Description

A Real Time Analyzer for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Test your speakers, tune your room, do acoustical analysis work or just have a better understanding of audio frequencies. RTA is a professional-grade acoustical analysis tool. All filters meet or exceed ANSI and IEC Class 1 specifications.
Includes Octave and 1/3 Octave modes, with selectable decay times, as well as Peak Hold and true linear Average mode.
*** iOS Microphones
We have analyzied every iOS device, including all of the iPads, all iPhones, and iPod touches, and have created microphone compensation files that are applied automatically. You can trust the results you are getting, often within just a few dB of a far more expensive analyzer. Calibration is updated regularly, automatically, from our cloud-based calibration database.
Upgrade to our iTestMic or iAudioInterface2 to bring your system up to full professional specs.
*** Save and Recall Graphs
You can save and recall graphs, marked with the GPS location, date & time, and your comment, as well as store the image to your photo roll.
Export the data as an XLS formatted file to your computer for inclusion in reports or further analysis.
*** Max and Min Bars
You can also turn on resettable Max/Min bars (see image #4) to capture peaks. Double-tap to reset the bars.
*** Specifications and Devices
The internal iPhone mic has a noise floor near 30 dB, and if your are running iOS 6, clips around 120 dB.
*** Touch GUI
Fully interactive touch GUI features includes scroll up/down, pinch to zoom or compress the vertical dB scale, or swipe horizontally to get a cursor that reads out the exact dB level and frequency across the screen. To make the cursor disappear, swipe it off the graph to the left.
The landscape-mode display flips 180 degrees so that you can face the internal mic in either direction.
*** Overlay Curves
Also included are optional noise curve overlays, in NCB, RC, PNC, NC, X-Curve and NR mode. See picture #2 for an example. Use this feature to get a quick reading on the noise levels in a room. Also includes the cinema large-room X-curve overlay.
*** Calibration
RTA can be fully calibrated, whether you are using it with the internal iOS microphone, or one of our professional test & measurement mic solutions. And, if you are using iTestMic, the mic calibration is transmitted directly to the app, so you are always calibrated.
*** RTA or FFT?
If you are wondering if you should download this app or our FFT app, check out our website, we have a page devoted to this topic.

No longer works on older iPad

MasterFR on

Canada

This has always run beautifully on my older iPad and iOS 12, but this update has made it stop working. All the settings and controls are functional but it only gathers one sample and displays it on the screen and freezes, the play pause button has no effect. I really hope this can be fixed and will continue to work on the older iPads as this has always been a great app to make very good use of those.

Great rough in

TOV Tech on

Originally got this app on an iPhone 3G. Still works great on my 8. Sure you can’t use it with fancy external mic’s but it will get you 90% there so I can save my ears for the fine tuning. Also really handy for sweeping speakers after a rental for a quick and dirty damage assessment.

Do not recommend

This does not work with a microphone like iMM-6. This was a waste of money for me.

New update doesn't work

Does not work on MQDY2LL/A iPad Pro with iTestMic 2

l pazz on

United States

The app keeps saying “Accessory found iTestMic 2” then “Accessory removed iTestMic 2” and repeats until the mic is removed from my iPad Pro. Sometimes it just crashes or freezes on my iPhone 12. Both have latest IOS.

Works!

Simple to use and it provides all the info that I need. Works fine on my iPhone 15 Pro.

Good tool

chsound on

United States

I normally use smaart to tune but I’ve had this app for a long time and I still use it in a pinch. I’ve checked out some of the other RTA apps and overall I have to say this one. Straightforward, no unnecessary bells and whistles. Highly likely built by someone who actually works in the industry

The best iOS RTA

Blake.is on

United States

Ignore all of the rest of them because this one is actually calibrated for your iOS device. I tried other apps setting up my vehicle and this one is obviously accurate. After about 10 minutes of tweaking the EQ on my head unit my new speakers sound 1 million times better. If you have a hard time setting your EQ to sound good this one will get you there.

How accurate?

starfall88 on

United States

How accurate is this compare to a calibrated measuring mic? My goal is to EQ my room to have a flat response. I have an iPhone XS Max.

Horrible

DEJ9800 on

United States

I just purchased because I was referred to purchase it to help cal my room. Opened the app and the view only displays half of the app, please fix the view in OS 13.
