• Name – Name of the location.

• Type – Location type i.e. Concert Hall, Theatre, Opera House, etc.

• Date – Date the location was measured.

• SR – Sample rate of the IR and the sample rate of session you are working in.

• Country – Country of the sampled location.

• City – City of the sampled location.

• Emitter type – Playback loudspeaker used in the measurement of the location.

• Receiver Type – Microphone used in the measurement of the location.

• Source Location – Where the emitter was placed in the location (i.e. Stage.)

• Mic Location – Where the microphone was recording i.e. 5

th

row, seat 24.

• Dimensions – The dimensions of the location in meters.

• Full Path – Shows the full path to the loaded IR file of the current setup.



The IR properties pane shows Original and Current (manipulated) values for:

• Convolution – length of the convolution filter for the current IR. The output length

may differ from the input length due to one of the following reasons:

1. Convolution user control gating (i.e. lowering the Convolution control

shortens the length of the IR, thus “gating” it and saving CPU resources)

2. Sample rate conversion upon import
3. The imported IR is longer than 6 seconds
4. IR manipulations (reverb-time, resonances, size, etc.).

• RT60 – the decay time value in seconds according to the RT60 standard

• Channels – the number of convolution used vs. the number channels of

convolution provided in the IR file

• Size – the size of the location in cubic meters

• Distance – the distance of the source from the receiver in meters




For imported IRs, the IR properties (Distance, Size, and RT60) will remain blank if the
information is not available, and will display "NA" when the value is not applicable.
