Custom Loudspeaker Processing

Powerful DSP filter design software for audio professionals

Create custom FIR filters & complete mixed FIR+IIR presets for single & multi-way loudspeakers (or any DSP-based audio playback device).

Filter design involves complex computations. We do the math so you don’t have to. Just follow the workflow & use the controls to set the required parameters.

Load your audio measurements to get started. (Or use Direct Design mode to build FIR filters without measurements.)

Demo versions include pre-loaded measurements.

Filters & presets for EQ & so much more

enhancement

Maximise the audio quality of an individual loudspeaker, device or entire system.

matching

Match different makes & models of loudspeakers in install systems.

tuning

Create tunings & presets with specific phase & magnitude characteristics.

correction

Perform system or room correction.

Limitless customization options

Single or multi-channel FIR or FIR+IIR design.

Real-time filter calculation & FIR error display.

Multiple FIR sample rates plus independent sample rates on input filtering & each output channel.

Automated, non-destructive resampling of imported measurements. (Measure at one sample rate and export filters at a different sample rate.)

Manual & auto FIR filter magnitude & phase adjustment, plus post-auto FIR EQ voicing.

Comprehensive range of IIR filter types & automatic IIR generation of parametric filters.

FIR filter resampling (change the sample rate of a FIR filter).

Integrated measurement averaging.

Brand emulations & integrations

Comprehensive range of different measurement file formats supported.

Smaart® Control for live measurement streaming & capture.

Branded IIR modes ensure IIR filter settings match the destination processor by automatically adjusting for brand-specific variations in IIR filter interpretation.

IIR Reference Editor with one-click filter conversion between processor brands.

Multiple FIR export formats for loading filters/presets into any product with user-accessible settings.

Direct-to-processor (DTP) functionality replaces manual export/load for some amps & processors.
