Introduction to the Engineering
Tools
The Engineering Tools are a suite of Lake Technology software
tools which enable the measurement, manipulation and realtime
implementation of acoustic models by using the impulse
responses of real or simulated systems.
The Engineering Tools are comprised of two core applications:
• The Convolver Tool, which utilises Lake Technology’s
proprietary, low-latency convolution algorithms to enable
the convolution of signals and impulse responses in realtime,
using filters of up to 278,244 taps.
— and —
• The Measurement Tool, which is a general purpose
impulse response measurement tool. This tool provides the
means for, capturing and creating impulse responses from
real acoustic spaces. The Measurement tool may also be
used for characterising the response of audio components
such as speakers or microphones.
In addition to these core tools, Lake Technology provides a set
of utilities called the SIM Tools which allow the manipulation
of impulse responses in the *.SIM file format.
