Audio Ease is a group of music- and audio software developers based in Utrecht the Netherlands. http://www.audioease.com

We are best known for Altiverb, the first and highest regarded convolution reverb. Convolution reverb creates reverb based on samples of the real world: Sydney Opera House, the Gol Gumbaz of India, or our company bathroom. Speakerphone is a much younger product seeking to be th

e definitive speaker simulator. Speakerphone not only holds samples of virtually every speaker imaginable, but also combines this with environmental sounds, static noise, sirens etc. Basically: sound files in the Mac Finder are never again closed. Just watch. When Audio Ease is not tweaking a filter or fixing their backup server, they are likely out there sampling a bus station or an antique telephone.

Imprison your music with the new Dome prison IR set in Altiverb 8.

With this former prison dome you can add many distinct echoes to your music / sound using Altiverb 8. This impulse responses (IR) set is now available in Altiverb 8.

The Dome Prison in Haarlem,
The Netherlands

The Dome Prison was built in 1901
and was in use until 2016.

It contains four stacked cell rings
with a total of 400 cells.

Engineer Fokke van Saane captured
several spots in the central area,

successfully capturing the echoes
of the circular structure,

using Sonodore omnidirectional
microphones and a Genelec s30 speaker.

Stadium reverb in Altiverb:
These first two stadiums are included in the Altiverb collection for a long time now. Both provide a huge reverb.
However we kept recording in stadiums to add more of these long reverbs to Altiverb over the years.
Each stadium has it's own character as you can hear on this guitar track.
In some stadiums we captured the sound using our trusted studio monitor speaker and also the stadium PA system.
Both PA and Genelec are available as option then

New IRs are added regularly to Altiverb.
Two new stadiums are available now:
The Nissan Stadium from Nashville TN, USA
and the SoFi stadium from Inglewood CA, USA
both these IRs were captured nu Tanner Kinney and are available right now in Altiverb 8.

We ventured out to record a concrete tank in a water tower to capture the acoustics and add this as IR set to the collection for Altiverb 8. The result is what you hear on the guitar track in this video.

This is the first concrete cylindrical tank we have in our collection. Measuring 10m diameter and 9 meters high, we had to buy special carrying rigs to get up the top of the tower and descent into this cistern one with our Genelec 1032 monitor speakers and our custom built vis-spin microphone stand. This water storage tank did not dissapoint us. Listening back to it this place has every bit of weirdness you would expect from a 7.0.4 atmos 600 cubic meter concrete cylindrical water reservoir. In 2026, at 99 years of age, the tank will be destroyed as the building will turn into a hotel.

During one of our trips to Scotland to capture acoustics we got side tracked and Arjen played a tin whistle. The Hamilton Mausoleum, only 18 meters across, is one of those truly marvellous places in that exceptional category where you are immediately inspired to sing with yourself. It shares that invitation with only very few spaces we have visited, like Vigeland’s Mausoleum in Oslo, or Gol Gumbaz in Bijapur India. If, as a music or sound person, you are left alone in this space, you are guaranteed to have a great time, for quite some time.

On a 220 Hz note ( ‘Jude’ from Hey Jude) it has a reverberation time three times the length of Kings College Chapel in Cambridge (known from the BBC broadcast on Christmas Eve) and twice the length of Rouen cathedral, the tallest cathedral in France.

The acoustics of the Hamilton Mausoleum are carefully captured by Audio Ease and are now available for you to use in Altiverb 8.

Ronda, club (Utrecht, NL) now available in Altiverb 8!

The acoustics of the Millerntor Stadium St. Pauli Hamburg, Germany are now available in Altiverb 8.

Three constellations were sampled. Two of them on the field using triple QSC KW153 speakers combined into a surround speaker, and one using the installed public address system. Recorded using 6 DPA 4006, an AMBEO, and two DPA 4090 microphones, in a baffled wind protected rig.
The recordings were accomplished thanks to the tireless efforts of Philipp Feit, Chief Creative Officer at Audio-Agentur 'German Wahnsin', who after a year of trying secured a timeslot with relatve silence.
It is the home stadium of Sankt Pauli FC, the legendary anti-Fascist left wing professional soccer team.

New in Altiverb 8: De Vereeniging

What looks like a wooden church is actually a Masonic lodge. The building combines Jugendstil (Art-Nouveau) elements and Chalet style.
The building was originally designed to also host small stage or musical performances. The height of the main hall is 11 meters and it has a balcony. The sound is so universably useful that it was in our top 5 when we chose a new default IR for Altiverb 8

New in Altiverb 8: Radio Kootwijk

This is a radio transmitter station built in 1919 to maintain connections between The Netherlands and Indonesia. All (forest) growth in over a thousand acres around it was cut to achieve a clear transmission. There was no road to it. Building-A is the large space where the transmitter was.
