Developed by Brusi Acoustics, a consulting firm for electroacoustic and an independent laboratory for loudspeaker directivity testing, it is marketed by Doctor Pro Audio, a leading web portal. This multi-lingual app (currently speaking Simplified Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish), contains many calculations, utilities and reference information. It is therefore a useful tool for anyone dealing with PA, sound reinforcement, sound systems, electroacoustic, pro-audio - as well as lighting.
Explaining the sponsorship decision, Francesco Fanicchi, Powersoft's brand and communications director, said, "We have decided to implement our brand on the app, by focusing on a dedicated session regarding the Powersoft limiter thresholds."
This Powersoft tool has been developed to help users set a starting point for a limiter setup, performing real life tests to validate and tune the results. To use this tool, users simply need to select AES power - Nominal Impedance - Safety Level (from 'Safe' to 'Performance') of speakers and the consequent result will enable them to set a maximum voltage (i.e. Threshold Vrms - Threshold Vpeak - Clip V).
José Brusi, the developer of the app, commented, "I hold the Powersoft brand in very high esteem for its constant innovation, both inside and outside of their comfort zone, so it's great to see Powersoft as a sponsor of PAcalculate and join the ever growing community of users across the different platforms."
