Clicking on the Smaart button at the top of the VSL window will launch Smaart
System Check Mode. While in this mode you can launch any of the following wizards:
• SRA: Smaart Room Analysis generates a frequency-response
trace and overlays it on the parametric EQ in VSL so you can adjust
your system to get rid of unwanted anomalies in the room.
• SSD: Smaart System Delay calculates and sets the correct
amount of delay time between two full-range systems.
• SOC: Smaart Output Check verifies that your system
outputs are routed correctly and are passing signal.
To run any of the Smaart System Check Wizards, VSL will need to
take over your mixer. When you first click on the Smaart System
Check button, you will see a warning to this effect.
Clicking on the “Proceed” button will launch the Wizard select window and you will
no longer have control over your mixer. You can exit the Wizards and regain control at
any point simply be clicking on the Overview, Fat Channel, GEQ, or Setup tabs in VSL.
Note: To run the SRA and SSD wizards, you will need to connect a measurement
microphone to your StudioLive’s Talkback input. You’ll also need a mic stand
and a long enough cable to place the mic in front of your speakers.
A measurement microphone is special type of condenser microphone that is
designed to provide an accurate reproduction of a room’s sound characteristics
for use with audio-analysis tools, such as RTAs and spectrographs. Measurement
microphones typically have an omnidirectional polar pattern and deliver a very flat
frequency response between a low end of 5 Hz to 30 Hz and a high end of 15 to
30 kHz. While measurement microphones can be quite expensive, most affordable
models will do the job nicely when paired with the Smaart System Check Wizards.
