Multi-Window Capability We have added the ability to drive multiple windows, each containing its own set of tabbed workspaces. Tab-Based Interface Many users expressed a desire for a tab-based interface where one could configure and switch between multiple workspaces, so we have expanded the basic “measurement group” paradigm from v7 and now organize our configurations into tabs which include not only the configured measurements, but also the layout and plot view as well. Measurement creation on-the-fly from the main interface.Creating a Transfer Function measurement now automatically creates the accompanying Spectrum contributors to it.
SMAART LIVE SOFTWARE
It is surprising the differences in measurements that can result from adequate/inadeaquate clamping of the driver.Īnyway although I haven't answered your question, hopefully the questions I have asked may be of value.With Smaart v8, we are breaking out of the single window, fixed GUI world to allow increased control over your software environment, allowing you to adapt and expand Smaart to better match your specific applications.
SMAART LIVE DRIVER
Thirdly how are you mounting the driver when performing the test? It should be firmly clamped so that it can't vibrate, in a vertical position (assuming that is how it will be mounted in the speaker) preferably with as little around it (ie in free air) as possible. Ideally you want the level low enough that it doesn't over excite the driver, but high enough that the signal is far enough above the noise level, that you get valid data that isn't coloured by noise. If you can here the MLS pulse you are probably driving it too hard. preferably (from memory, it's been a while) you shouldn't be able to hear any sound from the speaker when you are doing the test. Dickason recommends using the lowest drive level practical. What drive levels are you using when performing the testing. How close a match are you expecting? You should be very surprised if they do match! There are always tolerances.Īlso breakin will affect what you measure (fs should drop after breakin) but in general even though all the parameters change, the overall effect is that the (modeling) results will be the same (as all the parameters change relatively).
You say that the tested speakers don't match the manufacturers data.
I haven't used the software you mention, but I'll make a few comments
