PK Sound has expanded the feature set of the PK .dynamics proprietary robotic line source system design, control and monitoring software, with the release of v1.5 for Windows and macOS.
New features for v1.5 include the implementation of PK Sound’s Tx14 and Tx26 intelligent point-source modules, which enable users to design and control complete system solutions for mobile and permanent applications. Additionally, a new Auto-Save feature automatically backs up files every 15 minutes for enhanced security and confidence.
‘.dynamics is the core of PK Sound’s technological ecosystem,’ says of PK Sound CEO, Jeremy Bridge. ‘This next-generation application allows system designers and operators to take full advantage of our line source systems and patented Multi-Axis Robotics. It grants our users precise mechanical control of vertical and horizontal acoustic coverage, tailored to the contours of any environment to essentially remove the room from the equation.’
The initial toolset provided in .dynamics includes a Venue tab, where users create, simulate and prepare a virtual workspace, as well as a System tab, where they discover, identify and match real-world sources with the simulation. Additionally, the Robotics tab provides articulation and optimisation for the system’s multi-axis coverage, while Tune is where EQ is applied and system parameters adjusted through onboard DSP. Finally, Live affords users with monitor system performance in real-time, and Status offers diagnostics management and service notes logging directly in the loudspeaker, if needed.
Built on an Electron backbone, PK .dynamics employs HTML5, Sass and TypeScript to provide a robust user experience and modern design. Leveraging a microservice-based architecture for flexibility and scalability, the application offers a consistently evolving feature set. This architecture allows .dynamics to drive PK Sound products using the AES70 standard over a Milan-ready AVB network.
