“The v8.5 development cycle allowed us to take a deep dive into Smaart’s acoustical analysis toolset and really focus on updating it for modern impulse response measurement and analysis workflows.” says Rational Acoustics President Jamie Anderson. Other improvements to the IR Mode include new IR Data Bar, IR Plot Legend, IR Spectrograph controls and improved Speech Transmission Index (STI) calculation dialogue. The user experience in the new v8.5 IR Mode is now similar, in many ways, to the existing Real Time Mode, making it extremely easy to capture and analyze multiple Impulse Responses. In previous versions, only one IR measurement could be managed at a time. The primary focus of the Impulse Response Mode overhaul in v8.5 is to allow for measuring, viewing and manipulating multiple IR measurements simultaneously.
This is a major update and is recommended for all Smaart v8 users. This free update includes an extensive overhaul of Impulse Response Mode as well as a new “Advanced Delay Finder” dialogue, new features and improvements to SPL and Transfer Function measurements, and various bug and crash fixes. Rational Acoustics LLC announces the release of Smaart v8.5, the fifth major version update to its flagship Smaart v8 measurement platform.
