Acoustics Engineering (AE) was established in 1987 by four students from the Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands, who had different specialisations but a common interest in sound technique and music. At that time, AE concentrated on consultancy in the area of room acoustics, and started developing software and equipment to increase the efficieny and quality of these activities. This was particularly successful due to the integration of acoustics, software, electronics and mechanics. Ten years later, the focus shifted completely to the development of acoustics software and equipment. One of the partners is also active at the Acoustics Laboratory of the Technical University of Eindhoven.

Through cooperation with AE, Brüel & Kjær has taken over the worldwide exclusive distribution of the DIRAC room acoustics software. This supplements the Building and Room Acoustic portfolio currently offered by Brüel & Kjær .

Part of the Brüel & Kjær Prediction Partnership

To face the increasing demands for noise mapping and calculation of environmental noise levels, Brüel & Kjær has teamed up with DGMR and Stapelfeldt, some of the world's foremost experts in the field of environmental noise prediction software, to form the newly created international Brüel & Kjær Prediction Partnership.

DGMR Raadgevende Ingenieurs BV (Consulting Engineers) give practical advice for questions that arise because of the influence of physical factors on the climates for work and living. The area of work extends to the fields of acoustics, building physics, fire prevention, sustainable building, energy management, facade technology, noise control, environmental physics and vibration technology. In addition to consulting work DGMR also researches in these fields and has a software department carrying out commercial development and sale of software related to the consulting areas. DGMR has branches in Arnhem, The Hague, Drachten and Maastricht.

DGMR have developed Predictor Type 7810

ODEON is a stand-alone program for professional modelling of acoustics in auditoria, concert halls, theatres and other large rooms, as well as prediction of noise in the industrial environment.

ODEON is the name of the company that develops ODEON software that figures among the world's leading tools for room acoustic simulation and auralization.
ODEON is distributed by ODEON A/S and by Brüel & Kjær.

ODEON I/S was founded in 1984 by the Department of Acoustic Technology at the Technical University of Denmark and six Danish consulting companies for the purpose of providing reliable prediction software for room acoustics. In 2001, the company was established as A/S, and is located at the Technical University of Denmark. More than 25 years have been invested in the development of the ODEON programs in order to provide reliable yet easy-to-use room acoustics prediction software. The first versions of the ODEON program were targeted at solving acoustic problems in concert halls. Today's versions allow prediction of auditoria acoustics as well as acoustics in industrial environments. The method developed for auralization has proved to give results very close to reality, even in very complicated acoustic environments.

Since 1998, Ometron and Maul-Theet have worked together to develop the new VPI+ generation of laser scanning vibrometers.

UK-based Ometron, a company with over two decades of experience with laser vibrometers, produced the hardware for the VPI+, while Maul-Theet, a well-reputed German vibration consultant and software developer agreed to make the software.

In June 1999, Brüel & Kjær took over the worldwide exclusive distribution of Ometron's model VH300+ single point Laser Doppler Vibrometer.

Stapelfeldt Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH develops and distributes software applications in building physics and environmental simulation. The company was founded in 1992 as an offspring of the consultant engineering office of Dipl.-Ing. H Stapelfeldt. For more than 25 years Stapelfeldt Ingenieurgesellschaft has been working on subjects focusing on numerical simulation of processes in building physics, such as diffusion, time dependent heat transfer or optimising insulation, as well as dynamics and environmental acoustics.

Lima Type 7812 is a commercial program system, developed by Stapelfeldt Ingenieurgesellschaft and marketed by Brüel & Kjær, that deals with the simulation of environmental noise situations, air pollution and solar shadowing or heat influx. The company is situated in Dortmund, Germany.
