What it is rented for

System engineers use it to measure, verify and align sound systems: the transfer function guides delay and EQ adjustments and crossover alignment between subwoofers and main boxes, and on large outdoor systems Smaart also helps set delay times for delay towers. Rental companies and integrators also use it to test systems before or after a job or an installation. It can be combined with other items in our catalogue, such as the Audix TM 1 microphone, the SSL 2+ interface or the AZ 8930B calibrator; check your quote for what the rental includes.
