EASE Focus 3 - Universal Sound System Modeling in 3D
With Quint Audio’s proprietary EASE Focus 3, system designers can
simulate the acoustical performance of the entire sound system to find
the optimal setup for a given venue with multiple audience areas,
curved and inclined seating. ease Focus 3 assists the user with many
intelligent features such as auto splay functions, Virtual EQ, and
detailed analysis of sound coverage, SPL and frequency response.
The software is available as a free download from the quint audio
website and from https://focus.afmg.eu/index.php/fc-downloads-
en.html
EASE Focus 3 is the universal tool for the simulation of loudspeaker
systems. It is supported by many major loudspeaker manufacturers
and offers a comprehensive set of features from general design
functions for venues and sound systems all the way to specialized
tuning and optimization features.
You can quickly enter a venue into EASE Focus 3 using differently
shaped basic audience zones and define multiple audience areas
within these. Areas can be placed at different heights and can have
inclining seating. Geometry data can either be entered from an
existing plan using regular X, Y, Z coordinates or by use of polar
coordinates as derived from laser distance and inclinometers on site.
Add additional vertical cutting planes to provide section views for
extended evaluation.
You can add sound systems from the EASE Focus' encompassing
database. EASE Focus 3 suppor ts line arrays, configurable
loudspeakers and columns, typical point sources, and subwoofer
arrays. Each sound source can be tweaked and adjusted in placement,
orientation, and electronic parameters such as gain, polarity, delay,
and a virtual EQ. Up to 40 sound sources, even from different brands,
are supported within one project. Nifty functions for stacking,
snapping, moving, and copying make the setup of larger systems easy.
EASE Focus immediately calculates and shows the sound coverage
on your audience zones and section including the splay angles
between the adjacent cabinets. You can investigate the interaction
between separate sound sources especially in the low and low-mid
frequency range with the "Complex Summation" feature introduced
with EASE Focus 3.
All mappings clearly show the influence of polarity,
phase, and propagation delay of your systems on the
audience areas. Adjust your settings and recalculate in
order to maximize SPL and minimize negative effects.
The “Complex Sum” calculation setting allows effective
simulation and tuning of basically any arrangement of
subwoofer arrays. Place and stack your loudspeakers
freely or insert a pre-configured array. Then tune them
to deliver the desired radiation pattern. While inserting
a new sound source you may specifically add
subwoofers as a subwoofer array. EASE Focus 3 treats
such an array as a single sound source, offers different
parameters to convenientl y configure it, and
automatically computes suggested delays. EASE
Focus provides high accuracy in the full frequency
range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz due to the high internal data
resolution and the GLL data format. Compatible data
structures allow data exchange with EASE and other
AFMG software packages. Fully configured line arrays
can be exported for further use in EASE. Digitally
steered columns and other configurable loudspeakers
require an additional proprietary DLL that can provide
beam steering filters and other manufacturer-specific
settings.
EASE Focus currently supports German, English,
Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and French languages.
