It presents the use of Smaart in a methodical process of evaluating and adjusting the individual system components, and the subsequent combination of multiple subsystems into a multi-channel / distributed sound system. The second & third day involves a hands-on practicum focusing on the implementation of the information presented in the first days.

The first day of class are primarily a classroom lecture and lab format, relying heavily on in-class measurements. This course focuses on providing the attendee with a functional knowledge of how Smaart operates as a tool before expanding to the application of that tool in sound system engineering, and as much as possible, examines data interpretation as much as acquisition. This course begins with an overview of both the general system measurement theory involved as well as the operational context in which Smaart is used, namely in Sound System Engineering and Alignment. Special attention is paid throughout the course to the subject of how to make valid and useful measurements. The Smaart Operator Fundamentals covers the fundamentals of setting up a Smaart measurement rig and using Smaart to make basic RTA, Spectrograph, Transfer Function and Impulse Response measurements. If you have any questions concerning course prerequisites, please do not hesitate to contact the listed Smaart instructor prior to registration.

This course does assume a working knowledge of professional sound system engineering practices and basic audio fundamentals. Prior system alignment experience is not required, but is definitely helpful. The Smaart Operator Fundamentals course is open to all interested persons.
