The Rational Acoustics Smaart Operator Fundamentals class is a two-day, hands-on training session. Using Dante Virtual Sound Card, audio will be distributed to participants' computers, allowing for practical learning experiences. Owning Smaart is not required as a 30 day demo of Smaart suite is avaliable for use during the class. For those who attend the class a 30% off discount for perpetual licences can be obtained during or just after the class. At the end of the course you will be supplied with a one time use code to take the online certification test.

22Live - Test Drive, September 23rd 2025, Redditch UK
We are throwing open the doors of our brand-new Redditch HQ for “22live – Test Drive” — a full-day open event on Tuesday, 23rd September 2025, between 10:30am and 5:00pm, aimed at anyone working in live sound, touring, production, and events.
Designed as a hands-on, real-world showcase, Test Drive is a chance to get into the detail on some of the industry’s latest products to really gain understanding and also a unique opportunity to compare and contrast.
In addition to getting hands on with the gear you can also meet the team, and see how 22live supports clients across sales and hire activities as well as some of the training opportunities we can provide.
Whether you’re specifying for a tour, building an install, considering the latest purchase for your company, or just want to try something new, this is a chance to get in the room with people who have real world experience of these products, with the 22live team also being supported by the various brands represented at the event.
All are welcome whether you intend to get into detail with the equipment, or whether you just want a chat and some free food.

“This isn’t a trade show — it’s a chance to get hands-on with real systems, ask questions, and speak to people who’ve already been in the thick of it with this gear,” said Alex Penn from 22live. “We wanted to give people an opportunity to experience some of pro-audio’s hottest products in a new format, which should help people to make better educated decisions in their equipment choices for both hire and sales. We’re also keen to meet new people and show off our new facility, so it should be a great day for all whether networking or wanting to test drive new products.”
