices. The user inputs which speaker model and how many units per amplifier channel and the software sets the recommended amplifier, according to the selected amplifier mode and technology (Stereo/Bridge and Analog/Digital).
Besides that, Audio Tool, is also capable of automatically calculating the proper limiter settings such as Threshold, Attack and Release Times regarding the whole system settings.
There is also a manual mode that allows the user to select which models, of speaker and amplifier, is using and get the convenient limiters and see the system's performance through two colour gauges.
