A new compilation since the last (64 bit) revision was extremely slow. This one has normal speed.

[28 nov 2019]

New beta revision implementing unicode in the player in an attempt to support languages with complex letters, such as japanese and chinese.

[20 nov 2019]

New beta revision where the check speaker connection has been addressed.

[18 sep 2019]

This is a beta release that involves major changes to the code, and only limited bug testing has been undertaken. The beta is released early due to high demand from users who have experienced measurement problems lately. The combination of usb mic and usb card has created problems frequently. If something else fails, the measurement can always be uploaded in Audiolense 5.5 for further processing.

The release also contains a way to deal with a multiseat correction problem where exceptions deep down made the measurements files unfit for the multiseat pool.

All other users are mostly welcome to test the beta. Some of you may get better sound – and we appreciate any help we can get with identifying new bugs that have emerged.

Audiolense 3.0 is a thorough makeover and represents a huge step forward.

* New and improved correction procedures in all three versions of Audiolense.

We recommend that all users install the new version and keep the old one just in case.

[20 jan 2008]

Audiolense 1.2.2941.26985

Time alignment resampling bug fixed. The time alignment was not properly resampled earlier.

[8 dec 2007]

Audiolense 1.2

Now with a complete rework of the measuremodule – including support for Asio, Direct Sound and Windows MME. In addition:

The measurement bandwidth is further improved. Even the shortest measurement at 44,1 kHz will now be ruler flat to over 20 kHz. The measurement procedure is much faster. We have speeded up the generation of measurement files and the impulse response generation. Use Asio if you can. If not, try MME and Direct Sound and pay attention to the high frequencies. Use the one with the largest measured bandwidth if there is any difference.

We recommend that all users install the new version and keep the old one just in case.

[12 oct 2007]

Audiolense 1.1

Note: Old measurements will not load.

Major improvements in the measurement module: The bandwidth of the measurement has been improved. Even the shortest measurement duration now produces full 20Hz – 20kHz measurement with 48 kHz sampling.

96 kHz and floating point measurement is now working. Enabled user to choose to record from left, right or from a mono mic input. This will prevent noise from open inputs to creep into the measurement.

Connection is OK raised an exception if test signal hadn’t been started. Fixed. Fixed the channel ID routine, implemented square wawes for channel id, and a tighter test regime.

Set default sweepstop on subs to 200 Hz.

Revised the directory structure. User can choose default directory, and each Audiolense revision x.x will be installed side by side with old revisions.

Minor improvements in the filter correction procedures: Changed the “longer” correction procedure in 2.0 and Surround version to account for a longer time window of the measurement. Improved frequency smoothing function. Implemented polarity check in the measurement procedure. Low passed drivers will be inverted when required by the XO.

Various visual improvements and visual bug fixes: Added manual y axis control in several charts. Moved the “Filter measurement” button one step up the ladder.

Improvements in the target designer: Target location can now be adjusted in height (but it will not affect the correction filter). Fixed target designer bug that caused troubles when Audiolense wa set to 96 kHz sampling. Improved the targets’ stopband performance.

A string of not reported bugs has been identified and fixed.

[26 August 2007]

[15 June 2007]

[June 07. 2007]

Audiolense 0.9 (beta)

Known issues:

On Windows Vista beta there has been problems with playback of measurement signals with some sound cards. The problems are depending on the choosen sampling frequency in Audiolense and the audio setup in Vista. Sofar we have always had sucessful measurements when Vista is set to 44.1kHz default and 44.1kHz is used for measurement in audiolense.

There are minor discrepancies between some of the helpfile illustrations and the applications.

Unusual command sequences have been known to cause program errors.  to cause program errors.
