I completely agree with this article—EASE is such a game-changer for anyone working in AV design. It’s surprising to hear that some electrical engineers in the field aren’t familiar with it, considering how essential it is for getting audio systems right. The ability to simulate sound in 3D and tackle issues like SPL distribution, STI, and material absorption before anything is installed is such a time-saver and ensures the design actually works in the real world.

I also love how EASE makes collaboration so much easier. Being able to show architects, clients, and other stakeholders exactly how the sound will behave helps get everyone on the same page. Plus, with the integration of AI and VR, it’s only going to get better—making acoustic design more efficient and accurate than ever.

If you’re in AV design and not using EASE, you’re definitely missing out. It’s one of those tools that’s absolutely worth learning.
