USA - Meyer Sound has announced that the company will release high-resolution measurement data for its loudspeakers in the GLL (Generic Loudspeaker Library) format, enabling users of EASE design and simulation software to do system design modelling using Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeakers. The GLL format stores data in considerably higher resolution than the EASE SPK database used by previous versions of EASE, resulting in more precise predictions.

Meyer Sound's patented MAPP Online Pro acoustical prediction programme will continue to be the preferred prediction tool when designing Meyer Sound systems. Available at no charge to qualified users, MAPP Online Pro provides accurate predictions and valuable features including a rigging calculator, virtual EQ, and a variety of viewing options for system designers to anticipate and avoid coverage problems, eliminating onsite adjustments.

"The utility of acoustical prediction programs depends on several factors, including the accuracy of the measurement data used to model the individual loudspeakers, the consistency of the product from cabinet to cabinet," says Meyer Sound CEO John Meyer, "and finally on the quality of the algorithms used to process that data. With its adoption of higher-resolution GLL data, EASE has become a much more useful platform for accurate system modelling, enabling its users to evaluate Meyer Sound loudspeaker performance simulations with a good degree of confidence."

"We are happy to provide those who find EASE a comfortable and familiar tool with a new range of high-performance loudspeaker options when formulating their designs," adds Meyer. "We strive to give customers all the tools they need to effectively evaluate and specify Meyer Sound loudspeakers." Meyer Sound will release GLL data for its most popular products by May 2009, with all current product data available in that format by June 2009.
