Smaart Data Modeler
Smaart Data Modeler is a new DSP modeling software tool designed to allow you to perform virtual audio system alignment and optimization through the use of level, equalization, polarity, and timing adjustments and to view the effects of those adjustments on Smaart measurement data.
In partnership with Eclipse Audio, Smaart Data Modeler is able to model filter topologies for specific DSP devices, allowing you to apply various filter settings and preview the summed response of multiple traces before committing those settings to DSP. If your DSP is a supported third-party device and has a compatible file export format in Data Modeler, you can import those settings from DM directly to your device. For non-supported devices, a generic DSP mode is available and settings can be manually implemented.
HOW CAN DATA MODELER BE USED?
-
As a System Alignment Tool
After gathering measurement data in Smaart, use Data Modeler to virtually model the entire system alignment session - without being connected to the sound system, or even off-site - and then later implement your DSP settings to the system.
-
As an Educational Tool
Use Data Modeler to practice system alignment with real world data. Great for students or professionals looking to hone their skills such as multi-position speaker equalization, cardioid subwoofers, mains to subwoofer alignment and, of course, virtual system alignment.
-
As an Investigative Tool
Take your data with you after an alignment session and answer any of those "what if's" - questions about the data after you've completed a project to identify areas for future improvement, or for experimentation that couldn't be accomplished on site.
KEY FEATURES
-
Familiar Interface
Data Modeler is built with the Smaart environment in mind. The DM interface allows you to mimic real-world alignment scenarios in a familiar Smaart-based GUI (graphical user interface).
-
Third Party DSP Compatibility
In partnership with Eclipse Audio, Smaart Data Modeler is capable of emulating, and creating files compatible for export to, specific industry leading third-party DSP manufacturers such as QSC Q-SYS, Powersoft, Biamp Tesira, Linea Research, Symetrix and others.
-
Smaart Compatibility
Data Modeler can be used with measurement data generated by Smaart v7 and newer. Data from Smaart v6 and earlier is not supported. If you are using v8 or newer, data transfer is seamless via a simple drag n' drop.
-
Puts You in Control
Data Modeler allows for an unlimited number of DSP channels, each with an unlimited number of IIR filters, plus standard controls such as level, polarity, and delay. From simple stereo systems to to complex multi-channel theme parks, Data Modeler is designed to be able to scale up to your needs regardless of channel count.
-
Distinct Operational Modes
Data Modeler includes three operational modes. Modeler Mode is a free-run sandbox for system alignment and optimization whereas SER (System-EQ-Result) Mode, and Sum (Summation) Mode are tailored specifically to assist with loudspeaker equalization and summation.
-
Intuitive System Modeling
Data Modeler allows you to build a DSP layout that mimics your hardware system configuration. DSP channels can be quickly added on the fly, and multiple channels can be linked to apply overall changes to subsystems, just as you might do in the real world.

Data Modeler FAQ's
What is Smaart Data Modeler?
Data Modeler is a software tool that models the effects of equalization and changes in level, polarity and time, as well as summation between multiple systems using Smaart measurement data.
When is Smaart Data Modeler going to be released?
Data Modeler will be released on Tuesday, May 21st at 10 AM EST.
How much does Data Modeler cost?
Data Modeler is priced at $349 for a single-install, perpetual license. Owners of Smaart Suite v9 receive a discounted price of $199. CLICK HERE for complete Data Modeler pricing and licensing information
Is Data Modeler Available as Perpetual License or by Subscription?
Data Modeler is available as a single-install perpetual license only. Subscription licenses are note available. CLICK HERE for complete Data Modeler pricing and licensing information.
Can Smaart Data Modeler be used for real time measurement and analysis?
No. Smaart Data Modeler is not an audio analyzer. Measurement data for use in Data Modeler must be created in Smaart (version 7 or higher) and imported to Data Modeler for use.
What versions of Smaart is Data Modeler compatible with?
Data Modeler can be used with measurement data generated by Smaart v7 or newer. Data from Smaart v6 or earlier is not supported.
Can Smaart Data Modeler emulate the EQ of my DSP device or amplifier?
Data Modeler includes IIR filter emulation for any DSP brand supported by Eclipse Audio, including Biamp Tesira, Blaze Audio, BSS, Lake Mesa, Linea Research, Marani, Pascal Audio, Powersoft, QSC Q-SYS, Ram Audio, RMS Acoustics, and Symetrix. A "generic" mode is available for users of DSP devices that are not currently supported.
How do I get "(Insert Manufacturer Here)" to be included in the list of supported DSP devices in Data Modeler?
Manufacturers interested in having their branded IIR filter emulation in Data Modeler must contact Eclipse Audio for instructions. HERE is an overview of what is required.
Does Smaart Data Modeler support FIR filtering?
No. Data Modeler is a tool for system alignment, where manufacturer loudspeaker processor settings are generally locked down and unable to be changed on site. If you are interested in creating loudspeaker presets and individual loudspeaker processor settings, Eclipse Audio's FIR Designer is a more appropriate tool.
Minimum System Requirements
Smaart Data Modeler shares the same minimum system requirements as Smaart v9.
Please read the requirements carefully to ensure that Smaart Data Modeler is compatible with your system
