L-Acoustics Soundvision Autosplay
Known for building technology that shapes professional sound solutions, L-Acoustics announced new tools and improvements to its design, processing and control toolkit at Prolight + Sound in March 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany.
New features to Soundvision, LA Network Manager and the launch of the P1 AVB processor and upcoming measurement platform offer automated assistance in the comprehensive measurement and optimization of L-Acoustics’ systems, the company reports, putting powerful new tools into the hands of its global network of partners and allowing increased performance across all L-Acoustics systems.
Soundvision
The first manufacturer to launch a 3D, real-time acoustical simulation program, L-Acoustics has constantly improved Soundvision, assuring it stays the most powerful sound design tool on the market, it reports. Soundvision users will benefit from new Autosplay and Autofilter features.
Obtaining the best sound relies predominantly on physics -- choosing the right cabinets for the job and optimizing them mechanically. To accomplish this, the Autosplay feature allows sound designers to define their target SPL along the audience and Autosplay will rapidly calculate the optimal speaker angles. Once speaker hangs are defined, Autofilter applies DSP settings to ensure the system is further optimized for even, clear coverage throughout any venue.

LA Network Manager
L-Acoustics’ real time systems control and monitoring software, LA Network Manager sees the addition of Autoalign to automatically calculate proposed relative delay and polarity for complementary systems like subwoofers and fills. Once in live mode, the new Autoclimate tool integrates temperature and humidity information from sensors on the P1AVB processor and allows the user to adapt the system response to changing atmospheric conditions, without revisiting prior workflow steps.

While these new tools provide an optimized path to system design and show control, the user remains in full command, able to adjust any parameter by hand at any time.
“These evolutions to our product ecosystem offer the best of both worlds to our partners -- a clear path to highest system performance while keeping our users in control," reports Jeff Rocha, director of product management at L-Acoustics.
The new Soundvision and LA Network Manager features release throughout 2018.
