using ease (enhanced acoustic simulator for engineers) v4.2.1
TRANSCRIPT
Using EASE (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers) V4.2.1, we are able to create a virtual room that
is represented above. Using this room (speaker coverage model) we can show how various
loudspeakers will perform within this space with an “apples to apples” comparison.
We will compare a rendering of sound in a slice through the room at the average listener’s ear height –
we call these slices “Audience Areas”
First let us look at the Yamaha Wave Force (WF-112 x 3) speakers you are presently using. Our first
rendering will be 250 Hz Broadband – meaning we are looking at the direct sound delivered to the
audience areas from the loudspeaker from 250 Hz and up.
Notice the ‘hot spot’ right at the podium location.
Community iHP1596 x 3 Speaker System
Using the same room, we will now view the Community iHP1596 x 3 Speaker System at 250 Hz
Broadband – that is from 250 Hz and up direct SPL from the loudspeakers to the audience areas
Community iHP1296 x 3 Speaker System
Using the same room, we will now view the Community iHP1296 x 3 Speaker System at 250 Hz
Broadband – that is from 250 Hz and up direct SPL from the loudspeakers to the audience areas
Electro Voice FRI+ 152/94 x 4 Speaker System
Using the same room, we will now view the Electro Voice FRI+ 152/94 x 4 Speaker System at 250 Hz
Broadband – that is from 250 Hz and up direct SPL from the loudspeakers to the audience areas
Electro Voice FRI+ 122/94 x 4 Speaker System
Using the same room, we will now view the Electro Voice FRI+ 122/94 x 4 Speaker System at 250 Hz
Broadband – that is from 250 Hz and up direct SPL from the loudspeakers to the audience areas
JBL AM4215/95 x 2 Speaker System
Using the same room, we will now view the JBL AM4212/95 x2 Speaker System at 250 Hz Broadband –
that is from 250 Hz and up direct SPL from the loudspeakers to the audience areas
Renkus Heinz PN12/6-4(T) with STX2M-94 Downfills Speaker System
Using the same room, we will now view the Renkus Heinz PN12/6-4(T) with STX2M-94 Downfills Speaker
System at 250 Hz Broadband – that is from 250 Hz and up direct SPL from the loudspeakers to the
audience areas
Let us look at the rendering at 1000 Hz using the Renkus Heinz PN12/6-4(T) with STX2M-94 Downfills
Speaker System
Now we will look at the rendering of 2500 Hz using the Renkus Heinz PN12/6-4(T) with STX2M-94
Downfills Speaker System
This rendering using the Renkus Heinz PN12/6-4(T) with STX2M-94 Downfills Speaker System is of 4000
Hz
Please note that all speaker systems were modeled in the same room. There were no changes made to
the speaker systems other than aiming them for best overall results. No Equalization or other
parameters were adjusted with the exception of the Renkus Heinz cluster which was turned down by
10dB to achieve similar SPL results at the audience areas.
All speakers are inserted into the model as the manufacturer has provided such measurements and
speaker parameters to users of EASE as specified by the EASE software provider.
