Realtime mode uses dual- and single- fast Fourier transform (FFT) to display RTA, spectrograph, and transfer function measurements. Smaart has two modes: Realtime Mode and impulse response mode. Smaart is an acronym which stands for sound measurement acoustical analysis real time. An acoustician version has been offered as Smaart Acoustic Tools, and a standalone version containing just the sound pressure level measurement tools is offered as Smaart SPL.


The product has been known as JBL-Smaart, SIA-Smaart Pro, EAW Smaart, SmaartLive, and simply Smaart. It is also intended to assist audio engineers in analyzing the output of loudspeakers, audio amplifiers and other audio gear, as well as helping the acoustician analyze room acoustics. Most earlier analysis systems required specific test signals sent to the sound system, ones which would be unpleasant for the audience to hear. It is designed to help the live sound engineer optimize sound reinforcement systems during the public performance. Smaart is a suite of audio and acoustical measurements and instrumentation software tools introduced in 1996 by JBL's pro audio division. Windows XP or newer, Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard" or newer
