This is a good topic.

We have had the chance before to look into their nifty tools for measuring what's going on inside a vehicle and this is what we see.

Vital Power vs SPL-Lab's Smart Monitor.

Vital Power makes these tools for measuring and monitoring in realtime basically everything imaginable...

Smart Monitor measures, monitors AND PROTECTS what it measures in realtime.

The only measure of protection i have seen VP does is prevent damage from low voltage. Well, that's not enough.

VP's tools are a great idea, in our eyes, until we find out they are permanently installed, hardwired into place.

What's not interesting about this is no one needs to see their impedance "rise", their real wattage draw and output, etc..

Those are values that should only be measured during troubleshooting or testing for competition.

To have those values in front of you all day long is like putting temperature probes all over the vehicle and staring at them while you are driving.

A driver is NOT safe having these values shift and change constantly while driving.

So, we built a device that actually protects what those values measure.

Whether your voltage dips too low, too high, too much current dumping into your speakers, too much clipping driving your speakers, it doesn't matter. SMART Monitor will trip all aftermarket car audio accessories and alert you as to what exactly tripped.

We want your eyes to stay on the road and feel safe that no matter what you do, your installed investment is safe with the SMART Monitor (aside from manufacturer defects) and you should enjoy every minute of your install without having to stare at a screen the entire time wondering what 8 different things are doing.

Our SMART Monitor can ALSO measure impedance "rise", real wattage output and clipping monitor for low, mid and high range output via firmware flash used for TESTING ONLY.

To enforce this, once flashed, we disable the entire DC side of measurement so the "cool" factor is removed.

We want the user to tune with an easy fashion and feel safe together. If you already have this protection device, might as well be able to use it for tuning your equipment for free because you need no additional tools.
