Improved Reflectogram and 3D reflection-paths / Active-sources display (A)(C)
The Reflectogram in the Single Point Response display has been greatly improved. It is possible to have the selected reflection or all the zoomed reflections displayed in 3D next to the Reflectogram, the 3D display is automatically updated when zooming or scrolling the Reflectogram graph to reflect the reflection currently visible. The reflection(s) can be coloured according to time of arrival or to reflection order. The colour scale can be selected by the user to be Auto, Music, Speech or Studio.

Improved Decay Curve – intensity hedgehogs (A)(C)
The Decay curve tabsheet of the Single Point Response has been enhanced to display direction of arrival of intensity components, 3D hedgehog graphs, and allow tracing intensity components in the 3D View. The Decay curve for the selected band in the Single Point Response can be displayed next to the 3D View. This allows watching the direction of intensity peaks/slices inside the room model. It is possible to scroll through the peaks/slices in the intensity curve and see where each individual peak/slice comes from or to show a complete hedgehog for the intensity curve. When the curve is zoomed, the 3D display shows the corresponding part of the hedgehog. This is an invaluable tool for tracking down e.g. late echoes which cannot be identified in the Reflectogram.

Improved sweep-measurement tool
The Measure Impulse Response tool has been greatly enhanced. A sweep spectrum correction can be applied in order to obtain similar decay ranges in all active octave bands. If a measurement has obtained poor decay range in some octaves, then ODEON can calculate corrections to the sweep based on that measurement. The result is a sweep where less measurement time is spent on the octaves with high decay range and more time is spent on the octaves where poor decay range was obtained.

The improved tool also allows up to 1st order ambisonic measurements (4-channels), which is fully compatible with the improved load impulse response tool (described below).

3D Matrix (I)(C)
The 3D Matrix tool calculates and displays room acoustics parameters of all point sources on the positions of all the other point source positions. The tool makes it easy to see the effect of a given point source on all other point source positions and can be an efficient tool for investigations of an open plan office or in an orchestra. The 3D Diagonal displays the parameters calculated at the positions of the sources them self (excluding the direct sound which obviously can’t be calculated at a distance of 0 meters). This can be useful for evaluation of e.g. how loud or intelligible one’s own voice sounds at a given position in the room.

Support of ambisonic measurements (A)(C)
The Measured Impulse Response tool can now recognize the 4 channels measured with an ambisonic microphone and visualize the intensity components of an impulse response. The four channels appear as W (omni) and X, Y, Z.
