Yamaha Announces ProVisionaire Plan Audio System Planning Software
Hamamatsu, Japan, January 29, 2025 — Yamaha has announced ProVisionaire Plan, a new, easy-to-use audio system planning tool which extends Yamaha’s ProVisionaire suite of software applications for the design, operation and management of audio systems built around Yamaha professional audio products.
Remote conferencing has become a standard part of business practice and the need for it will continue to increase. To satisfy demand, IT system designers and other tech businesses are now providing customers with one-stop solutions, including audio products. The number of cases proposed by audio systems integrators is also increasing, with a growing need to design full-scale systems more easily and in a shorter time.
ProVisionaire Plan is a web browser-based tool, which automatically selects and arranges equipment with simple, intuitive actions, even for users with no knowledge of acoustics. By suggesting optimum products and reducing the time needed to plan audio solutions, it transforms the planning workflow and improves proposal capabilities.
The initial version of ProVisionaire Plan addresses Yamaha’s ADECIA remote conferencing solution. Users can automatically select and arrange ADECIA components - such as RM series microphones, VXC Power over Ethernet (PoE) series ceiling speakers and VXL PoE slim line array series speakers - to create a system, simply by entering information such as the dimensions of the room. This helps to reduce design time, while delivering optimal results.
The results are presented visually, with the coverage area of the automatically-placed microphones and speakers illustrated to justify the proposal. In addition, a 3D view allows investors to clearly imagine the system they are investing in.
Yamaha has a dedicated team in Japan, which has designed the acoustics of over 300 halls and theatres in a range of countries. Their expertise in spatial acoustics and Yamaha’s unparalleled knowledge of audio equipment are incorporated into ProVisionaire Plan, ensuring it delivers extremely reliable results.
Additional products will be added to ProVisionaire Plan in due course, expanding the number and range of systems it can be used to design.
“With ProVisionaire Plan, Yamaha has assembled a suite of powerful yet highly intuitive tools for audio system planning, design, management, and operation. It breaks down barriers for non-audio experts, making the proposal of remote communication systems faster, simpler, and more effective," says Thomas Hemery, Senior General Manager at Yamaha Professional Solutions.
“With the release of ProVisionaire Plan, both the step-by-step design and on-site acoustic tuning phases of any ADECIA project are now automated—from system configuration to calibration—significantly easing the proposer’s workload. Regular updates will further expand product compatibility and design versatility.”
