Rational Acoustics Smaart V7.2.1.1 17 -

A typical workflow for a system engineer using Smaart v7.2.1.1 build 17 in 2014 looked like this:

A typical workflow: Insert Smaart v7.2.1.1 Build 17 into the PA's processor loop via an audio interface with at least 2 inputs and 2 outputs. Send pink noise through the left main hang, place a measurement mic at FOH, measure transfer function. Use the delay finder to time-align subs to mains. Flip to the RTA to check overall spectral balance. All of this could be done in under 5 minutes on a laptop that cost $400 in 2012. rational acoustics smaart v7.2.1.1 17

At its heart, Smaart is a dual-channel, FFT-based audio measurement platform. Unlike basic RTA (Real-Time Analyzers) that only show you energy per frequency, Smaart’s Transfer Function capability allows you to compare the input signal (Reference) to the output signal (Measurement).
