Smaart is the most straightforward and widely used software
for real-time sound system measurement, optimization and control,
and now, it.s also backed by the full weight of EAW.s renowned
development and support services. Smaart v.6 performs dual-channel,
FFT-based audio measurement in an intuitive, accessible interface
that seamlessly integrates measurement, analysis, and data logging.
It can also remotely control an extensive, constantly expanding
list of professional equalizers and DSP processors. Rebuilt from
the ground up, Smaart v.6 features significantly modernized
architecture to unleash the potential of the latest microprocessors
and multitasking operating systems. Further, Smaart v.6 now runs
native under both Mac OS X and Windows from the same unified source
code. While the Windows platform has been the dominant platform for
pro audio system engineering for the past decade, the OS X platform
has always retained significant penetration and is rapidly becoming
the preferred platform throughout the professional audio market.
Smaart v.6 also features a new, streamlined interface that enables
users to tap the power of the new software architecture while
preserving the renowned usability of previous Smaart versions .
developed from over decade of input from the largest (and still
rapidly growing!) user base in the industry.
Support for ASIO Multi-Channel Input Devices
Smaart v.6 can receive multi-channel inputs via ASIO under Windows
or Core Audio on Mac OS X, enabling selection of measurement signals
from a multi-channel device within Smaart. This new data acquisition
module opens up a vast array of multi-channel audio devices now
available on the market, such as the Mackie Onyx 800F FireWire preamp.
It also greatly simplifies the hardware setup requirements for
operating a multi-microphone Smaart measurement rig.
New Real-Time Measurement Mode
All Smaart real-time measurements (RTA, Spectrograph, Transfer
Function (magnitude and phase), and Impulse Response now run
concurrently, and any two measurements can be viewed simultaneously.
The result is the ability to run hybrid measurement modes that display
real-time Spectrum and Frequency Response data at the same time.
This platform allows operators to significantly expand the way they
measure and address their sound systems.
* Two-Channel RTA: Selectable linear or fractional octave banding
(down to 1/24th octave resolution), peak-hold, THD calculation, user-
defined timed averaging, and standard Noise Criterion curves (when
calibrated for SPL measurement).
* Single-Channel Spectrograph: 3-D display of a signal.s spectral
content over time helps identify feedback frequencies, system
resonances, and mechanical noise.
* Frequency Response Magnitude & Coherence: Measurements down to
1/24th octave resolution of system magnitude response with comprehensive
rms and vector averaging functionality and a corresponding Coherence
measurement indicating data quality/stability.
* Phase Response: Measurements down to 1/24th octave resolution of
system phase response.
Enhanced Impulse Response Mode
Impulse Response Mode now operates in its own window that runs
independently of real-time Spectrum and Transfer Function measurements.
The Impulse Response Mode has also been expanded to include intuitive
tools for analyzing and dissecting IR measurements on the fly, such as
a user-specified time window function for retrieving frequency domain
data from specific portions of an impulse response.
Expanded Signal Generator Functionality
Smaart v.6 adds triggered swept sine waves for impulse response
measurements to its standard list of generator signals and functions.
The triggered swept sine functionality operates with the FFT length-
specific, synchronized measurement sources, and enables the user to
do traditional laboratory and QC measurements.
Increased Data Storage and Display Capacity
Smaart v.6 has dramatically increased capability for storing, recalling,
and displaying a virtually unlimited number of reference data traces
such as Frequency Response and RTA. Moreover, all captured measurements
are now stored directly to the hard drive to prevent accidental loss
due to power failures or other interruptions. Advanced trace averaging
capabilities have also been added.
Object-Oriented, Multi-Threaded Program Architecture
Multiple sessions of Smaart can now run simultaneously, allowing for
the integration of multiple simultaneous system measurements in later
releases. A new API (Application Programming Interface) allows other
software programs . even third party programs such as Dolby Lake - to
import Smaart data and control the Smaart measurement engines remotely.
And, with code base portability, Smaart.s measurement engines are now
separate code .objects. that can be integrated into other EAW/LOUD
Technologies products such as the SPL meter on the new EAW UMX.96 digital
mixing console.
