EASE 4 Tutorial
EASE 4.x OpenGL Check Utility
Comments:
This can check the OpenGl compliance of your computer / graphics card / display drivers.
This version allows you to switch between software and hardware accelerated modes to clearly show hardware acceleration driver problems.
Additionally this tool allows you to read and save the OpenGL configuration for EASE.
MS Excel Templates for EASE 4.x Data
This software is a standalone-software, there is no installation of EASE required.
Comments: This file allows you to create
- Wall Material files in EASE 4.0 ASCII-format (xwm)
- Loudspeaker files in EASE 4.0 ASCII-format (xld)
- Speaker Data files in EASE 4.0 ASCII-format (xhn)
- using the interface of Microsoft Excel 2000
Includes:
EASE 4.x EGLViewer for EASE OpenGL Files
This software is a standalone-software, there is no installation of EASE required.
Comments:
This file allows you viewing EASE OpenGL Files (*.egl) independently from EASE
EASE 4.x Cleaning Wizard
Comments:
This application allows you to easily remove any information created by EASE and thus to troubleshoot software problems.
How many DSP channels are necessary for a FIRmaker setup?
FIRmaker is able to work with any number of DSP channels. AFMG's general-purpose approach is one DSP channel per cabinet.
In very large arrays it will be possible to combine two or even three cabinets into a single source driven by one FIR DSP channel without too much trade-off.
The number of FIR and amplifier channels used per cabinet is not limited, on the other hand. Dozens of channels could be calculated by FIRmaker per box. Even vertical + horizontal optimization would be possible if implemented by the loudspeaker manufacturer.
Can single loudspeakers be optimized with FIRmaker?
This depends on the type of loudspeaker. FIRmaker can optimize the coverage of a column loudspeaker, or any other single loudspeaker that has multiple drivers operating in the same frequency region.
Theoretically it would be possible to use the FIRmaker algorithm as a simple tool to generate FIR-based crossover filters for conventional loudspeakers. However, FIRmaker was originally not intended as an optimization tool for a loudspeaker with only one, or very few, drivers operating in the same pass band (frequency range).
FIRmaker is a universal optimization technology. - Are there any trade-offs?
FIRmaker can be considered a universal optimization solution. It is capable of being used with almost any loudspeaker that is licensed for the technology by its manufacturer. It may differ in its implementation and optimization algorithm from those of proprietary solutions.
What would a typical optimization approach look like?
Two things are needed as a basis for FIRmaker optimization:
