EASE SpeakerLab

EASE SpeakerLab is the software tool used to create, edit, and view loudspeaker models (GLL files) for use with the EASE family of simulation products: EASE, EASE Focus 2, EASE Address, EASE Evac, and FIRmaker.
​
The Pro version of EASE SpeakerLab adds various advanced simulation and viewing functions as well as capabilities to export to other loudspeaker modeling data formats.

EASE SpeakerLab Basic is bundled as a complementary software with every purchase of EASE Standard or EASE JR.
Loudspeaker manufacturers will benefit from the use of EASE SpeakerLab by being able to create and publish GLL files for their loudspeakers.  Manufacturers, as well as loudspeaker design engineers and application engineers, may find EASE SpeakerLab to be a very useful and powerful design tool.

Once the directivity data and the on-axis response have been measured for a loudspeaker they can be imported into EASE SpeakerLab to create a model for that loudspeaker. 
While the GLL data format supports a single set of measurements for a complete loudspeaker cabinet, AFMG recommends so-called multi-source measurements. For a true multi-source measurement set, the complex polar data of each individual driver or pass band of the loudspeaker will be measured separately. This does not only provide the highest quality during simulation but also allows extensive interaction for the R&D engineer.
​
The multi-source GLL can add crossover filters, equalization, and delay separately to provide an accurate calculation of the total response for the loudspeaker system. 
Many different potential filter options can be evaluated very quickly to optimize the design of a loudspeaker system. Measurements of passive, active, or DSP-based crossover filters can also be imported into EASE SpeakerLab and used to calculate the total response for a loudspeaker system.


Feature Overview

EASE SpeakerLab supports all features offered by AFMG's award-winning GLL data format for loudspeakers. Given below is an overview. Please browse through the pictures to get an impression of the remarkable powers of this format and the flexible implemenatation it has found in EASE SpeakerLab.
  • Create GLL loudspeaker modeling data for use in EASE, EASE Focus, EASE Evac, EASE Address and by AFMG FIRmaker.
  • Import impulse response and complex frequency response measurements from common measurement platforms such as EASERA, MLSSA or Monkey Forest.
  • Accurately model a line array with many elements or a loudspeaker with several transducers using magnitude and phase directional data in high resolution.
  • Display directivity map, polar graphs, off-axis transfer functions, or beamwidth graphs to view off-axis response.
  • Calculate loudspeaker response at any distance with or without air attenuation of high frequencies for any temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure.  
  • Apply DSP-style signal processing to individual sound sources and/or the entire loudspeaker system.  
  • Embed multiple filter (crossover and/or EQ) options for a loudspeaker that the end-user can select while the exact filter details stay hidden inside the GLL, remaining inaccessible to the end-user.  
  • Accurately model the different user settings for a loudspeaker system that yield different responses within the same GLL file.  
  • Multiple input configurations to allow for single input (passive full-range operation) or multiple inputs (bi-, tri-, quad-amp operation).  
  • Create and save GLL configurations that can be recalled later or sent to customers as recommended presets.  
  • Calculate the maximum SPL (based on thermal limitations) for a multi-source GLL with different crossover filters and different input signal spectra.  
  • Simulate behavior of multiple point source drivers to investigate optimum placement and crossovers even before a new prototype is actually built and measured. Add piston and line sources to your designs with SpeakerLab Pro.

Paragon Acoustic Consultants had been reviewing different room acoustics software packages to standardise the software used within the practice. Various room acoustic packages were considered, however, a number of the software packages considered proved unfavourable due to limitations of room geometries that can be modelled, limited calculation outputs and general concerns that the software was unnecessarily difficult to use for even straightforward tasks. This practice has reviewed Olive Tree Lab Suite and found the software to be user friendly whilst providing a very high level of functionality. Having rented the software and modelled a number of relatively complex room acoustic projects, we are impressed with the software and in particular the very professional back-up and support provided by P.E. Mediterranean Acoustics R&D. At this stage the modelling functions for outdoor sound have not been used, however, having watched demonstrations by Mediterranean Acoustics via computer link–up the external modelling sections of the software look as impressive as the room acoustics modelling.

The OTL Team is a delight to work with. Amazingly responsive to questions and requests, and constantly improving the product. When it comes to software development & support, many should look at this company as a model to follow.

I would like to appreciate the team of OTL and Premard in terms of their continued support and efforts. OTL has been such a valuable tool that I keep coming back for more. With the new software OTL 4 Pemard has again made an effective tool for Acousticians worldwide.

​I have been using the OTL Lab application for a number of years, mainly for teaching and demonstrations at undergraduate and postgraduate courses in acoustics and noise control. The program is user-friendly and incorporates an advanced high-level 3D designer tool for setting up virtual acoustic environments, allowing easy setting up of case studies and extracting results and maps for radiation and transmission for noise and other sources.
I find very useful the advanced physics engine for sound propagation which allows for wave-based simulations (plane or spherical) considering also atmospheric refraction. This enables OTL to achieve accurate results especially in large scale setups encountered in environmental studies. The interface for immediate comparison of analytical results with standardized approximations (ISO standards) or simplified computational methods such as ray tracing and image-source models allows for comprehensive evaluations in multiple levels of physical detail. Such features which have been utilized by the members of our Audio and Acoustic Technology group during research projects.
The support by the OTL team was extremely helpful and their response immediate, tackling queries at personal level and providing educational webinars for the students.

OTL is an appropriate tool for prediction of acoustic adjustments in room acoustics, outdoor environment and industry. It offers flexibility and an ease of the ability to customize. Thanks for the multi-layered structure for impedance, absorption and SRI prediction.

Although designed for demanding Acoustics applications, Olive Tree Lab has been instrumental in my research and work. Despite its hugely detailed modeling of acoustic properties, primarily addressed to acousticians, through its intuitive interface, it has also proven invaluable for architectural design. Furthermore, the Mediterranean Acoustics team have vastly exceeded my expectations for 'after sales service' and provided a rare blend of scientific expertise and personal care – giving true meaning to the word 'support'.

We find OTL very intuitive and the customer service spectacular. Once the model was properly configured, the mapping software predicted very accurately and was within +/-5dB in comparison to actual field measurements.  We were able to provide client documents that were clear and intuitive and allowed them to prove compliance with local and state noise ordinances.

Pemard did a fantastic job with our custom software application. Costas and Panagiotis were extremely responsive during the development process and were always helpful in immediately addressing our concerns and fixing issues where we found them. The custom software the team developed for us has been of huge help to our room acoustics design process and we could not have done this without their help. I would recommend Pemard to anyone needing custom acoustics software.
