Description
Rational Acoustics SMAART Suite
Smaart Suite is the full-featured flagship Smaart program, including all three industry-standard measurement modes (Real Time, Impulse Response, and SPL), with no functional limitations.
Suite is the edition that most closely matches the functionality found in Smaart v8.
One Interface, Three Modes
Smaart Suite contains all three Smaart modes: Real-Time, Impulse Response, and SPL. Each mode has a data register, plot area, and control bar associated with it and shares the overall program configuration, command, and control structure.
Real-Time Mode
For a majority of Smaart users, Real-Time mode is what makes Smaart smart. The single channel Spectrum and dual channel Transfer Function measurements are essential tools for professional sound engineers all around the world. Real-Time Mode is specifically designed for sound system engineers to be able to accomplish their alignment and optimization work quickly, efficiently, and effectively.
Impulse Response Mode
Unlike Real-Time Mode which primarily displays measurement data in the frequency domain, IR Mode excels at displaying the response of a system in the time domain, with detailed Linear, Logarithmic, and ETC (energy time curve) views, Histogram and Spectrograph plots, as well as frequency response. Acoustical engineers will appreciate IR Mode for its detailed calculations and tables for RT60, STI, STIPA, CIS, and more.
SPL Mode
Smaart’s SPL Mode provides a powerful solution for monitoring, logging, and reporting sound pressure level. With SPL history plots, fully customizable metering, remote-viewing capabilities, Alarms, and Event Notes, customizable ‘traffic light’ meter coloring, logging and report generation, and Class 1 or 2 capability with 10 EaZy hardware – Smaart is the industry’s leading software-based SPL monitoring solution.

System Requirements
The minimum system requirements for the Smaart v9 platform have changed from Smaart v8. Please read the requirements below carefully to ensure v9 is compatible with your system.
| Minimum Req. | Windows | macOS |
| OS Version | Windows 10 (64-bit only) | macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) |
| Processor / CPU | 6th gen Intel Core i5 or similar/newer* | 6th gen Intel Core i5 or similar/newer (2015 or newer) Any Apple Silicon M series |
| Memory / RAM | 4GB | 4GB |
| Graphics | Hardware supporting DirectX 12** | Any |
| Display | 1024 x 768 | 1024 x 768 |
| Sound | ASIO® or WAV/WDM drivers | Core Audio drivers |
Note: Minimum requirements are established to ensure reasonable performance when default settings are used. Consider a more powerful computer if you plan to use large FFT sizes, or run many measurements at the same time.
*Smaart does not support “Windows on ARM”
**Must support Feature Level 12 / WDDM 2.0+
Licensing Information: perpetual + Upgrade
A Perpetual License does not expire. A Perpetual License is billed in full for the cost of the license at the time of purchase and remains valid indefinitely for the specific edition and version of the software you are licensed for.
Perpetual Licenses are delivered via email and must be registered to a Smaart License Management Account (either new or existing) in order to access the installers for your license.

Perpetual licenses of Smaart Suite and Smaart RT come with 2 installation seats and perpetual licenses of Smaart LE and Smaart SPL come with 1 seat. Once a license has been registered, you can purchase additional seats for it through your Smaart License Management Account.
Perpetual Licenses can be upgraded to different editions of Smaart within the same version cycle (i.e. upgrading from Smaart RT v9 to Smaart Suite v9), and to subsequent versions upon their release (i.e. upgrading from Smaart Suite v9 to Smaart Suite v10). You do not lose your previous license when you upgrade.
An internet connection is required for the initial activation of a Perpetual License and for receiving updates. Once activated, Smaart perpetual licenses can be operated offline.
Support, including updates and bug fixes, is provided at no cost for the duration of the license as long as the version of Smaart you are licensed for is the most current release.
Licensing Information: Subscription
An Annual Subscription License starts on the day payment is received and continues for a period of one year.

Once the subscription period has ended, your Annual Subscription License will expire and Smaart will cease to function. If you wish to continue using Smaart, you will need to purchase a new Subscription License.
