In 2011 AFMG has expanded the EASE suite of programs by two more remarkable tools.

Located in Berlin, Germany, AFMG is a worldwide leader in software for the pro-audio industry and has created the industry standards EASE and EASERA software for acoustic simulation and measurement. AFMG is a worldwide leader in software for the pro-audio industry and has created the industry standards EASE and EASERA software for acoustic simulation and measurement as well as their related products EASE Focus, EASERA SysTune, EASE Address and EASE SpeakerLab. AFMG SoundFlow simulates absorption, reflection, and transmission of sound by multi-layered structures. AFMG Reflex can model the reflection, diffusion, and scattering of a sound wave hitting any 2D structured surface. Both programs provide an immense increase to the accuracy of acoustical simulations by enhancing the wall materials used in EASE.

When architecture connects spaces, sound often follows.

At a multi-purpose facility of Primax Technology in Taipei, Taiwan the sixth floor doubles as an event space - while offices are located directly below on the fifth and fourth floors.

Open staircases and multi-level voids create an impressive architectural connection. But for acoustic planners, they raise a critical question: How can event sound be controlled without compromising the architectural concept or the required sound level in the event space?

Before construction, Chiu Tai Chi from Field Acoustics Inc. investigated exactly this challenge using a detailed three-floor model in EASE 5 and AURA ray tracing.

The simulation made it possible to analyze how direct, reflected and diffracted sound would travel through the open stairwell, interact with the glass curtain wall, and ultimately affect the offices below.

The result: a focused architectural adjustment with a measurable acoustic benefit of reduced predicted sound transmission to the offices by approximately 3 dB overall - identified before construction, while keeping sound levels in the event area essentially unchanged.

Curious what made the difference?

EASE 5.85 adds reverberation onset mapping to Acousteer and direct editing of project scattering coefficients.

Scattering coefficients can now also be modified directly within the project, making it easier to prepare material data for AURA calculations.

🔹 Edit values numerically at one-third-octave resolution in the Material Properties window, or drag curve points in the new Materials in Use scattering editor.
🔹 Display the original curve alongside the modified curve for comparison.
🔹 Export octave-band averages from the tabular view. Scattering data is also saved with MAT files and EASE 4 project exports.
🔹 Project scattering editing is available in Standard and Pro. Scattering data is used in AURA ray-tracing calculations; it does not affect the statistically based calculations in the main program.

The new real-time mapping visualizes when reflections become dense enough that individual reflections can no longer be distinguished and the reverberant field begins to be perceived as relatively homogeneous.

🔹 Reverberation onset is referenced to the perceived arrival time by default, accounting for the precedence effect. A dedicated option allows using the physical arrival time instead.
🔹 Color scale, spatial resolution, isolines, and shadowing can be configured, with settings stored in the simulation configuration.

If you need to determine STI when designing sound systems, you are already familiar with the standard workflow: modifying the model, running a calculation, opening the results, comparing them, and repeating the process.

EASE 5 significantly streamlines this process.

It is now possible to visualize STI directly within the 3D view using the Acousteer real-time engine. Simply moving or reorienting a loudspeaker, changing its gain, adjusting room absorption, or modifying the background noise spectrum allows the changes to be seen instantly across all audience areas.

The calculation follows the indirect method defined in the IEC 60268-16:2020 standard. It combines the direct sound field with a statistically derived reverberant field and accounts for background noise masking as well as signal-level-dependent masking of the speech signal.

This immediate feedback helps answer the questions underlying poor STI results: Is coverage insufficient? Is reverberation the limiting factor? Is background noise dominant? Or is the level of the reproduced speech itself part of the problem?

The map is only part of the picture. Acousteer also updates the STI distribution graphs, along with the mean value, standard deviation, and minimum and maximum values.

Learn more about how real-time STI mapping works in EASE 5.84:

Can you recreate a legendary sound system that disappeared more than 50 years ago? It turns out you can.

A master's thesis at University of Applied Sciences Berlin digitally reconstructed one of the most influential sound reinforcement systems in history, the 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱'𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱.

Using historical research, engineering calculations, EASE SpeakerLab, custom GLL development, EASE 5 simulation, and binaural auralization, the project recreated the iconic 1974 system as a digital model.

The result is a sound system that can once again be analyzed, experienced through headphones, and preserved for future generations.

It is a reminder that acoustic simulation is not only a powerful tool for designing tomorrow's sound systems. It can also help us preserve and better understand some of the most innovative ideas from the past, even when the original hardware or environment no longer exists.

How do you improve speech intelligibility in a highly reverberant historic church when acoustic treatment is not an option?

Through precise electroacoustic design using acoustic simulation.

Built in 1891, São José e Santa Felicidade Parish in Curitiba, Brazil, presented a demanding challenge: improve speech clarity without altering its protected architecture, sacred paintings, or historic character.

Proeco - Soluções em Acústica e Vibrações combined in-situ measurements with a detailed EASE 5 model and AURA Mapping to evaluate alternative loudspeaker configurations, coverage, SPL, reverberation time, and STIPA.

By repositioning existing loudspeakers, adding carefully selected new units, and implementing a distributed delay strategy, the team raised the average measured STIPA from approximately 0.31 to 0.47. The final system also kept 95% of the audience area within the target range of 66 ± 3 dB.

The project demonstrates that acoustic simulation can help reconcile two challenging goals: preserving architectural heritage and making every spoken word clearer.

EASE 5.84 moves the STI calculation into the Acousteer real-time environment

STI calculation is not new to EASE, but now our robust calculation method is live in the Acousteer real-time engine.
Following the IEC 60268-16 standard on speech intelligibility, changes to loudspeaker position, orientation, gain, room absorption, or background noise now update the STI map and its distribution statistics - without requiring a separate calculation and post-processing cycle.

🔹 The calculations take into account the direct field, statistically derived reverberation, signal-to-noise ratio, noise masking, and signal masking.
🔹 Noise and signal masking can be enabled independently to identify which factor limits intelligibility.
🔹 The color scale, spatial resolution, isolines, and shading can be configured for the analysis.
🔹 Simulation configurations preserve calculation and visualization settings to enable repeatable comparisons.
🔹 The selected statistical method (Eyring or Sabine) is identified in the 3D view.
