Every release, in plain words.

A redesigned workspace. A discipline selector and Plan, 3D, Zones, Rack and Wiring tabs run across the top. The Project explorer on the left holds floors, areas, devices and the library; the Inspector on the right shows Results, Properties and Equipment.

A floating dock zooms and fits the canvas. Focus hides the side columns, and Present opens the client presentation and the walk-in.

Wall editor: click a wall to set its length, add a point, bend it into an arc, or give it a material (glass, brick, wood, concrete or drywall). Materials show in 3D and feed the Wi-Fi and acoustic calculations.

Set the plan scale from two points on an imported PDF, image or CAD plan.

Speakers sit anywhere in an area or follow the nearest wall. Mounting and height are set separately, and the aim survives a trip to 3D. A side view shows where the beam meets listening height.

Real 3D models of speakers, access points and cameras, on a light architectural model with wall thickness and materials.

Wiring in three views: a System diagram with rack and room containers, a port-level Schematic with cable IDs and a cable schedule, and printable Room sheets. The wiring exports as an editable DXF with cable layers and a legend.

Prepare reports opens a full-page report workspace: packages for client, installer or full handover, an introduction per venue type, and a live PDF preview with contents and bookmarks. Download is the only button that saves a file.

Review design lists every open check across the project, with one-click fixes. Client handover prints plan, equipment and connection schedules. Site tracking records measured SPL, STI and RT60 per area through installation.

The Learning Centre replaces the Help panel: a visual tour of four narrated, captioned lessons recorded from the tool, searchable task guides and troubleshooting, and a printable user manual per discipline.

The Equipment tab lists what is installed in the selected area, or across the whole project including the rack. Either view exports as CSV.

Reopening a project could start a second copy of it in My projects. Saves are now compared as designs, so the project joins the record that already holds it.

Delete Area 1 and draw a new one, and it used to become Area 2. A new area now takes the lowest free number, and gaps in the middle are filled first.

A subwoofer used to lift an area’s SPL average, headroom and verdict by several dB, because the heatmap summed it as a full-range speaker. Broadband figures now come from the mains alone, so an area with a sub reads a few dB lower. That is the correction.

Subwoofers are judged in their own range: the 63 and 125 Hz bands, a low-frequency extension row, and a new check of subwoofer level against the mains.

In an area with speakers and subwoofers, the subs count separately: two speakers and a sub read 1, 2 and 1. The numbering holds on the plan, in 3D, in the report, in the installation schedule and in the wiring diagram.

The System Diagram in the report used drawn speaker art. Its PDF and PNG now carry the same product photos as the screen.

A refresh could lose the last thing you did, such as a level trim. The last changes are now written the moment you leave and read back when the tool reopens, and every per-speaker tuning control is saved like any other change.

The report’s 3D area view showed the whole floor, small. It now shows only the area the page documents, filling the picture, and a long terrace is viewed across its long side.

Every area reads the same way in the report, the room cards, the proposal and the plan: its extent and its floor area, as in 35.4 m × 2.7 m · 95.6 m².

A DML flat panel keeps its 165° × 165° window and its 3 dB per doubling of distance in the ceiling, as on the wall.

The report’s 3D area view is now the System 3D itself, framed on the area: walls, open sky, speakers, coverage and SPL chips as the screen shows them.

A zone with more speakers than its amplifier has channels now spans a second unit. Channel counts, the amp plan, the cable schedule and the wiring diagram follow the split, and Auto-assign splits a zone when no single unit has the channels.

Speakers could move after a visit to the 3D view. A click in 3D now only selects, corners and chips respond only while the edit handles show, and a dragged speaker moves exactly as far as you drag it.

Peak power handling follows one rule: the datasheet’s peak figure wins, an AES rating gives 4 × AES, and anything else gives 4 × the rating. The allowance counts only as far as the assigned amplifier can deliver it, and the verdict reads the continuous level first.

Cameras and the recorder are priced lines: a CCTV group in the proposal, Camera and NVR rows in the BOM CSV, and a CCTV category in the quote lines.

A new project could carry the previous one’s video, control, rack and CCTV settings. Every way of replacing a project now starts from a clean slate.

A template started over an open project no longer saves itself into that project.

Clear rack empties the cabinet and resets its size. Clear diagram empties the wiring sheet, and Undo brings it back.

Video distribution and Control and automation gain Clear all. A video design drawn for areas that were since renamed or deleted says it is out of date.

Wi-Fi coverage measured distance along the floor, so right under a ceiling access point it reported −33 dBm, which no meter could read. The model now uses the real slant from the ceiling to the device: the peak under an access point reads about −51 dBm, and coverage percentages are unchanged.

A wall shared by two areas cost the Wi-Fi signal twice: a 15 dB concrete wall cost 30. Each wall now costs what its label says, once. Coverage through heavy interior walls improves, and auto-place may need fewer access points.

Quote lines carry the proposal’s currency, so a USD quote imports into Zoho Books or QuickBooks as USD.

Outdoor areas no longer get the reverberant field of a sealed room. An open sky adds none, and an open side shortens the estimated RT60.

Headroom is worked out one way everywhere: the results panel, the standards table and the PDF share one figure. Signal to noise is worked out against the room’s ambient.

70 V and 100 V lines: auto-assign offers only amplifiers with a line output, keeps the 80% channel rule, and moves the line load, the heatmap and the DSP limiter together.

CCTV: a fisheye’s reach is corrected, DORI bands are drawn as floor distances, and the NVR is sized for every floor. The PoE audit reports port class and a budget in its last 10%.

Multi-floor exports: the cable pull schedule, the IP plan and the DSP preset cover every floor, and catalogue prices include every floor and the access points.

The Get started panel could come back after you closed it and block clicks on the plan. It now stays closed.

The text size button only ever got bigger. It is now a menu of four sizes with the current one ticked, and 100%, marked Original, is one click away.

A long area name in a schedule no longer runs through the row beneath it. Every schedule row is as tall as its contents.

An inch mark in a product name could push a CSV row into the wrong columns. All CSV exports now protect their contents.

The button that docks the rack or the wiring beside the plan sits at the right of the title bar, next to close.

The proposal exports Quote lines, a CSV made for Zoho Books or QuickBooks: one table, a part code on every row, and only the lines left in the proposal. Import it as an estimate instead of retyping it.

The rack elevation and the single-line diagram open as a full page again, and the tool remembers whether you prefer them full page or docked beside the plan.

Closing the rack or the wiring diagram returns you to the plan.

The rack designer and the wiring diagram fit the space they are given, so the device list, the settings, Auto-fill and the legend are back in reach.

The Coverage Advisor now knows how you mounted a speaker, so a ceiling-mounted flat panel is no longer planned as a run around the walls.

Every export covers the whole building: the proposal, its cover image, and the 2D and 3D CAD. The 2D CAD places the floors side by side, each one labelled.

The aim you set on a speaker survives a recalculation.

Speaker counts are reworked. Coverage now counts to the real −6 dB edge at the throw distance, counts are not padded to an even number, and the worst-case level is sampled across the actual room.

L-shaped and traced areas are measured by their real shape rather than the rectangle around them, so floor area, perimeter and volume are right.

Tuning an area to its target no longer reads as a loss of capability. The verdict says which of the two you are looking at.

The sound wave in 3D draws only for the area you are working on.

Tuning is per area. A restaurant can be tuned to its target while a demo area runs at full output, in one project.

Set the target level you want for each area, and the advisor sizes the system for it.

Put your own image on the proposal cover. CAD exports carry a legend naming every symbol, and flat panel speakers are drawn as panels.

A client 3D tour link can be given a lifetime and revoked. New links expire after 90 days.

The 3D view is a model rather than an editor. The editing handles are hidden, so the screen can be turned to a client as it is.

The Coverage Advisor plans for the mount you used. A 12.7 × 6.2 m room with three ceiling panels is no longer told to add seven more.

The rack, the zones and the wiring diagram are tabs above the plan: views of the same project, not separate windows.

A text size control at 100%, 115%, 130% or 150%. It scales the whole interface and is remembered on your computer.

Sound-leak marks are small badges, coloured by how far the spill is above the neighbour’s ambient, and the Layers menu can hide them.

The area results lead with the verdict and keep it in view; the rest folds away. Several speakers of one model are one line.

My projects shows what this computer saved and what your account holds in the cloud, in one list.

A project you make is copied to your account in the background, so it is on every machine you sign in from.

Opening a project from a file no longer overwrites the project that was open.

Reloading no longer leaves a second copy of the same project in the list.

With no system ticked, generating a report now says so clearly. When a browser blocks the extra downloads of separate files, the tool says so and suggests the single combined PDF.

Multi-floor projects: as many floors as the building needs, each with its own plan, areas and devices. The rack, zones and wiring serve the whole building, and the 3D view can stack every floor at its real height.

CCTV design: camera views clipped by the walls, a pixel-density map graded per EN 62676-4, NVR and storage sizing for the retention you need, a PoE budget and a camera schedule.

Wi-Fi coverage: a live signal map per band (2.4, 5 or 6 GHz) with real wall losses per material. Auto-place hits a coverage target, and a ports check counts every connected device against the switches.

Video distribution: a TV, LED screen or projector per area. Auto-design picks an HDBaseT matrix or AV-over-IP and adds the Netvio parts to the rack and the BOM.

Projects save themselves. A moment after you stop working, the project is saved, and it reopens by itself next time.

Replace model: swap one speaker, every one of that model in the area, or the whole design. Positions and aim are kept.

Templates for a villa, a restaurant, a retail unit or an office. Import products from a CSV, and apply your own price list across the job.

Automatic backups every few minutes and on every save. Restore any of the last 25 with one click.

Import a DXF or DWG plan and trace it to scale. Export a branded report per system, or all of them in one PDF.

Reports that include the video system download again.

A traced rectangle lays out exactly like one typed in.

Names with characters such as <, >, & or quotes always display as plain text.

Zones on other floors keep their amplifier when areas are edited.

Place a standing or a seated person where the sound matters. Each listens at real ear height, 1.7 m or 1.2 m, and the design is evaluated there.

Coverage spotlights: every speaker casts a beam coloured by its SPL, in the 3D view and the walk-in.

Front, Rear, Side and Top buttons snap the 3D camera, and the nearest wall turns see-through as you orbit.

Sound wave: coloured wavefronts travel out from every speaker, matched to the SPL heatmap, in the 3D view, the walk-in and Share 3D.

Sound wave in the 3D view: wavefronts leave every speaker and sweep the listening plane, 150 times slower than real sound, so the eye can follow.

Drag any number to change it. Hold Shift for bigger steps, or click once and type.

DML flat panels are modelled as distributed-mode radiators: about 3 dB lost per doubling of distance out to about 10 m, with 165° dispersion.

A Commissioning and Tuning section in Help covers the treatment advisor, room modes and sub placement, time alignment, site calibration and the ray-traced check.

Speaker counts follow common practice, and speakers are never packed closer than 2 m. A 20 m² café now suggests 4 to 6 ceiling speakers, not 12.

Optimize spacing snaps rectangular rooms to an even grid.

System reports: Audio, Video, Automation, Wiring and Rack, each as its own PDF or bundled into one. The Audio report carries per-area plans, the SPL heatmap, the acoustics and a QR code to each area’s 3D tour.

The single-line diagram reflows for portrait or landscape, and its PDF fits the whole system on one page or adds detail sheets.

A Gym and fitness venue preset, with a 98 dB target, a 1.2 s RT60 and a 78 dBA noise floor.

Command palette: Ctrl or Cmd and K jumps to any tool, menu, library or export by name.

Dark mode for the whole interface. Designs, heatmaps and reports are unchanged.

Control and automation design sizes an ELAN system for the touch panels, door stations and cameras on the job: an EL-SC-150 for small jobs, an EL-SC-350 for larger ones, and EL-IO-200 expanders when the ports run out.

A port-load readout, validation and a control schedule. The controller and expanders go into the rack and the BOM, and the client proposal gains a Control and automation section.

Video distribution design: the smallest HDBaseT matrix that fits your sources and screens, with a receiver at each display rated for its cable run, 40 m or 70 m. It switches to AV-over-IP when a matrix cannot fit.

The single-line diagram draws the video system end to end, with the real rear panels of Netvio and Nice ELAN devices.

An automatic wire router: cables route around the equipment and around each other, in clean corridors. Wiring drawn by hand is kept.

The single-line diagram PDF captures every wire route on large systems.

Place a glass door on any wall. It shows as a clear pane in 3D and in the client view, and reflects sound like glass.

The reverberant field was about 11 dB low, which made STI and direct-to-reverberant figures too optimistic. The corrected model shows which rooms need treatment or delay.

Ray-traced floor map: RT60, clarity (C50) or STI painted across the whole floor.

Ray-Traced Check (beta): 24,000 rays per speaker through the room’s real geometry, with per-octave absorption, giving RT60, C50 and STI at each focus pin beside the statistical model.

Focus pins: mark where the sound matters, such as the bar or a stage. Tuning, time alignment and site calibration all reference them.

Treatment advisor: how many square metres of absorption a reverberant room needs, and the predicted speech clarity after treatment.

The heatmap updates live while you drag a speaker.

Apply layout places the recommended grid in one click, and Optimize spacing evens it out.

The High accuracy layer adds the first reflection off the walls, floor and ceiling to the map.

The DSP preset export is a branded PDF commissioning sheet: level, polarity, filters, crossover, parametric EQ, limiter and delay for every output.
