What is Smaart Used For?
Sound System Engineers
use Smaart to measure, verify, optimize, and align sound systems to ensure that sound quality is consistent throughout the various indoor and outdoor performance spaces encountered, from bars and clubs to sheds, arenas, and stadiums.
Audio Mix Engineers
use Smaart to directly monitor the frequency and level content of individual channels from a mixing console, or measurement microphones, to identify problem frequencies, overall tonality and trends, SPL, and other useful information and visual feedback.
Audio Systems Integrators
use Smaart to test and verify audio system components before and after installation and ensure that projects meet any applicable specifications or standards prior to project completion.
Houses of Worship
use Smaart to ensure that each service maintains consistent level and frequency content, and that sound levels are safe, especially where multiple engineer operators are responsible for running the sound equipment.
Acoustical Consultants
use Smaart to characterize the acoustical performance of various spaces for speech intelligibility, clarity, and reverberation to help recommend and design custom solutions and then verify that the integrators and contractors responsible for executing those designs have done so to specification.
Live Performance Venue Managers
use Smaart to measure, log, and remotely monitor and report on Sound Pressure Levels to ensure that artists are staying within designated SPL limits.
Sound Rental Companies
use Smaart to test audio systems before or after they are used as well as sending Smaart rigs with their field technicians to make sure that their audio systems are deployed, optimized, and aligned for each use.
Loudspeaker Designers and Manufacturers
use Smaart to create final alignment and voicing decisions before loudspeaker products are sold or used by end users. Keeping a Smaart rig at the end of the production line helps ensure that products are consistent unit-to-unit after production, before they are shipped.
