Consulting to manufacturers

Ever since i designed an automated platform (for DAS Audio) for directivity measurements and processing in 1992, i have been involved in custom array modelling. I have written numerous algorithms to perform all sorts of calculations. 

My services to loudspeaker manufacturers are as follows:

• Array plugins for modelling software
  
  I have extensive experience with developing these. Over the last 3 years i have spent a lot of time researching the best approaches for line array modelling.
  
  I can develop array plugins for versions 1 or 2 of EaseFocus (generic line array aiming software) as well as EASE (which uses the same files as EaseFocus 2).
  Since some kind of aiming software is an absolute must for line array systems, EaseFocus is a universal software that is used in combination of acoustical modules created for every box model. Manufacturers such as DAS (Spain), Turbosound (UK), QSC (USA), TOA (Japan), Peavey (USA) and Dynacord (Germany) are part of the list of manufacturers using EaseFocus.
  Plugins may be designed using Huygens modelling as well as standard point-source modeling.

• Development of directivity measurement and post-processing platforms
  Polar measurements are essential for correct system design as well as for sound system modelling. I can design a high resolution measurement system that includes all post-processing to achieve a powerful system capable of very comprehensive reporting as well as conversion to loudspeaker modelling formats (EASE and CLF, as well as older formats if needed).
  
  
  Numerical reporting includes: 
  • Beamwidth (-3, -6 and -10 dB, 1/3rd oct., 1 oct, right, left, up, down, horizontal, vertical)
  • Q&Di (1/3rd oct., 1 oct)
  
  
  Graphical reporting includes:
  • Beamwidth (1/3rd oct., 1 oct., 1 oct, right, left, up, down, horizontal, vertical)
  • Q&Di (smoothed 24 point/oct, 1/3rd oct., 1 oct)
  • Power (smoothed and unsmoothed 24 point/oct, 1/3rd oct., 1 oct)
  • Relative frequency responses (smoothed, 1/3rd oct., right, left, up, down)
  • Absolute frequency responses (smoothed, 1/3rd oct., right, left, up, down)
  • Isobar and waterfall displays (horizontal, vertical)
  •  Polar plots (1/3 oct. and 1 oct.)
  
  

• Marketing
  I can help with defining a product line and generating powerful technical marketing materials. Specifically, due to my past experience, i can particularly help with reaching the Spanish speaking worldwide market.
