History

JBL was the first to introduce Smaart software to the world in the Spring of 1996. A software based measurement and analysis tool, it was designed to take advantage of the rapid advances made in computer processing power. For the first time a simple and accurate acoustic measurements were made easily available. JBL Smaart, and later JBL-Smaart Pro quickly became established as the new industry standard for in-field measurements.

The Smaart Pro story did not stop there. SIA-Smaart Pro Version 3.0 was released earlier this year to wide acclaim, and now, JBL Professional leads the way again with the release of Smaart Pro v3.5, which features remote control of JBL DSC System Controllers within the Smaart Environment.
