Design Perfect Acoustic Environments with Odeon v19.1

Odeon v19.1 is a premier, hybrid room acoustics simulation software used by acoustical consultants, architects, and audio engineers to predict, analyze, and auralize the sound in any enclosed or semi-enclosed space. Combining the geometric accuracy of ray-tracing with the statistical power of image-source methods, Odeon provides reliable predictions of acoustic parameters and, uniquely, the ability to render immersive, binaural auralizations. This allows stakeholders to not just see data, but to hear how a concert hall, classroom, or open-plan office will sound before it is built, enabling data-driven design decisions for optimal speech intelligibility, musical clarity, and acoustic comfort.

 Core Functional Capabilities of Odeon v19.1

• Hybrid Calculation Engine for Reliable Predictions
  Achieve accurate results across all frequency ranges. The software's hybrid method uses image-source modeling for early reflections and ray-tracing for late reverberation and diffuse reflections, ensuring robust predictions of reverberation time (T30), clarity (C80), speech transmission index (STI), and other ISO 3382 parameters.

• Advanced 3D Auralization & Binaural Rendering
  Experience the design with your own ears. Odeon can generate high-fidelity, binaural audio files that simulate what a listener would hear at any point in the virtual room when a sound source (speaker, instrument) is activated. This is a revolutionary tool for client presentations and subjective evaluation of acoustic design alternatives.

• Detailed 3D Modeling & Material Assignment
  Build a precise acoustic digital twin. Import 3D CAD models or create geometry within Odeon. Assign frequency-dependent absorption and scattering coefficients to surfaces from the extensive built-in material database to model real-world acoustic behavior.

• Comprehensive Result Visualization & Mapping
  Visualize sound as color maps and graphs. Generate 2D and 3D maps of acoustic parameters (e.g., SPL, RT, STI) across the room. Analyze echograms, energy-time curves, and polar plots to diagnose specific acoustic issues like echoes or insufficient early reflections.

 The Odeon Advantage in Architectural Acoustics

While many tools can calculate acoustic metrics, Odeon v19.1 stands apart with its integrated, high-quality auralization capability. This bridges the critical gap between abstract numbers and human perception, making complex acoustic data understandable to everyone involved in a project. Its proven hybrid calculation engine is trusted for the design of world-class performing arts centers, transportation hubs, and workplaces. For acousticians who need to justify design choices and for design teams who want to ensure their spaces will sound as good as they look, Odeon is the definitive simulation and communication tool.
