SIGNALS TOA Revamps Technical Support Audio Design Program TOA Canada Corporation has revamped its Technical Support Audio Design Program. By cre- ating a visually appealing document with credible layout information, TOA clients will better understand how TOA’s speakers will perform in various applications. Taking advantage of the EASE Evac software to assist with the best practice design, the resulting output forms a colourful EASE simulation drawing that illustrates the distribution of direct sound levels as well as speech intelligibility. This process, supported by the TOA team, identifies the audio solutions quickly and clearly.
