Description
The class welcomes everyone. Prior alignment experience isn’t necessary but useful. A basic understanding of sound system engineering and audio fundamentals is assumed. Contact the Smaart instructor for prerequisite queries before registering.
Smaart Operator Fundamentals teaches setup and usage of Smaart for RTA, Spectrograph, Transfer Function, and Impulse Response measurements, with a focus on valid techniques.
The course starts with system measurement theory and Smaart’s operational context in Sound System Engineering. It then teaches how Smaart works and its application in sound system engineering, emphasizing data interpretation alongside acquisition.
The Operator Fundamentals Class offers:
- Basics of dual-channel FFT-based analysis in our industry
- Clear explanation of their implementation in Smaart software
- Detailed hands-on exploration of setting up and managing a Smaart measurement system.
Covered Topics (not limited to):
- Measurement Basics: Single vs. dual-channel, time vs. frequency analysis, FFT overview.
- Smaart Software: Installation, configuration, interface usage.
- Measurement Rig: Hardware needs, setups, troubleshooting.
- RTA and Spectrograph: Averaging, feedback detection, calibration.
- Transfer Function: Magnitude, phase, coherence traces, data improvement.
- Impulse Response: Delay setup, time alignment, FFT impact.
- SPL Logging: Using Smaart & 10Eazy.
- Positioning: System alignment points, mic placement.
- Single vs. Multiple Positions.
- Speaker Tuning: Near-field measurements, coverage evaluation, response adjustment.
- Extension of Coverage: Fill, Delay Systems.
- Alignment Checklist: Frequency, level, delay, polarity.
- LTC Process: Level-Time-Combine for system integration.
- Quick Delay Setup.
- Subwoofer Challenges: Real-world measurements, crossover timing, arrays.
