Located in Berlin, Germany, AFMG® Technologies GmbH has created the industry standards EASE and EASERA software for acoustic simulation and measurement as well as their related products EASE Focus, AFMG SysTune, EASE Address and EASE SpeakerLab.
In cooperation with our partner company SDA Software Design Ahnert GmbH we develop and distribute software for:
The purpose of this document is to provide you a working knowledge of the program and its many features and capabilities. The Tutorial Sections will lead you through most of the important EASERA / EASERA Pro features, including measurements and evaluating measured data files.
This tutorial is available in both English and German languages.
Due to the worldwide pandemic AFMG has decided not to exhibit at the InfoComm in Orlando, Florida, USA in 2021.
Find more details at the InfoComm 2021 main page.
We’re looking forward to continue our regular participation at InfoComm in 2022.
This training is a 3-days online live seminar for EASE beginners.
In the seminar you learn all the basics and principles of EASE and how to use it.
We explain the basics of acoustic theory, such as the calculation of reverberation time and the principle of ray tracing, in an easily understandable way.
This training is planned to take place in November/December 2021.
The exact date will be announced as soon as it is fixed.
To improve flexibility, we have organized the upcoming online EASE® training in a series of modules that can be configured in different ways to cover the topics needed by the attendee. See a description of each module below.
Within your subscription you will always receive the latest AFMG SDK for the GLL Plug-In API. This Software Development Kit contains all current API libraries and information on how to implement them in order to develop your own GLL Plug-Ins.
Creating GLL Plug-Ins is straightforward. In the following a technical overview of this process is given.
Since the implementation of FIRmaker will be done individually for each loudspeaker system and in close partnership with each loudspeaker manufacturer, the DSP controller platform/software will need to integrate closely with FIRmaker as well. Different levels of integration are possible, depending on the loudspeaker systems in use and the degree of usability manufacturers want to present to their users:
AFMG SDK for DSP Communication Service
In order to facilitate the transfer of FIR filters to third party DSP software, AFMG provides manufacturers with an SDK for our DSP Communication Service. With this software development kit, the DSP manufacturer is able to develop its own server module that automates the communication with EASE Focus 3. This functionality significantly speeds up the work of sound system designers and consultants.
Various simulations and experiments have been carried out by AFMG. So far results indicate that a minimum of 250 taps at 48 kHz is required in order to achieve good performance for the majority of use cases. A number of 500 to 1000 taps are recommended for complicated setups.
Processing of 250 FIR coefficients at 48 kHz corresponds to 5 ms of latency.
"EASE 5 is a big step forward. The completely new user interface combined with lots of useful tools and further improved simulation modules allow for much more intuitive and effective workflows."
“We are currently using EASE 4 in our company and I must say I'm very happy with the changes in EASE 5. The workflow is much faster and more intuitive.”
“EASE 5 provides swift simulation preparation, seamless integration with SketchUp, and visually stunning results, which make it perfect for creating high-quality reports. Its user-friendly design ensures a seamless experience for beginners and professionals, making it a valuable asset for your acoustic simulation needs.”
“EASE 5 is a game changer offering easy to use, intuitive tools and modern workflows. Not only is the ability to import a 3D DWG into EASE 5 out of Vectorworks Spotlight a huge time-saver, but it keeps the consistency throughout all of my engineering programs and allows me to deliver stunning visual content of acoustics and loudspeakers analysis alike, in both 2D and 3D, that every one of my clients can easily understand.“
“Thanks to the AFMG Team for being “agile” with this new version of EASE. It’s reassuring to see that AFMG is taking the user’s feedback into account and continuously upgrades its software with top voted remarks. There has been a lot of new upgrades in few months since the first version that I get, and everything is going on the good direction!”
“Congratulations to the AFMG team for excellent work on EASE 5 so far! The new technology and approach is highly appreciated, visualization and UX is great!”
“EASE 5 makes it easy to create audience areas and align loudspeakers. You can easily orientate yourself in the model at any time, which not only helps when working on the project but also enables a clear presentation for customers.”
“We’re happy to rely on EASE 5 as efficient tool for standard-conform STI and RT calculations. This is how we support the technical planners and architects in an efficient and cost-saving way.”
“EASE 5 greatly simplifies the process of creating and navigating around a 3D model. I was able to quickly learn the new interface and create predictions to help us design a system, and help the customer visualize the end-product.”
