Spain - Linea Research has launched its new, intuitive control software, System Engineer 8.
System Engineer delivers easy-to-use DSP and power management with a workflow-based design to get audio systems up and running in minutes. The new software – which is free to download from the Linea Research website: www.linea-research.com – enhances the powerful audio capabilities of Linea Research products, communicating all the system information necessary to keep your audio network operational, on one easy-to-read screen and in a simple graphical format.
Fast auto-synchronisation to devices is a driving principle of the software’s design. Se8 quickly identifies, connects and syncs to Linea Research products on the network, so that audio systems are ready for the engineer to start the set up – either in a touring environment or for installation.
The efficiency of the graphical workflow-based design is the next highlight. Users can easily arrange device modules (an input and any number of outputs) in any desired arrangement. The amplifier modules can be named for easy identification, and all of the amplifier parameters can be affected with a few clicks, either independently or simultaneously.
The intuitive, three-step workflow starts in Set Up view for the fundamental amplifier configuration. In this view, users choose primary and secondary input sources, establish input and output routing, as well as network and power options.
The next step takes the user to Preset View. The loudspeaker preset libraries are stored here and can be loaded on to one or more devices. The user can also create loudspeaker presets from scratch. The ability to export and share presets between users is a powerful tool for audio system pre-configuration and manufacturer-approved presets are available from the Linea Research website. The last step routes the user into Tune View where audio is shaped and contoured.
