Rational Acoustics And Audient Team Up To Offer Integrated
Control For EVO Devices From Within Smaart
Rational Acoustics and Audient team up to enhance EVO devices with Smaart v9 update
Rational Acoustics LLC and Audient Ltd. announced the upcoming integration between
Smaart v9 and the
EVO line of audio interfaces.
The Smaart 9.1 update, scheduled to be released in mid-December integrates the controls for phantom
power and gain for Audient's EVO devices - EVO 4, 8, and 16 - directly from within the Smaart
interface. Additionally, gain tracking may be enabled to allow for automatic decibel offset
recalculation for calibrated inputs.
With gain tracking enabled, users can adjust the input gain of the EVO preamps without losing SPL
calibration. Smaart will automatically adjust the calibration to reflect the new dB offset. In
tandem with the EVO Control app, all of the EVO's input and output settings can be adjusted, and
recalled, digitally.
"This exciting partnership with Audient adds gain tracking functionality to a new and modern
interface, readily available to the Smaart user base," notes Chris Tsanjoures, Rational
Acoustics
Director of Product Management. "With gain tracking, users who are involved in SPL measurement can
calibrate their EVO interface and maintain that calibration as the preamp level is adjusted -
something that is simply not possible with pure analogue interfaces."
"We are delighted to partner with Rational Acoustics in integrating our huge selling EVO 2, 4 and 8
channel audio interfaces into the Smaart v9 platform," says Audient Marketing Director Andy Allen.
"With EVO's ability to digitally control the interface's gain, phantom power and polarity via our
EVO Control app running on users' laptops and now with Smaart's embedded integration, we're
providing a new, intuitive workflow for Smaart users everywhere. Indeed, a Gain Changing solution."
