Based on a highly accurate acoustic model of array behaviour, it gives a very precise prediction of the direct sound produced over the audience as well as areas where sound is to be minimised. It takes the guesswork out of array design, deployment and control - generating ready-to-use DSP filter configurations and comprehensive rigging information, including mechanical load safety analysis.
The patented optimisation process evaluates thousands of potential array configurations against multiple target functions - such as frequency response, flatness and sound leakage into non-audie

Says company founder Marc Brunke, "Throughout the years there have been many voices that believed MADI would not survive the increased number of network protocols. However, we have observed the complete opposite - MADI is the easiest and most popular multi-channel protocol, and is built into almost any professional equipment."
He adds that it is the many advantages of MADI that help it retain its popularity - in addition to its easy implementation by any manufacturer. It is extremely cost-effective, there is no problem with inter-operability between different manufacturers, it doesn't require any special network equipment and it offers very high performance with very low latency.
As well as introducing two Key Rack packages, which provide a unified amping system solution for a variety of HK Audio's passive loudspeaker ranges - including Linear 5, ConTour, ConTour Array and Premium PR:O - HK is set to reveal innovations in the rental, touring and installation sectors.
These follow on the back of the many system solutions the company premiered to huge success at the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) show in Amsterdam in March.
