Installation Notes
- Windows’ Smart Screen may block the installation. You can disable the Smart Screen from the Control Panel.
- The User Account Control may block / warn against the installation. Ignore or click “more info” to proceed.
- Windows Defender may prevent write access to designated part of “My Documents”, and perhaps other parts of the hard-drive too. Write access can be restored under settings for threat and virus protection.
- Contact us if you’re in doubt – and we will verify that the install files are still 100% OK.
Known Issues
- According to a couple of users, Audiolense doesn’t run on machines with more than 31 cpu cores. We are working on diagnosing the cause. A workaround is to limit the number of cores used through MSConfig (Win+R | msconfig | Boot | Advanced Options | Number of processors) and set it at a maximum of 31 cores.
- Audiolense 6:18: The chart editor does not scale properly. If you have problems accessing parts of it you can temporary set dpi scaling to 100% in Windows.
If the program doesn’t run normally, you may need one or two of these:
Audiolense 6.17 and earlier: Dotnet framework 4 (or later)
Audiolense 6.18 requires dotnet framework 4.8 (or later)

[21 apr 2021]
- Fixed a bug related to saving RIAA correction on the ALC format. It used to occur when “prompt” was chosen in the correction menu as the RIAA option.
- Made the pre-correction tolerable for higher dB variation as one setup did not get handled as it were supposed to (only applies to individual drivers).
[10 feb 2021]
- A bug that goes back to the launc of Audiolense 6 was recently discover and fixed. Only applies to speakers where crossovers are applied to some, but not all of the drivers.
- Implemented less-close shaving on the left side of the IR in the automatic noise removal. It has shaved too close on a couple of occations recently.
[20 jan 2021]
This release replaces 6.14, which had a bug in the correction files (the config files) and has been taken off the web.
In addition: The zoom function has been malfunctioning with high scale screen settings, which has been fixed here.
[20 jan 2021]
Audiolense 6.14 (64 bit)
Audiolense 6.14 (32 bit)
This release has a large number of changes and improvements in the measurement module with the aim of making it easier to perform measurements when sound card drivers have limitation or off-spec issues.
- Support for shared mode as well as exclusive mode wasapi measurement
- A sound card driver workaround feature that probes for a suiting configuration that is supported by the sound card.
- Changed the behaviour of the “advanced menu”. Now stays open until deliberately closed.
- Improved “measurement supported” verification and notification in the measurement module.
- Various other technical improvements under the surface.
[20 dec 2020]
- Made improvements to the wasapi measurement method
Wasapi gave too few available channels with certain sound cards. A change has been made that will hopefully eliminate this problem.
Wasapi capture does (still) not work on Lynx Hilo, which has been used for testing. Time will show if this is a widespread problem.
In any case, this change will hopefully make it easier for several users to combine usb dac with usb mic during measurement.
[29 nov 2020]
- Fixed initialisation errors in “check speaker connection”
- Fixed bug “default measurement settings”
- Fixed a malfunction in bass boost limiter

- The new speaker driver alignment came with a bug on TTD per driver…
[25 jan 2020]
Audiolense 6.2 (64 bit)
Audiolense 6.2 (32 bit)
- More robust & reliable speaker driver alignment. The improvement addresses a very rare but serious issue of misalignment of low frequency drivers. Test with a number of measurements suggests that most users will either get the exact same result or a time domain improvement improvement that is probably too small to be heard.
[12 jan 2020]
- Clock drift correction: The correction if each pulse has been slightly improved. In addition there was a time alignment bug that has been fixed.
- Bass boost limiter was operating on a too high frequency. That has been fixed.

[23 dec 2019]
Audiolense 6.0 (64 bit)
Audiolense 6.0 (32 bit)
The bullet points:
- Most of all, and why this is a new version – Audiolense has been prepared to work in conjunction with the work-in-progress convolver. This will amongst other things support variable length filters (short for tweeter, long for sub woofer), including variable length crossover. A new correction file format for the convolver has also been implemented.
- Wasapi exclusive mode has been implemented. This simplifies non-asio measurements. In principle this should make wasapi as good as asio for measurement.
- User can enforce clock drift correction during measurement.
- The TTD correction have been modified in several places to be more robust and more precise.
- Treble and bass boost limit has been revised in order to be more user friendly.
- Faster filter generation: Multithreading has been implemented for 64 bit version.
- Peak identification which is important to driver & xo alignment have been revised to be more consistent.
- The selective preringing prevention in the time domain correction have been made more robust and hopefully more precise.
- Check speaker connection (measurement) failed under certain conditions. Made a fix to that.
- Implemented a workaround for multi seat correction problem. Cases where the smoothed msm is corrupted. The workaround is to remove and re-enter the measurements to the multi seat pool.
- Some of the less used presets had wrong filter length. This has been fixed.
- Fixed errors related to resampling of measurements.
- The correction generation batch job has been taken out.
[8 dec 2019]
Audiolense 6.0 beta (64 bit)
Audiolense 6.0 beta (32 bit)
A new compilation since the last (64 bit) revision was extremely slow. This one has normal speed.
[28 nov 2019]
New beta revision implementing unicode in the player in an attempt to support languages with complex letters, such as japanese and chinese.
[20 nov 2019]
New beta revision where the check speaker connection has been addressed.
[18 sep 2019]
This is a beta release that involves major changes to the code, and only limited bug testing has been undertaken. The beta is released early due to high demand from users who have experienced measurement problems lately. The combination of usb mic and usb card has created problems frequently. If something else fails, the measurement can always be uploaded in Audiolense 5.5 for further processing.
The release also contains a way to deal with a multiseat correction problem where exceptions deep down made the measurements files unfit for the multiseat pool.
All other users are mostly welcome to test the beta. Some of you may get better sound – and we appreciate any help we can get with identifying new bugs that have emerged.
[20 nov 2018]

[8 dec 2007]
Audiolense 1.2
Now with a complete rework of the measuremodule – including support for Asio, Direct Sound and Windows MME. In addition:
The measurement bandwidth is further improved. Even the shortest measurement at 44,1 kHz will now be ruler flat to over 20 kHz. The measurement procedure is much faster. We have speeded up the generation of measurement files and the impulse response generation. Use Asio if you can. If not, try MME and Direct Sound and pay attention to the high frequencies. Use the one with the largest measured bandwidth if there is any difference.
We recommend that all users install the new version and keep the old one just in case.
[12 oct 2007]
Audiolense 1.1
Note: Old measurements will not load.
Major improvements in the measurement module: The bandwidth of the measurement has been improved. Even the shortest measurement duration now produces full 20Hz – 20kHz measurement with 48 kHz sampling.
96 kHz and floating point measurement is now working. Enabled user to choose to record from left, right or from a mono mic input. This will prevent noise from open inputs to creep into the measurement.
Connection is OK raised an exception if test signal hadn’t been started. Fixed. Fixed the channel ID routine, implemented square wawes for channel id, and a tighter test regime.
Set default sweepstop on subs to 200 Hz.
Revised the directory structure. User can choose default directory, and each Audiolense revision x.x will be installed side by side with old revisions.
Minor improvements in the filter correction procedures: Changed the “longer” correction procedure in 2.0 and Surround version to account for a longer time window of the measurement. Improved frequency smoothing function. Implemented polarity check in the measurement procedure. Low passed drivers will be inverted when required by the XO.
Various visual improvements and visual bug fixes: Added manual y axis control in several charts. Moved the “Filter measurement” button one step up the ladder.
Improvements in the target designer: Target location can now be adjusted in height (but it will not affect the correction filter). Fixed target designer bug that caused troubles when Audiolense wa set to 96 kHz sampling. Improved the targets’ stopband performance.
A string of not reported bugs has been identified and fixed.

Known issues:
On Windows Vista beta there has been problems with playback of measurement signals with some sound cards. The problems are depending on the choosen sampling frequency in Audiolense and the audio setup in Vista. Sofar we have always had sucessful measurements when Vista is set to 44.1kHz default and 44.1kHz is used for measurement in audiolense.
There are minor discrepancies between some of the helpfile illustrations and the applications.
Unusual command sequences have been known to cause program errors. to cause program errors.
