This professional version of Loudspeaker Computer Aided Design adds features to the standard version of this program. Articles written by the designer of SoundEasy have appeared in Speaker Builder and audioXpress magazines.
The EasyLab module requires a full duplex 16-bit sound card. SoundEasy is intended for fast Pentium processors such as the Pentium 4(TM) 1.7 GHz requiring a minimum of 196 Mb RAM of memory. The EasyLab-Advanced measurement system now includes 9 measurement screens allowing for analog and digital measurements. It includes 10 built-in enclosure models, as well as the ability to design your own. The BoxCad program is included with SoundEasy and provides advanced enclosure design. Finite Element Method (FEM) has been developed to handle complex room geometries. It provides for the complex characterization of all drivers. 11.00 is a Windows XP/2000 program which operates in time and frequency domains, modeling the complete design and advanced optimization process for up to 5-way loudspeaker systems. System requirements: Pentium or better processor, Windows 95/98/ME/NT 4.0/2000, 32MB RAM minimum, 64KB recommended 300MB+ hard disk space SVGA monitor (800圆00, 16Bpp.). * Special media player to compare "before" and "after" wave files and hear how room elements affect the acoustics. * Run an "Auralization" and find out how the room acoustics influence music in the modelled room. * Suggests room modifications to improve the "Acoustic Ambiance" of the modelled room.
* Optimized calculating times so that simple rooms are calculated 1000 times faster than before! * Calculate and evaluate the "Acoustic Ambiance" of the room design using the reverberation time spectrum. * Can define symmetry constraint options such as equal spacing to front and side walls. * Loudspeaker Editor models 1-5 way loudspeakers, active/passive subwoofers, and dipole radiating flat panels. * Converter window for changing dimensions from standard to metric. Features include: * Room Design Wizard offers a number of predefined floor plan templates. Graphs and diagrams including 3D picture sequences will help locate the optimum position of loudspeakers in the described space. Numerous calculation features to evaluate a variety of room effects. Databases for room materials and loudspeakers are enhanced by editing capabilities allowing you to add your own custom elements. It will help with room design by letting you create a floor plan up to 100m X 100m with added features for celing angles, pillars, etc. Now includes a tutorial CD to get you up and running using CARA faster than ever! CARA is designed to assist you in achieving perfect sound at home.
