March, 5, 2024; Important notice:
The lifetime of ARTA development has come to an end.
After more than twenty years of ARTA software development I decided to stop
development and take care of myself.
I have fullfilled my promise that ARTA users will get all versions 1.x.x.
freely.
Note:
1) ARTA selling will be stopped on March, 30, 2024.
2) The firm ARTALABS be closed in April or May 2024.
3) The ARTALABS web site will be active until February, 2025. The last version
and support files will be available for download.
4) I hope that you will be able to use ARTA software on Windows for many years
(while Windows support 32-bit programs).
Best regards,
Ivo Mateljan
December, 5, 2023, ARTA software version 1.9.7 is published. (see download section).
Changes from previous version are:
- In ARTA all signals buffers for measurement of impulse response are enlarged to 512 MB.
This enables measurement of reverberation times larger than 12 seconds. Using larger buffers does not always gives better
results. As a rule of thumb it is recomended to use the sequence duration that is just
equal or larger than reverberation time.
- In ARTA, user now can delay signal capture, which is important when sampling rate changes.
This delay time we call transit time for sampling rate change. It could be rather
large for low cost USB interfaces. It can be adjusted in Audio Device setup dialog from 0 to 2500 ms.
High quality sound cards (like RME) do not need transit time adjustment.
- PIR files that were recorded for simultaneous measurement of impulse
response and distortion with ARTA version 1.9.5 (or erlier) were not compatible with version 1.9.6.
In this version we allow user to designate older version (that used swept sine excitation from 10Hz)
or newer version (that uses swept sine excitation from 5Hz).
- The maximum level of sine burst signal is set to -1dBFS.
- New menu items are defined for import and export of impule responses and signal
time records.
- In LIMP the measurement of R, L and C elements is enhanced by adding report for dissipation and quality
factors.
- Some CSV export functions are improved.
- In ARTA a new Spectrum overlay menu item enables saving of multitone and distortion levels in separate textual files.
- This version does not works in Windows XP
February, 2, 2023; ARTA software version 1.9.6 is
published. . (see download section).
- Measurement with swept-sine signal in dual channel mode is improved by
better control of subaudio noise. - Several small bugs are corrected -
This version no longer works in Windows XP
September, 20, 2022;
ARTA software version 1.9.5 is published. (see download section).
- Multitone generation algorithm improved.
- THD+N frequency weighting switch updated.
- Improved estimation of Directivity Index. Now user
chooses the type of spatial directivity pattern used for DI estimation:
cylindrical or axe-symetric spherical.
- Spherical pattern is used as defined in standard IEC 60268-21
- Directivity index can be estimated for free full space and half-space radiation.
Enjoy with Arta software!

May, 28, 2014.
ARTA service release version 1.8.2 is published (see download section).
The version 1.8.1 was developed with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.
Before that ARTA was developed using Visual Studio 2008. In
Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Microsoft has put some restriction on OS
usage, and compiler was set up for new generation of procesors. That
resulted with ARTA program working correctly only on Windows from
version Windows XP service pack 3. Also, there was problem with work
on old processors like AMD Athlons and with some file operations. This
version has solved that bugs.
There are also some small
improvements:
In ARTA - measurement of SPL, Leq can be extended
to more than one day. In STEPS - measurement of loudspeaker maximum
SPL is improved and user can choose extended dynamic range (30-40 dB).
In LIMP - target import from *.ZMA files now accepts magnitude and
