Why use Resolution Software?
EAW Resolution software should be installed and
utilized for a multitude of reasons.
First, it is predictive software that helps

safety, weight, angle, fl ybar, and more.
EAW Resolution software also determines coverage.
Are the SPL and frequency response as desired
everywhere in the venue? Should three or four HDAs be
used? How many subwoofers should be employed in this
particular system? Should the subwoofer(s) be fl own or
placed on the fl oor? What voicing mode is best for this
system? Find out the answers to these questions, and
more, using this software.
It is a great tool for pre-sales, as well. Customers will
be able to see the fi nal setup prior to any purchase.
Therefore, realistic expectations have been set for all
interested parties which results in a better relationship
between the buyer and seller.
