G-Sonique have released PA Club Soundsystem Emulator, available at the intro price of €17.90 for the first 70 customers, increasing to €29.90 after the promotion.
Have you ever tried to play your music in a club? Do you know that it will most likely sound completely different on a club sound system than on small
monitors or hifi? Do you know that many problems in sound, resonances and unpleasant frequencies in the mix will probably be emphasized/multiplied
many times (in multiples of x10) because high-powered PA amplifiers will amplify the sound/signal in multiples of several 100x?
If you produce electronic dance music, it’s quite a problem. It should sound good in clubs and festivals. However, testing every mix and master in the club is
very difficult and often impossible.
Q-Sonique have designed a PA sound system simulator that simulates not only various sound systems (advanced IR response + modeling technology),
but also amplifiers and processors (in front of passive high-performance speakers, there are usually many limiters, multi-band compressors, protectors,
crossovers and amplifiers, especially separated for bass and especially for mid-treble speakers, high power amplifiers that significantly affect the sound
and also add THD distortion).
The sound is significantly affected by the acoustics of the space because very loud sound is reflected more then quieter sound (also crowd affect sound, for example, it makes a difference if the club is empty – then the sound is usually sharper and reflects more from the walls) than when it is full – a crowd of people can break up the sound more – softening the reflections and sharpness of the sound. In addition, G-Sonique also simulate the drive / the strength of the input signal, you will definitely recognize the fact when a DJ plays “to the red levels on the mixer” when he clips not only the mixer, but also the limiters in the processors and various protection equipment/limiters that prevent the speakers from firing. In other words, the louder the input, the more unpleasant the sound, but many DJs like to play at the max volume and therefore you can set different levels of input signal strength with the knob.
In addition to amplifiers, distortion is also created by the loudspeakers themselves and their woofers placed in iron frames, especially if they go to the maximum of their acoustic performance (that’s why many high-end sound systems are said to only go to 40-50% of the maximum possible performance) G-Sonique developed the PA Club soundsystem tester not only with DSP engineers , but also with live sound engineers, DJs and producers such as Toxic Elements, Synthaix, DJ Byg Byzniss or DJ Adidaso with Slovakian slav squad).
