Martin Audio upgrades display software
- Details
For the first time, Display will be available to anyone that registers for the software. Dom Harter, managing director, explains: “MLA users for years have told us that it does things that no other competitor product can do and that we should make this easier for the industry to recognise. Part of this understanding is making Display 2.3 more readily available for the industry to familiarise itself with and to demystify the process. The launch of Wavefront Precision - which has seen unprecedented demand - also precipitated the need to democratise this software.”
Jason Baird, R&D director explains further: “Display 2.3 calculates both inter-cabinet splay angles and the DSP parameters for optimum system performance in any given space. Unlike competitor systems, which generally use a basic geometric calculation to aim their arrays, Display adopts a completely revolutionary and patented approach. Using an extremely accurate computer model of the array to analyse the system performance in a drawing of the venue it is possible to calculate precisely the parameters for the system, in order to get exactly the coverage that has been specified.
“As a system designer you get to determine exactly how you would like the system to perform in the space. This includes the SPL contour from the front to the back of your audience region, how much spill into non-audience areas is acceptable - and it will even specify designated "hard-avoid" areas that the system will actively process to reduce spill to a minimum; great for producing a quiet stage or for reducing noise pollution off-site at outdoor events.”
Summing up, Harter says, “With Display our current array product is now integrated into one optimisation platform, delivering benefits that no other system can achieve, while Vu-Net is allowing control and monitoring of our leading live sound portfolio solutions, making it easier for our users, and presenting a compelling case for Martin Audio to own the stage.” Software can be downloaded from Martin Audio’s website: https://martin-audio.com/software
