APG has released NESS, the industry’s first-ever free spatialisation software developed by a manufacturer.
‘Going against the industry trend of monetising access to spatialisation for audio professionals and aficionados alike, APG will unveil NESS for the first time to an international audience at ISE, after presenting the software at JTSE,’ the company says.
According to Arbane Groupe Marketing Director, Eric Grandmougin: ‘NESS isn’t just another spatialisation software. Before everything else, it is a human and technical experience. The Wave Field Synthesis principles have been publicly available for decades, and it didn’t seem right to capitalise on knowledge that is freely available. We are merely trying to give back to the audio community, by providing technicians and enthusiasts with a tool that is not only simple to use, but also fairly extensive to create spatialised sound.’
With NESS, APG aims to offer a robust, reliable spatialisation solution based on established, proven audio algorithms and principles. Available to download from the Arbane Groupe website, NESS enables entertainment and corporate venue operators, including bars and nightclubs, theatres and conference rooms, to experiment with and benefit from immersive sound.
‘Our ambition is to create a thriving community of users around NESS in order to tailor its development towards customer needs and expectations,’ Grandmougin says. ‘Although NESS is compatible with any loudspeaker brand, it is also a great platform to experience APG speaker’s even coverage performance, in particular with the iX range.’
