New EAW Smaart v.6 Now Released And Available

Features Unified Mac and PC Cross-Platform Source, Streamlined Interface

 Whitinsville, MA – March 28, 2007 – New EAW Smaart v.6 for PC and Mac has been released and is available for download at the EAW website (specific URL: http://www.eaw.com/smaart).

This Smaart v.6 download can be run as a fully functional 30-day demo, and can be unlocked into a full license through the on-line purchase of a Smaart v.6 license code for $795. Additionally, as an EAW branded product, Smaart v.6 can also be purchased as a physical software package via the standard EAW dealer and distributor network.

Smaart v.6 sound system measurement and analysis software features a comprehensive re-write of its underlying architecture that dramatically enhances multi-tasking, in addition to a new streamlined interface for simpler operation and for the first time ever, full compatibility with Macintosh OS X.

Specifically, Smaart v.6 is now a Universal application designed to take full advantage of the performance increases delivered by Intel-based Macs. It is now built from a unified cross-platform source base with near-complete parity between both Mac OS X and Windows versions, in addition to working with Core Audio and ASIO drivers.

Further, Smaart v.6 can receive multi-channel inputs via ASIO under Windows or Core Audio on
Mac OS X, enabling selection of measurement signals from a multi-channel device within Smaart. This new data acquisition module opens up a vast array of multi-channel audio devices now available on the market, such as the Mackie Onyx 800F FireWire preamp. It greatly simplifies the hardware setup requirements for operating a multi-microphone Smaart measurement rig. (Note that current Smaart users preferring to switch to the Mac version need only to pay the standard upgrade fee for Smaart v.6.)

Smaart v.6 also has dramatically increased capability for storing, recalling, and displaying a virtually unlimited number of reference data traces such as Frequency Response and RTA.  Moreover, all captured measurements are now stored directly to the hard drive to prevent accidental loss due to power failures or other interruptions. Advanced trace averaging capabilities have also been added.
