EAW Smaart 6 Operation Manual

Chapter 1: Getting Started

Since its initial introduction in 1996, Smaart

has firmly established itself as the most

comprehensive and widely used software product in the pro audio industry for real-time

sound system measurement, optimization, and control. Smaart performs dual-channel,

FFT-based audio measurement in an intuitive, accessible interface that integrates mea-

surement, analysis, and data logging.

Smaart 6 has been rebuilt from the ground up in a modern, object-oriented architectural

design. This significant architectural upgrade enables increased measurement power,

and cross-platform operation. Smaart 6 now runs native under Mac OSX and Windows

XP from the same unified source code. A decade of user input has been integrated

with EAW’s innovations to enhance and streamline the user interface. Smaart 6 can

also remotely control an extensive, constantly expanding list of professional equalizers

and DSP processors.
