If the signal strength is above the design guidelines in all seats, the design is acceptable. If not, radiators can be relocated or re-aimed, or additional or more powerful radiators added until a satisfactory result is achieved. The technique is able to make allowances for different levels of room illumination and interference from lighting systems. Directions for use of the data, including design guidelines, are part of an applications note prepared by Brown and distributed by Sennheiser. Since an EASE model has already been prepared for that use, it takes only another few minutes to model the infrared system.
Budgets are always tight.
The money saved by installing fewer radiators can translate into allowing the purchase of additional microphones. Sennheiser is providing the IR contractor community with the EASE for IR data file at no charge. The data files are also being provided to Acoustic Design Ahnert for certification.
