L-Acoustics has announced a strategic collaboration with AFMG, developers of EASE 5 (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers). The partnership creates a workflow between L-Acoustics Soundvision, a 3D acoustic modeling software that allows sound designers to predict and optimise audio performance, and AFMG's EASE, the brand-agnostic industry standard for acoustic simulation.
The new integration allows sound designers and acoustic consultants to effortlessly transfer their L-Acoustics system designs created in Soundvision directly into EASE 5, providing workflow efficiency while maintaining acoustic accuracy across both platforms.
The latest Soundvision release, available now, includes an EASE 5 export. Sound designers can now transition from Soundvision to EASE 5 eliminating tedious manual recreations and ensuring consistency between both platforms. The new functionality fully supports all L-Acoustics line sources, colinear sources, and coaxial loudspeakers, including L Series, giving designers coverage of main speaker systems while maintaining accurate acoustic modeling capabilities.
One of the most significant advantages of the new export capability is consistency between platforms. Extensive analysis confirms that acoustic results in Soundvision and EASE 5 remain within 0.5 dB tolerance of each other, so predictions remain reliable on both platforms. Particular attention is paid to safety. Designers can ensure the mechanical safety of all the sources in their system design directly in Soundvision before exporting to EASE, maintaining critical safety parameters throughout the process.
