About EASE Data

Sound system projects are more likely to go to plan when you have a reliable indicator in advance of how the speaker system will perform in the venue. Turbosound engineers are able to assist you with your system design using the industry-standard EASE program to aid in the quest to find the perfect system for the job. Although we cannot replace the role of an acoustical consultant, we can provide a good indication of system performance to back up the proposal.

Statistically, more jobs are won and more sales are made when a project has been properly and scientifically designed, along with the facility to show the client a convincing visual representation of the finished design. This cuts a large amount of guesswork out of the process, and is the reason why we actively encourage you to make use of our design resources to help you or your customers to win that next job. EASE is also a useful tool for addressing acoustic issues in the venue, for example to justify adding acoustic treatment to a room such as cladding a wall or balcony face. Having a graphical model can strengthen the proposal and ultimately ensure a better result.

Overview

EASE (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers) is a sophisticated sound system design tool and acoustic simulation software package for Windows PCs, created by SDA (Software Design Ahmert GmbH, Berlin). It enables extremely accurate acoustic calculations to be realised both for indoor venues and outside spaces. In this way acoustic parameters and properties can be calculated for audience areas or even particular listener seats. EASE is particularly useful where a large number of speakers may be used, i.e. in concert halls, stadiums and public buildings.

The EASE application itself is comprehensive and can account for a wide range of surface properties, i.e. absorption and dispersion and also early reflections, directivity and phase characteristics. 3D acoustical models can be created for computing parameters such as RT (Reverb Time), IR (Impulse Response) and SPL (Sound Pressure Level) distribution for sound reinforcement and speech intelligibility.

There are a variety of module upgrades that enhance EASE’s capabilities, such as AURA (Analysis Utility for Room Acoustics) which has become a standard for modelling spaces in three dimensions along with the VISION rendering engine. EASE VIEW loads OpenGL and Mapping files as used in the design

EARS is an auralisation module that allows the determination of audio quality, and the comparison of old against new sound system installs, by locating sound sources in the virtual room, or open air space, using convolving and binaural techniques.

TCS COMPACT SERIES specifications

The Turbosound TCS Compact Series represents a significant evolution in compact sound reinforcement solutions, offering exceptional audio quality and versatile applications for both live sound and permanent installations. With a focus on performance and portability, the TCS series is designed to meet the demands of various environments, from concert halls to corporate events.

One of the standout features of the TCS Compact Series is its innovative design, which combines advanced acoustical engineering with cutting-edge materials. The cabinets are constructed from high-grade plywood, providing robustness while still being lightweight, making transport and setup effortless. The series includes both full-range models and dedicated subwoofers, allowing users to create customized sound systems tailored to their specific needs.

The TCS Series employs a proprietary waveguide technology that ensures a wide and even dispersion of sound, resulting in a consistent audio experience across a wide listening area. This feature is particularly beneficial in large venues where audience members may be located at varying distances from the stage.

Another notable technology integrated into the TCS Compact Series is the use of high-performance transducers. These drivers are engineered for optimum efficiency and clarity, delivering powerful low frequencies and crisp highs. The subwoofers are specifically designed to complement the full-range units, providing a deep bass response that enhances the overall sound quality of any performance.

The TCS series also features advanced rigging options, allowing for flexible deployment configurations. Whether flown in an array or positioned on the ground, the cabinets can be easily adapted to suit the venue's acoustics. This versatility makes them an ideal choice for both temporary setups and permanent installations.

Connectivity is another area where the TCS Compact Series excels. With a range of input and output options, including high-quality connectors, users can seamlessly integrate the systems with various mixing consoles and audio sources.

In summary, the Turbosound TCS Compact Series is a powerful, versatile, and durable solution for audio professionals seeking high-quality sound reinforcement. Its combination of innovative design, advanced technologies, and user-friendly features positions it as a go-to choice for live sound engineers and installation specialists alike. Whether for touring acts, corporate events, or fixed installations, the TCS series delivers exceptional performance you can rely on.
