Their winning article, selected as the outstanding paper published in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society during the previous two years, is titled Methods and Limitations of Line Source Simulation. The award "is to be made solely on the merit and quality of the published work" according to AES guidelines.
"We are proud to accept this award in recognition of our work on accurate and efficient measurement and modelling of line arrays", says Stefan Feistel of AFMG. "We have developed techniques that are now in constant use worldwide. This paper outlines the methodology behind simulating the performance of modern line arrays with EASE DLL's and the GLL (Generic Loudspeaker Library), derives the related mathematical framework and presents guidelines for loudspeaker data acquisition. With the essential participation of Martin Audio's Ambrose Thompson, we were able to demonstrate the practical feasibility and applicability of the approach."
