My primary use case is to take measurements of rooms with Smart Suite in places like conference rooms, auditoriums, churches etc. I usually take basic measurements with 1 or 2 mics. I would like to use one of your programs to help with the speaker settings. Most of the systems I work on are QSYS and I think I can use FIR filters in QSYS. What product would you recommend for this use case.

If you already use most of the features in FIR Designer v1, then the current FIR Designer is for you. FIR Creator and FIR Creator EX are similar but have some restrictions. For more details, see

Comparison Table of FIR Filter Design Software

FIR Designer M is aimed at multi-way loudspeaker preset creation, which would appear to be more than you need.

In addition to FIR filter capabilites, FIR Creator EX, FIR Designer and FIR Designer M all have a Qsc Q-Sys IIR filter emulation mode, which matches IIR filter behaviour in Q-SYS products.
