Fulcrum Acoustic has announced Version 1.3 of its One design, simulation and control software, offering key improvements and new features to expand its control and design capabilities.

Object-based mixing improvements include support for 2D and 3D loudspeaker arrangements along with new rendering controls, bringing spatial audio systems into loudspeaker layouts and venues of all shapes and sizes. Users can accommodate unconventional loudspeaker designs or different sound sources in a cohesive mixing environment, fine-tuning each element for optimal musicality.

One 1.3 includes support for Fulcrum’s Active Bass Control. This feature uses dedicated ‘control’ subwoofers paired with a Venueflex processor to minimise unwanted low-frequency issues, delivering a tighter, more controlled bass response. Fulcrum’s automated calibration process can now be controlled fully through the One software.

This update also brings advanced DSP loudspeaker optimisation, including new steering capabilities for Fulcrum Acoustic AHS loudspeakers. Designed for high-output, large-scale applications, the AHS series provides precise pattern control and long-throw coverage through modular, digitally steerable arrays. With One 1.3, users gain new tools to design, configure and manage AHS systems in real-time, streamlining set-up in challenging environments like stadia and other large venues.

‘We are continually improving our One software based on user feedback and the growing requirements of our customers,’ says VP of Software & Immersive, Dr Paul Henderson. ‘Version 1.3 is an exciting update for us as we are making several of our core technologies more easily accessible to designers and end users.’
