The green areas in the graphic shown above are Audience Areas. Audience Areas are imaginary planes used by EASE and EASE JR to map the electro-acoustic performance of the room and its loudspeaker system. They are typically placed 3.94 feet above the floor or at approximately the same height as the ears of a seated audience.

The red symbols are Listener Seats. They represent specific locations within the room used in detailed EASE investigations and in the EARS and EARS RT auralization programs.

Both are easy to add to the room model. Audience Areas are usually placed individually with 3 Mouse clicks, one to select a floor area, another to access a pop up menu and the third to add the Audience Area above the selected floor area.

Listener Seats are usually put in visually with only two Mouse clicks, one to select an Insert Listener Seat tool and the second to place the Listener Seat..
