Anyone use the Audio Tools iphone app?

caesar · Mar 24, 2013

How good is this app? It's only $20. What are the most pertinent modules for audiophiles? If this thing really works, it could be a killer app for guys setting up your gear.

Also, they are asking $200 for a microphone? Do you have to use theirs?

I saw that one when I was looking but here is the one I bought from the app store for $14.99 and it is more accurate than my Phonic PAA2

you'll learn a lot about your room from this app.

Definitely a thumbs' up

Can you use this app without another microphone Steve? Another words, just use your Iphone?

Steve Williams · Mar 24, 2013

yes. The digital mic is fantastic. I threw out my Phonic after getting this one. It gives 1/6 octave RTA as well as spectrograpgh, FFT and test tones

I use the Stereophile Test CD Track 4 with Pink Noise

The digital mic built into the Iphone is fantastic? I have the Iphone 4s.

Steve Williams · Mar 24, 2013

I have the 4s also Mark

For $15 give it a shot. As I said, I compared it to my Phonic and stopped using my Phonic

I will give it a shot. I'm in Iowa right now for one more week and will be coming home this Friday.

I'd be interested in what you think of it Mark. I've been using it now for the past 2 weeks and am very happy. As I said you'll learn a lot about your room.

I hope it's not hard to use and understand.

Steve Williams · Mar 24, 2013

Even I could figure it out Mark. You just bought an expensive LP. For $15 buy the app and give it a try

mep · Mar 24, 2013

Oh, I'm going to buy it Steve.

Good test tracks here, both correlated and uncorrelated full spectrum pink, plus stages, etc. Your listening environment will be spectrascoped.

I went to download the app, but I have to upgrade to the newest IOs operating system first which I'm doing right now.

I use the StudioSix Digital app, and highly recommend it. It measures fairly close to my larger measurement rigs based around ETF (RD) and REW along with two separate calibrated mics.

So for 'casual' measurements, it's great. And still very applicable if that's your only measurement choice. definitely better than nothing.

I got the app. What benefit do you get out of it ? What test tones ect have to be used to determine room response, ect ?

Steve Williams · Mar 27, 2013

You use pink noise Christian just like you would with any RTA. I maintain that at $14.99 it is a terrific app. Christian use track 4 of Stereophile Test CD and learn something about your room response before you so glibly condemn this app. As I said, it is so good that I threw out my $275 Phonic PAA2

I also bought the Onyx app at Steve's suggestion. It has proved extremely useful, especially for the price. I was able to identify a few problem areas in frequency response in my room very quickly.
