GLL loudspeaker data format develops into industry standardThe Generic Loudspeaker Library (GLL) data format was developed by AFMG and published spring 2007. Since then the GLL data format has received increasing support from forward-thinking loudspeaker manufacturers, consultants and professional users.
Among several others, the following companies have recently published GLL data for their loudspeakers or announced their support for the format:

Bouyer, France
Community, USA
Electro-Voice, USA
Martin Audio, UK
Meyer Sound, USA
QSC, USA
Renkus-Heinz, USA
SoundTube, USA
Tannoy, UK
Technomad, USA
TOA, Japan

Most of the current and all future AFMG software platforms support the GLL data format, such as:

EASE 4.2 and 4.3
EASE Focus v2.0
EASE Address
EASE SpeakerLab
GLL Viewer

125 AES Preprint 7524: Methods and Limitations of Line Source Simulation

In March 2009 the AES standards committee published AES56-2008, the new standard for loudspeaker modeling and measurement. After many years of discussion, finally a modern description format using high-resolution impulse response or complex frequency response data was agreed upon by a group of experts from the industry.
In fact, most of the procedures and sets of information suggested in this new AES Standard are already implemented in the Generic Loudspeaker Library (GLL) data format.

Any corrections necessary can be made conveniently from the FOH position using the SysTune interface acting on the integrated NEXUS audio network DSPs. Of course, if reference microphones are required, these are connected and their signals forwarded using the NEXUS network. This reduces considerably the lengthy and expensive cabling of live productions.

Instructor Markus Zehner comments: “There is a strong interest of many professionals in the live sound business to further deepen their system tuning knowledge as well as their proficiency with AFMG's leading real-time analysis software SysTune. We have seen a very positive response from the field to the new, 2-day format class with an even stronger focus on the combination of practical measurements and theoretical background.”. Our thanks go to the hosts of TTS Tontechnikschule, TWAudio, dBTechnologies and MediasPro.
Another series of seminars is already planned for this fall. Please contact us for more information: support[AT]afmg.eu.
