Comprehensive audio measurement
Developed by Rational Acoustics, Smaart Suite is the full-featured flagship program in the Smaart family. It incorporates all three industry-standard measurement modes—Real Time, Impulse Response, and SPL—without functional limitations. While it provides a complete solution for system alignment, optimization, and acoustical analysis, the feature-rich software could be challenging to learn for beginners.
Smaart Suite combines its three primary modes—Real-Time, Impulse Response, and SPL—into a single unified interface. Each mode features a dedicated data register, plot area, and control bar, while sharing the program’s overall configuration, commands, and controls.
One Interface, Three Modes
Real-Time Mode is at the core of the program’s utility for sound system engineers worldwide. It provides single-channel Spectrum and dual-channel Transfer Function measurements, designed to help engineers perform alignment and optimization tasks quickly and effectively. Features include unlimited simultaneous RTA measurements, up to 1/48th-octave resolution, THD and target curve displays, coherence tracking, delay finding, and support for AES-75 testing.
Impulse Response Mode focuses on time-domain analysis, offering Linear, Logarithmic, and Energy Time Curve views, alongside Histograms, Spectrographs, and frequency response data. It includes powerful tools for calculating RT60, STI, STIPA, and CIS, with noiseless and noise-present options. Users also gain access to dual-channel IR measurement, Schroeder reverse integration, and user-definable frequency bandpasses, making it indispensable for acoustical engineering.
SPL Mode delivers robust monitoring, logging, and reporting of sound pressure levels. It supports A, C, and unweighted metrics; Leq calculations from one second to 24 hours; OSHA and NIOSH exposure assessments; customizable alarms and meter colors; and PDF reporting. With 10EaZy hardware, SPL Mode can operate at Class 1 or Class 2 compliance levels, reinforcing its role as the leading software-based SPL monitoring solution.
Extended features
Beyond its three modes, Smaart Suite provides a flexible signal generator with multiple noise types, sine waves, sweeps, and file playback options. Data acquisition is highly scalable, with unlimited input/output channels, ASIO and CoreAudio driver support, SPL calibration, and integration with Roland OctaCapture and 10EaZy hardware for professional-grade measurement accuracy.
Precision without compromise
Smaart Suite brings together every critical tool for professional audio measurement into one powerful package. By unifying real-time analysis, impulse response, and SPL monitoring, it ensures sound engineers and acousticians can approach every project with confidence, accuracy, and efficiency. For those serious about audio, it stands as a complete solution that leaves nothing essential behind.
Pros
- Three modes in one
Cons
- Steep learning curve
