Re: Aligning and Correcting Speakers QuestionKendall,I align and equalize loudspeaker systems, and I have some software that helps. If I let the software make the decisions I would get some very stupid and bad alignments and even worse EQ. Smaart and all other measurement programs are more than $100 because they cost a lot to develop and support, because people like me depend on them to do our jobs quickly and reliably. That said, I could do a half decent alignment with cheaper software - it would just be slow and perhaps frustrating. I require time domain information that most cheap software doesn't make available, and there are subtleties of measured results that might be inaccurate or missing.Rational Acoustics has recently introduced Smaart DI, a simpler version of the software that's available for less money. It is a bargain for such a smooth and consistent piece of measurement software. That said, I would suggest spending your money on a training course first.
