Product Development: PD9 - Creating High-Resolution Modeling Data for Loudspeakers and Line Arrays
Presenter:Stefan Feistel, AFMG Technologies GmbH - Berlin, Germany
Abstract:
This tutorial will discuss all important aspects of developing and publishing loudspeaker data, e.g., GLL files, for sound system modeling and optimization software. Particular focus will be put on the business aspects and technical implications of data acquisition, loudspeaker data formats, certification, and distribution to end users. It is demonstrated how mechanical information, acoustic measurements, and DSP configuration merge into one encompassing data set that describes a loudspeaker system as a whole. It is also explained how DSP control software and other tools can directly interface with modeling and optimization software in order to simplify workflows and improve user experience. Finally, typical application scenarios and best practices are discussed. Examples will be given using EASE, Focus, and Evac software.
