Dear customers, colleagues, and friends,
Welcome to a new issue of the AFMG Newsletter. With this newsletter we would like to inform you about
new products, software updates, trainings, and interesting downloads related to our products.

First Time at InfoComm! – Come and Visit AFMG!

FIRmaker Technology - Talk of the Town
|
|
|
FIRmaker takes system optimization and tuning to the next level: It utilizes the powers of modern
FIR filters to go far beyond basic equalization and beam steering. AFMG’s highly anticipated new
technology tunes the sound coverage of the loudspeaker array to exactly match your venue's audience
areas while at the same time maximizing output SPL and spectral consistency.
You are welcome to our booth for a hands-on demo to see how easily FIRmaker can optimize any
line array system for any venue. A detailed introduction into the ground-breaking technology
will be given in AFMG’s lecture on FIRmaker:

All SysTuners Invited!
|
|
|
The bag is packed! Plenty of SysTuner t-shirts will be travelling to Orlando this week to meet new owners in America.
SysTuners at InfoComm please visit our booth and trade your old shirt for a brand-new SysTuner t-shirt!
(As long as supplies last.)
We will also be happy to show you SysTune's new ability to integrate directly with the Lake Controller.
Additionally, SysTune 1.3 brings new functions that allow users of d&b audiotechnik to exchange data with SysTune easily as well.

EASE InfraRed Module Upgrade for EASE 4.4
|
|
|
A whole number of new features and extensions will be included with the upcoming release of EASE 4.4
later this year. Among those, the InfraRed module has been expanded significantly with an updated
radiator database, the inclusion of receiver types as well as the modeling of 3.3 and 3.8 MHz wideband channels.
Leading IR equipment manufacturers Listen Technologies and Williams Sound are already using the
added functionality in order to incorporate their device data into EASE.

FIRmaker - First Licensees
Much has happened since we introduced our revolutionary new FIRmaker Technology only two months ago.
We have been overwhelmed by the tremendous interest from all over the pro-audio industry.
|
|
|
Today, we are more than happy to announce that K-array has successfully completed their first live tests with FIRmaker.
K-array has been the first company to evaluate and license FIRmaker. As a supporter of the prototype development through
several stages of beta tests and software releases the input from K-array has been essential for the ground-breaking
performance of the new technology.

After inspiring discussions between VUE Audiotechnik and AFMG at the ProLight + Sound trade show in April, the engineers
at VUE have integrated FIRmaker Technology into their al-4 Subcompact Line Array at an incredible pace.
VUE will be
presenting the al-4 Subcompact Line Array with FIRmaker optimization at InfoComm! You are invited to visit
their demo room to see and hear for yourself.

ESS Professional Audio from Hua Nan in China once again demonstrates its leadership in high-quality products and technology.
ESS has been offering accurate line array simulations with EASE Focus and EASE to their customers for many years by now.
Immediately after the launch of FIRmaker, ESS decided to license FIRmaker for use with EASE Focus 2, being the first to
bring the new technology to Asia and to their customers worldwide.

The number of FIRmaker-enabled DSP platforms is rapidly growing. As a response to the interest expressed by many of their
customers, German manufacturer AllDSP recently announced support for AFMG FIRmaker. In cooperation with AFMG, AllDSP
plans to enable both external control units as well as integrated DSP boards for use with FIRmaker. Apart from dedicated
platform integration, FIRmaker is generally able to export FIR filters in basically any file format, e.g. csv, xml or wav.
