One TF engine, configured based on the input pairs (Measurement / Reference).

Real-Time Mode: Transfer Function (Frequency Response)

Spectrum-over-Time with amplitude represented by color.

Show Peak-Holds, Target Curves, display THD and calibrated plots.

'Line-Over-Bands' view of RTA displays both raw and banded data.

Fractional-Octave banding, up to 1/48 th octave resolution.

While Smaart Di can access multichannel devices, it is designed to control and display only two standard Spectrum engines at any given time. Smaart Di's fixed, two channel architecture provides a nimble, quickly adaptable measurement environment, with all critical configuration and control parameters accessible from a single intuitive UI (user interface) perfect for quick and precise measurements without the demands of the standard version's multi-measurement, multi-mode complexity. You donвЂ™t need a small mixer with phantom power to feed your laptop.Smaart Di v.2 (Dual-Channel Interface) is a simplified, streamlined, two channel version of the standard Smaart analysis software. This makes it super easy to use with a laptop. I did splurge on a nice microphone though that has is battery powered for phantom power. The newer versions add a lot of features but I havenвЂ™t felt like spending the money. Since they use the built device microphone the response isnвЂ™t perfectly flat so I wouldnвЂ™t trust them completely to tune a room.ДЇor PA tuning I have Smaart on my laptop. I mostly use them to identify feedback frequecies when tuning wireless or finding that exact tone thatвЂ™s ringing in a room. If you just want some help to accurately identify frequencies there are several iPad and iPhone apps that work well. While Smaart with a reference mic is ideal there are some other options. You will need a reference mic though if you want accurate, flat, frequency response, those can be pricey. Smaart is very cool and doesnвЂ™t require a very beefy computer. And for dailing in system delays that are measured in milliseconds, you really need software.

That said I try to leave the вЂњlast wordвЂќ to my ears.Дo you have to have measurement software to tune a PA? No, but it will allow you to work much faster and be more precise. I find that you donвЂ™t want to realy just on ears or software. Listen, move locations, measure, repeat, etc. Then go back to Smaart and see whatвЂ™s happening. Once some large adjustments are in place IвЂ™ll listen to some music I know really well and tweak by ear. Now you can see the frequency response of the PA without listening to pink noise which can get annoying. This looks at the reference signal from the board and the measured signal from the mic and shows you the difference. Once I make some tweaks with pink noise IвЂ™ll use the transfer function in Smaart. The software make this a quicker process than going by ear alone. Typically IвЂ™ll start tuning a PA with some pink noise and make some larger adjustments to get the PA in the ball park. With a standard mic youвЂ™ll need to get phantom power from a board which usually ties you down to one spot.

This allows me to use Smaart on my laptop and be completely portable without a board or power cables. I use it with an Earthworks reference mic that gets itвЂ™s phantom power from an internal battery. Smaart Live has been around a long time and offers a lot of features.

When youвЂ™re dialing in a system youвЂ™ll want something to reference along with your ears.
