Rational Acoustics training – course descriptions & full curriculum links
“Smaart Basics” course description
Length of Class: 1 Day
Smaart Platform: Smaart v.7 Di
At the completion of a single day Smaart Basics training class, attendees will have been guided through configuring and running RTA, Spectrograph, and Transfer Function measurements via the dual-channel Smaart v.7 Di platform. While the class uses the Smaart v.7 Di platform, many of the fundamental concepts used in Smaart will be addressed throughout.
“Smaart Operator Fundamentals” course description
Length of Class: 2 Days
Smaart Platform: Smaart v.7
Rational Acoustics’ Smaart Operator Fundamentals class comprises the material you need to know to use a Smaart rig effectively – it is the both starting point for learning to use Smaart, as well as the material that you will need to return to on an ongoing basis and master to become an advanced user. The standard session length for the Operator Fundamentals class is 16hrs, split between two 8hr days.
“Smaart Application Practicums”
Length of Class: 1 Day
Smaart Platform: Smaart v.7
Rational Acoustics’ Smaart Application Practicums focus on the use of the Smaart measurement platform in “real world” professional audio engineer work. They examine the implementation of the information presented in the Operator Fundamentals – the various measurement capabilities, control parameters, data reading and measurement rig configuration skills – in using Smaart as tool for professional sound system engineering tasks.
There are currently 2 different Application Practicums available:
“System Alignment Practicum”
This is the practicum included with all standard 3-day Smaart training sessions offered throughout the year. It focuses specifically on the implementation of the information presented in the Smaart Operator Fundamentals class.
Application Practicum: System Alignment
“Multichannel Measurement Practicum”
This practicum is a more advanced practicum focusing on the complexities of multi-channel measurement configurations and is offered as an optional 4th day at selected Smaart training sessions throughout the year. This practicum is designed to be very hands-on and requires all attendees to have computers outfitted with both Smaart v.7 and Dante Virtual Sound Card.
