ODEON is a software for room acoustics, which can be used for simulating and measuring the interior acoustics of rooms, such as concert halls , restaurants, railway stations , meeting rooms, worship spaces, open-plan offices and multipurpose halls. With the appropriate treatment, outdoor situations can be studied as well. Given a 3D-model and materials (surface properties), the acoustics can be predicted, illustrated and listened to. Sound reinforcement can be integrated into the acoustic predictions.

ODEON combines different simulation methods: the Image-Source Method (ISM), Early-Scattering Method (ESM), Ray-Tracing (RT) and Ray-Radiosity Method (RRM). The first three methods collaborate in the early-reflections part, while the last one is essentially the late-reflections part.
