"We are continually amazed and grateful for the outstanding quality of the companies who are interested in getting involved with the Smaart platform." says Karen Anderson, Rational Acoustics COO.

Notes Wigwam managing director Mick Spratt, "Wigwam Acoustics are pleased to be the UK distribution partner for Rational Acoustics and the Smaart range of measurement tools. We see this as a great opportunity to help engineers in the UK gain access to products and training with the audio industry's premier measurement software."
