art::ap
Advanced Performance. The higher-tier acoustic module for venues where the room has to do more than one thing convincingly.
what it does
Art::ap
The Room
Acoustic Performance, Not Acoustic Approximation
Every room has a character — a reverb, a density, a way it holds a sound after the source has stopped playing. ART::AP doesn't fight that character, it reshapes it: giving a venue exactly the acoustic it needs for the piece being performed, then handing it back the moment the show is over.
Why we call it ART::AP
True to the Room — 3D acoustic modeling and advanced reverb enhancement give precise control over room and density shaping, so the enhancement feels like the building, not a speaker.
Built for the Performer — powerful microphone input processing (equalizers, dynamics, feedback suppression) ensures every voice and instrument on stage is captured cleanly before it's ever enhanced.
Tuned, Not Guessed — a built-in speaker test engine with internal oscillator, plus advanced UDP metering, EQs, and level adjustments, means every room is calibrated on real measurement, not by ear alone.
One room, every acoustic. ART::AP turns a fixed architectural space into a flexible instrument — a concert hall on Friday, a lecture theatre on Monday, without moving a wall.
System Integration
Runs on the ART::DSP engine, controlled through ART::Director
Geometric Vector Engine
Patent-pending geometric vector engine — our proprietary algorithm for active acoustics enhancement
Room-Specific Acoustic Modeling — creates a unique 3D acoustic signature based on the room's passive properties, such as dimensions and materials
Hybrid Regenerative System — seamlessly optimizes natural reverberation to match the requirements of the event genre being staged
Spatial Shaping
Energy Distribution Control — independently steers sound energy projection from different source positions, whether from the stage or elsewhere, shaping the room's response differently across different zones of the same venue
Spectral Shaping
Customizable Spectral Balance — individually adjusts the tonal characteristics of the vector matrix and late-reverb layers
Performance Engine
Unlimited Acoustics Presets — configure and save presets for different source positions, content, and artistic preferences
Seamless Show Integration — synchronize with show-control systems via OSC
Smooth Preset Interpolation — seamless and immediate transitions between presets during live performances
Detailed Acoustic Control — adjust all acoustic parameters in real time via OSC, for unmatched flexibility
Input Processing & Calibration
Microphone input processing — equalizers, dynamics, and feedback suppression
Speaker test engine with internal oscillator for calibration
Advanced UDP metering with precision control, 8-band EQs, level adjustments, and vector sizing
Geometric Multi-Channel Reverb Engine
Controls reverberation time and further ISO 3382 room acoustic parameters
High-Resolution Reverb — neutral Feedback Delay Networks (FDN) generate up to 128 channels of high-resolution, decorrelated algorithmic reverb
Passive Room Integration — merges the room's existing natural reverb with the generated reverb into one unified, naturally perceived room sound
Advanced Parameter Control — adjusts time structure, density, envelopment, shape, and spectral parameters for precise acoustic tuning
Temporal Shaping
Targeted Reflections — enhances volume and reflections exactly where needed
Adjustable Room Dimensions — geometrically scales room size, wall, and ceiling arrangement, with tailored adaptations for ADA (Acoustically Different Area) zones such as under balconies or boxes
Voice Lift
Optimized Voice Distribution — advanced algorithms guarantee clear, even voice projection; this is the module ART::VoiceLift is built on
Effect Presets
Dynamic Acoustic Effects — pre-configured presets for specific scenes: cave-like echoes, outdoor-style acoustics, or dramaturgical effects
Brand agnostic and built to fit an existing rack. See the full list on the Integrations page →
