Introduction

Smaarting the sound system has turned into a bad word. It refers to a quick and easy sound system tuning procedure that can ruin your show.

Here’s how to Smaart® the sound system:

1. Buy audio analyzer software.
2. Don’t practice at home.
3. Take a single measurement of the combined system at FOH with 1/3oct smoothing.
4. Insert 50 EQ filters to make the trace appear flat.
5. Don’t use your ears. Base all of your decisions on the graph.
