ODEON

Since 2000, Brüel & Kjær has been the worldwide sole distributor of ODEON, a reliable yet easy-to-use prediction software tool for indoor acoustics developed at DTU, the Technical University of Denmark.

What is ODEON?

ODEON software simulates the acoustics of buildings. From the geometry and properties of surfaces, the acoustics can be calculated, illustrated and heard.

ODEON's prediction algorithms (image source method and ray tracing) allow reliable predictions at modest calculation times. ODEON is ideal for prediction of acoustics in large rooms such as concert halls, opera halls, auditoria, foyers, underground stations, airport terminals and industrial workrooms. For prediction of noise from large machinery in industrial environments, a special ray-tracing algorithm has been developed allowing modelling of surface and line sources.

ODEON can be used to predict the acoustics of new buildings, as well as to evaluate and recommend improvements in existing buildings. It is straightforward to use and takes care of the bookkeeping involved in stepwise improvement of models.

ODEON is available in three editions:

7836 Auditorium Edition — for calculation of a large set of room acoustical parameters. A number of graphical tools are built-in including a reflectogram, a 3D reflection path display and reverberation curve displays. This edition also provides built-in auralisation features.

7835 Industrial Edition — for environmental acoustics where SPL, SPL(A), T30 and STI are the important results. With this edition you can model point sources, line sources and surface sources, making it possible to model large and complex sound sources.

7837 Combined Edition — includes all the features found in the Industrial and Auditorium editions.

Upgrades and support agreements are available as a supplement to the above products:

• MS1: Support and Upgrade Agreement
  
• Upgrade from ODEON Version 4.0 and Later
  
• Upgrade from ODEON Versions 3x and Earlier
  

Extra Licences — Extra licenses can be added at a unit cost of only one third of the full price.
