Acoustic Simulation: EASE 5’s Acousteer Engine Redefines Design Workflows

Acoustic simulation has long been a cornerstone for audio professionals, yet the iterative process of design, calculation, and analysis has traditionally been hampered by significant computation times and laborious workflows. AFMG's new Acousteer engine introduces a paradigm shift, transforming direct sound field simulation into an interactive, real-time experience.

Audfly, a company exploring directed audio technologies, announce the integration of its groundbreaking Focusound Screen technology in Lenovo’s latest ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 6 All-in-One (AIO) desktop. Unveiled at CES 2025, this innovative solution redefines workplace audio by providing sound privacy and enhanced clarity, all while delivering a personalized listening experience. At CES 2025, the Chinese company demonstrated multiple other directional audio solutions.

Recently, there has been increased demand for loudspeaker 3-D directivity measurements both in the near- and far-fields for different applications. New holographic near-field scanning techniques provide new ways to determine the sound pressure at any point in the 3-D sound field. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, May 2015.
