SubZone vs Le Pole Trail

“Within 30 seconds this thing helped me make a decision that I’ve been vacillating about for six months now.” Audio Unleashed podcast “This has to be the biggest no-brainer we’ve ever come across.” LB Tech Reviews When sound waves reflect off the walls, ceiling, and floor of your room, they create “room modes” that change the sound by boosting some frequencies and canceling others. The result is bass that is boomy in one spot and thin in another. The right placement minimizes these effects, and the wrong placement can compromise the sound of even the best subwoofers. The traditional solution is the “subwoofer crawl”, where you move your sub to your listening position, then crawl around the room on your hands and knees listening for the best spot. SubZone replaces that with a scientific calculation you can run from the comfort of your seat. How it works: 1. Measure your room by scanning it with your iPhone*, or by simply entering its dimensions. 2. Choose your room’s construction materials and mark your listening position. 3. SubZone generates a heatmap showing the best places for your subwoofer, with the top zones marked with a star. Adding a second or third subwoofer can sometimes help to smooth out bass response, but it is an expensive experiment. With SubZone you can add as many subwoofers as you like and see exactly what effect they have, and how they interact. Use the optimize feature to automatically search for the ideal combination of positions, then see whether the improvement justifies the purchase. Features: • Full acoustic simulation of every possible subwoofer position, based on your room’s dimensions, construction, and listening positions • Frequency response plot for each zone, showing which frequencies are boosted or cut, and by how much • Add multiple listening positions, so that the whole seating area sounds good • Simulate multiple subwoofers to see how they interact, or search for their ideal positions automatically • Step-by-step tutorial to get you started, plus full detailed documentation • Expert support on hand for any questions or issues • All data is stored and processed on your device, and no account or sign-in is required • Everything included, with no artificial limits on rooms, simulations, listening positions, or subwoofers • Dark and light color schemes Please note: SubZone runs a full acoustic simulation rather than estimating individual room modes, which is what keeps its results accurate. As a result, it currently supports only rectangular “shoebox” rooms. * Room scanning requires an iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro model, but room dimensions can be entered manually on all devices.

The Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Dublin is located within an area rich in history and archaeological discoveries. Le Pole Trail brings you on a journey through the history of Dublin, from its beginnings as a Viking settlement to when this quarter of the city teemed with tenement life in the late nineteenth century. In 1981 Le Pole Square was the site of one of Dublin’s largest archaeological excavations, uncovering a wealth of artefacts that help to paint a picture of the city’s earliest years. Examples of these can be seen inside the hotel today. As part of this experience you will meet a host of colourful characters typical of different periods in Le Pole Square’s history – a brave Viking, a quintessential Dublin policeman, or a homesick Italian mother. Using latest trends in mobile technology this trail lets you recreate what this quarter of Dublin would have looked like at various stages in its history. A combination of AR, 3D simulations and bespoke video, bring the story of Le Pole Square to life. Make more of your visit to the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Dublin, by reliving the history of the city.
