Newly released Nureva® App for iOS features acoustic check tool (patent pending) for optimal placement of HDL pro series systems
Calgary, Alberta --- January 28, 2025 --- Nureva Inc., an innovator in advanced audio conferencing solutions, announces the addition of a powerful acoustic check tool to the newly released iOS version of the Nureva App. Building on the successful launch of the web-based app last summer, the iOS version adds features that help IT managers and integrators quickly determine optimal placement of Nureva HDL310 and HDL410 audio conferencing systems, enhancing audio performance in larger meeting rooms and classrooms. The acoustic check tool, with patent pending, measures background noise and reverberation in a space prior to installation of a Nureva system, providing an overall acoustic score that predicts audio performance in a given location. With an iPhone® device, app users can evaluate acoustic conditions in various positions within the space to identify any challenges. No specialized equipment or expertise is required.
The Nureva App is available for HDL pro series systems at no additional cost. Since the app can be connected to the Nureva HDL310 or HDL410 system over a local area network, an internet connection is not required to use it. Tailored to the needs of IT managers and integrators, the app simplifies and enhances in-room setup and configuration by automating much of the process, significantly reducing installation time while optimizing audio quality. Also, the app supports camera integration for tracking and switching and is complemented by Nureva Console, a cloud-based management platform used for at-scale management of Nureva systems in an organization. Powered by Nureva’s patented Microphone Mist™ technology, these systems provide reliable full-room microphone coverage, enabling natural, distraction-free collaboration.
“The ability to measure room acoustics and predict audio system performance will enormously benefit AV installers, AV integrators and IT managers as they will quickly get important information about acoustic conditions for specific locations in a space,” said Nancy Knowlton, Nureva’s CEO. “The acoustic check tool is just the latest example of our IT-first approach to creating solutions that automate and simplify the task of getting great audio performance in larger spaces.”
Additional feature details
- Background noise measurement: Uses the microphone on an iPhone to measure background noise levels at an installation site to identify potential issues, such as humming or buzzing from an HVAC system or other equipment.
- Reverberation measurement: Uses a simple balloon-pop procedure to evaluate the room’s RT60 (reverberation time) to ensure clear audio for remote listeners.
- Acoustic score: Combines background noise and reverberation data to predict the audio performance of the HDL310 or HDL410 system.
- User-friendly interface: Uses the microphone on an iPhone and provides a simple, easy-to-understand scoring system, guiding app users on optimal device placement.
The acoustic check feature is valuable throughout the room design and installation process. Prior to and during setup, it helps identify acoustic issues early. Post-installation, it assists IT managers in quickly assessing and resolving any remaining audio challenges.
Availability
The iOS version of the Nureva App for iPhone and iPad® devices, which supports the setup and configuration of HDL310 and HDL410 systems, is available now through the App Store at no additional cost. Future updates of the Nureva App will include expanding support to Android™ devices. Currently, the acoustic check feature is offered with the iPhone version of the Nureva App.
