BERKELEY, CA — Meyer Sound said it will release high-resolution measurement data for its loudspeakers in the GLL (Generic Loudspeaker Library) format, enabling users of EASE® design and simulation software to do system design modeling using Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeakers.
The EASE software program was created by Acoustic Design Ahnert, and is developed and supported by the Ahnert Feistel Media Group of Berlin, Germany.
According to Meyer Sound, the GLL format stores data in higher resolution than the EASE SPK database used by previous versions of EASE. Meyer Sound also noted that its MAPP Online Pro™ acoustical prediction program will also continue to be used when designing Meyer Sound systems, and, Meyer added, is the preferred prediction tool.
Available at no charge to qualified users, MAPP Online Pro provides predictions and other features including a rigging calculator, virtual EQ, and a variety of viewing options for system designers to anticipate and avoid coverage problems, reducing the need for onsite adjustments.
“The utility of acoustical prediction programs depends on several factors, including the accuracy of the measurement data used to model the individual loudspeakers, the consistency of the product from cabinet to cabinet, and finally on the quality of the algorithms used to process that data,” said John Meyer, Meyer Sound CEO. “With its adoption of higher-resolution GLL data, EASE has become a much more useful platform for accurate system modeling, enabling its users to evaluate Meyer Sound loudspeaker performance simulations with a good degree of confidence.”
“We are happy to provide those who find EASE a comfortable and familiar tool with a new range of high-performance loudspeaker options when formulating their designs,” added Meyer. “We strive to give customers all the tools they need to effectively evaluate and specify Meyer Sound loudspeakers.” Meyer Sound expected to release GLL data for its most popular products by May 2009, with all current product data available in that format by June 2009.
With a registered user base that has more than doubled in the past eight months, Meyer Sound said MAPP Online Pro development and upgrade efforts continues to be a top priority for its software development team.
