MARTIN AUDIO DELIVERS SIGNIFICANT UPGRADE TO MLA SOFTWARE

Martin Audio has announced a significant upgrade to Display, the software brain of the MLA Series. Jason Baird, Research & Development Director, Martin Audio, describes it as, “the world’s most accurate prediction and optimisation array software, bar none.”

Display is the numerical optimisation process that eliminates lengthy trial-and-error tuning sessions making the MLA Series system achieve the required audience coverage straight out of the box.

The upgradation is based on a highly accurate acoustic model of array behavior and gives a very precise prediction of the direct sound produced over the audience as well as areas where sound is to be minimised. Generating ready-to-use DSP filter configurations and comprehensive rigging information it includes mechanical load safety analysis.

The patented optimisation process evaluates thousands of potential array configurations against multiple target functions such as frequency response, flatness and sound leakage into non-audience areas. With the computer working behind the scenes, the engineer retains full artistic control over the system’s balance or ‘house curve’. Display simply replicates what the engineer hears at the mix position to the entire audience.
