AUX Import: Experts in Active Acoustics and Exclusive UK Distributor for Fulcrum Acoustic
Modern venues demand audio systems that do more than simply amplify sound. They require intelligent, adaptive solutions that optimise acoustic performance, improve clarity, and deliver a consistent listening experience across every seat. AUX Import are experts in active acoustics and are proud to be the exclusive UK distributor for Fulcrum Acoustic.
Through advanced technologies embedded in the VenueFlex and VenueFlex Pro products, AUX Import provide UK venues with state-of-the-art active acoustics solutions that transform audio performance and audience experience.
What Is Active Acoustics?
Active acoustics refers to the use of real-time signal processing, loudspeaker arrays, and spatial audio techniques to shape and optimise the acoustic environment of a venue. Unlike passive acoustic treatments, which rely on physical modifications to walls, ceilings and surfaces, active acoustics uses technology to dynamically manage sound.
Key benefits of active acoustics include:
Improved speech intelligibility
Enhanced musical clarity
Consistent sound coverage throughout the space
Reduction of unwanted reflections and standing waves
Flexible adaptation to different room layouts or events
By controlling both the tonal balance and spatial distribution of sound, active acoustics ensures that every listener enjoys the best possible experience, regardless of their location.
Fulcrum Acoustic’s VenueFlex and VenueFlex Pro
As the exclusive UK distributor for Fulcrum Acoustic, AUX Import provide direct access to industry-leading active acoustics technologies.
VenueFlex
VenueFlex is a sophisticated processor that delivers precise control over sound spatialisation and room acoustics. It allows venues to optimise coverage, tailor frequency response and maintain intelligibility for both speech and music.
Key features of VenueFlex include:
Real-time active acoustic control
Object-based audio processing
Seamless integration with distributed loudspeaker systems
Flexible configuration for different room layouts
VenueFlex enables venues to provide immersive and controlled audio experiences without requiring extensive architectural changes.
VenueFlex Pro
VenueFlex Pro builds upon the capabilities of VenueFlex, offering increased processing power and advanced control options. Designed for larger or more acoustically complex spaces, VenueFlex Pro allows for a higher object count, improved spatial resolution, and greater adaptability to evolving venue requirements.
VenueFlex Pro benefits include:
Advanced active acoustics processing
Scalability for multi-zone or multi-level venues
Detailed spatial audio rendering
Enhanced system flexibility and future-proofing
Both technologies combine active acoustics with intelligent loudspeaker management to deliver consistent, high-quality sound in challenging environments.
Benefits of Active Acoustics
Optimised Sound Coverage
Active acoustics ensures uniform sound distribution across the entire audience area. Listeners receive clear, intelligible audio whether seated near the front, at the sides, or at the back of the venue.
Enhanced Clarity and Intelligibility
By dynamically controlling reflections and room modes, active acoustics improves the intelligibility of speech and the clarity of music, creating a more engaging and natural listening experience.
Flexible Venue Use
With VenueFlex and VenueFlex Pro, venues can adapt acoustics in real time for different events — from spoken word presentations to live music performances — without physical modifications.
Reduced Acoustic Issues
Active acoustics helps mitigate common challenges such as standing waves, echo, and uneven frequency response, resulting in a more consistent and high-quality sound environment.
