Martin Audio has upgraded its Vu-Net and Display optimisation, control and monitoring software platforms.
Display 2.3 integrates the recently announced Wavefront Precision series featuring scalable optimisation, while Vu-Net 2.1 integrates control and monitoring for the company’s new iKon amplifiers, Wavefront Precision Series and XE stage monitors.
‘MLA users for years have told us that it does things that no other competitor product can do and that we should make this easier for the industry to recognise,’ says Martin Audio MD, Dom Harter. ‘Part of this understanding is making Display 2.3 more readily available for the industry to familiarise itself with and to demystify the process. Wavefront Precision – which has seen unprecedented demand – also precipitated the need to democratise this software.’
‘Display 2.3 calculates both inter-cabinet splay angles and the DSP parameters for optimum system performance in any given space,’ adds R&D Director, Jason Baird. ‘Unlike competitor systems, which generally use a basic geometric calculation to aim their arrays, Display adopts a completely revolutionary and patented approach. Using an extremely accurate computer model of the array to analyse the system performance in a drawing of the venue it is possible to calculate precisely the parameters for the system, in order to get exactly the coverage that has been specified.
‘As a system designer, you determine exactly how you would like the system to perform in a space. This includes the SPL contour from the front to the back of your audience region, how much spill into non-audience areas is acceptable – and it will even specify designated ‘hard-avoid’ areas that the system will actively process to reduce spill to a minimum; great for producing a quiet stage or for reducing noise pollution off-site at outdoor events.’
‘With Display, our current array product is now integrated into one optimisation platform, delivering benefits that no other system can achieve, while Vu-Net is allowing control and monitoring of our leading live sound portfolio solutions, making it easier for our users, and presenting a compelling case for Martin Audio to own the stage,’ Harter says.
