HEAD acoustics Announces ArtemiS Suite Release 14 with HoloMetrix AR Interface

HEAD acoustics announced the launch of its Artemis Suite Release 14 software for sound and vibration analysis. Among the multiple improvements, new features and user interface refinements, the new software introduces a new Augmented Reality (AR) interface, developed in cooperation with HoloMetrix, that makes tasks such as the creation of sound intensity maps for fast source localization much easier, faster, and more reliable.

HEAD acoustics announced a new interesting integration of an Augmented Reality (AR) solution from German startup HoloMetrix to enable highly efficient sound power and sound intensity measurements. The integration with HEAD acoustics Artemis SUITE allows the creation of sound intensity maps for fast source localization, with assistance functions that guide the user through the measurements and offer automatic quality checks with acoustic or visual feedback.

IrcamLAB, the audio software and plug-ins arm of IRCAM (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music), supported and distributed by Plugivery, announced the availability of The Snail v1.3, a high-precision frequency-domain analyzer that offers a new way of analyzing music or tuning an instrument accurately. The software is available as standalone application or AAX / AU / VST3 format plugins, for Windows and macOS.

Electro-Voice introduced Preview, a new platform-independent software application designed to configure Electro-Voice line-array loudspeakers for optimized coverage. The software provides efficient system setup by creating visualizations of coverage, SPL, frequency response and precise mechanical load calculations. Preview quickly calculates the ideal loudspeaker configuration with a full-color 3D interface and recommends mechanically valid combinations of loudspeakers and rigging hardware.

MAAT Incorporated announced the release of a cross platform plug-in and native application for routing, matrixing and visualization of digital audio. The new MAATgo Plug-in represents the debut of MAAT’s first product designed specifically for hi-fi enthusiasts and high resolution audio (HRA) music playback from computers. Available for all major plug-in formats for macOS and Windows, MAATgo delivers complete "preamp" channel routing, plus a software goniometer that authentically replicates an analog oscilloscope experience.

Radical innovation in audio is always happening these days… mostly in software. Ircam Lab, a commercial arm of French research institute IRCAM, just announced the release of their revolutionary new software, The Snail. This modern looking Tuner/Analyser software offers a new and extremely accurate way of tuning and analyzing an instrument.
