PREDICTION SOFTWARE: EASE FOCUS 3
To aim correctly a complete system of AX16CL and/or AX8CL (SW212A
always stays on the floor) we suggests to use always the suitable aiming
software:
EASE Focus 3 Aiming Software
is a 3D Acoustic Modelling Software
that serves for the configuration and modelling of Line Arrays and
conventional speakers close to reality. It only considers the direct field,
created by the complex addition of the sound contributions of the
individual loudspeakers or array components.
The design of EASE Focus is targeted at the end user. It allows the easy
and quick prediction of the array performance in a given venue. The
scientific base of EASE Focus stems from EASE, the professional electro-
and room acoustic simulation software developed by AFMG Technologies
GmbH. It is based on the EASE GLL loudspeaker data file required for
its use. The GLL file contains the data that defines the Line Array with
regard to its possible configurations as well as to its geometrical and
acoustical properties.
Download the EASE Focus 3 app from the AXIOM website at https://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads section
of the product.
Use the menu option
Edit / Import System Definition File
to import the GLL file, the detailed instructions to use the program are
located in the menu option

.
Note: Some windows system can require the .NET Framework 4 that can be download from website at https://focus.afmg.eu/.
SYSTEM PROCESSING BASIC INSTRUCTION
AX16CL/AX8CL need an external processor to take care of the filtering, the time alignment and the speaker protection. When
powered from the SW212A amplifier output, the sub-woofer’s CORE2 DSP takes care of all the processing and three different presets
are available:
SW212A
PRESET
Elements of Column Array
AX16CL
AX8CL
AX8CL
2 x AX16CL
2 to 3
3 to 4
1 + 1 to 2
4 x AX16CL
3 to 4
6 to 8
1 + 4 to 8
or
2 + 2 to 4
or
3 + 1 to 2
1 x AX16CL
1
1 to 2
1 + 1
As can be seen from the table some combinations of array elements can be used with different presets. For example if you have
3 AX16CL you can use both the 2 x AX16CL preset and the 4 x AX16CL preset, depending on the balance between subwoofer and
columns you want to obtain: by choosing 2x there the balance will be shifted towards the high frequencies, while by choosing 4x
the balance will be shifted towards the low frequencies.
Using the PRONET AX software, additional EQ, LEVEL and DELAY adjustments can be added to the basic presets and new presets
can be saved in the SW212A user memories.
When using the QC2.4 or QC 4.4 amplifiers to power the AX16CL/AX8CL, the correct presets must be loaded into the amplifier’s
DSP memory according to the number of columns connected.
