Powersoft has updated its Armonía Pro Audio Suite remote control and monitoring software, adding an innovative and interactive tuning feature that improves the process of measuring and aligning a sound system and also enables users to work without noise in the surrounding environment.
Armonía v2.10 is now fully integrated with Rational Acoustic Smaart v8, which can read real time, imported or shared location traces (smart, txt, csv, xml). The technology underpins the new tuning plug-in, bringing offline manipulation with EQ, Gain, Polarity, Delay, Sum, Average and Merge. The new workflow for quiet, offline tuning, requires a single set of starting measurements before the process is completed in virtual simulation.
‘The concept of measuring and tuning a sound system has been changed with Armonía,’ says Powersoft System Engineer Manager, Luigi Chelli. ‘Forget about tiring Pink Noise listening sessions and complex multi-microphone set-ups. ‘Measure once and tune quietly’ is the key concept.’
EAW Greyboxes have been integrated into Armonía. Once loaded as a path in Armonía options, the Greyboxes become available in the speaker configuration page complete with a comprehensive range of options is available to perfectly calibrate the sound of the speakers. Options include air-loss compensation and amplifier sizing.
Powersoft has included enhancements to the visualisation of EQ in this latest release. Alongside optimised graphics, automatic frequency-reordered filters keep the most-used filters always to hand.
The latest version of Armonía is also the first public release since the recent launch of the Quattrocanali 1204, 2404 and 4804, as well as the Duecanali 1604. As such, the software update fully supports the control and monitoring of the standard non-DSP versions of these models, giving access to control Gain, Mutes, MaxOutVoltage, as well as metering, faults and warnings,
Further additions include an expanded preset library including presets from Bose SM Series, DAS Aero Series, custom d&b audiotechnik Max12-15, and custom Nexo GeoT. Firmware for all supported devices will also be included in the installation package. Armonía will prompt the user to update device firmware to benefit from all the latest enhancements. Armonía v2.10 software also supports multiple serial ports at once in the Communication Manager and provides minor fixes on the X Series, DSP4 and other models.
The release is ready to download from the newly-launched Armonía website. The website offers users a quick overview of the main features of the software, as well as the latest Armonía tutorial videos. The download process has also been improved and registration is no longer required on the Powersoft website.
