Description

SPL Meter is a professional-grade sound level meter, also known as a decibel or dB meter, for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Modeled after a traditional analog SPL meter, we have faithfully reproduced all the characteristics and qualities found in those meters, including the ballistics, ranges, filters, and decay rates.

Under the hood we have advanced DSP-based algorithms that meet or exceed ANSI / IEC Type 1 standards. And starting with iOS 6, we can disable the mic filters and limiters, to get the real world performance of a hand-held SPL meter.

And now, upgrade SPL Meter with iTestMic, our pro-grade test & measurement mic, made specifically for iOS devices. Using iTestMic with SPL Meter, you get a calibrated, accurate SPL Meter, that meets industry standards for Type 2 performance. See our website for more information.

But don't compare us to a Radio Shack meter, ours is much more accurate!

We have also included a digital LCD display, as shown in the image, to make this the best SPL meter available for iPhone or iPad. And this is something that the old analog meters never had!

The screen will flip when you flip the phone over, so that you can point the iPhone mic directly at the sound source. (iPhone X does not support upside down mode)

SPL Meter is a universal app -- buy once, and use on all of your iOS devices.

SPL Meter is built by the same team that created the other great professional audio and acoustics apps on the store, Studio Six Digital. Built on the engine of our more expensive "SPL" app, SPL Meter's filters and decay rates meet or exceed ANSI type 1. This app is not a toy or a game.

SPL Meter is the one audio app that everyone who works in audio must have on their phone! Not only have we made the best one, but we've priced it so you can't afford not to get it.

*** FEATURES:

FILTERS -- A and C weighting filters are provided.

DECAY -- Choose ANSI Fast or Slow.

RANGES -- 40dB to 120dB in 9 ranges.

CALIBRATION -- Comes pre-calibrated for the typical iPhone or iPad built-in and headset mic, but you can adjust the calibration if you have a professional, calibrated meter to compare it to. Accesses our cloud-based iOS device calibration database, which we updates as new devices are released.

INTERNAL / EXTERNAL MIC -- Select Internal to activate the included compensation filter, which is designed to flatten the frequency response of the built-in or headset mic. External will work with our iPhone Measurement Mic, to be released later this summer. See our website for more details.

SPL Meter is bargain-priced to make it easy for anyone to check out one of our professional, accurate apps. Studio Six Digital is dedicated to making the iPhone and Touch a professional audio and acoustics test device.

Check out our full line of professional-grade audio and acoustics apps: SPL, the professional digital iPhone sound level meter, SPL Graph, for recording SPL over time, RTA, a 1/3 octave real-time analyzer, FFT, for detailed acoustic analysis, ETC, the energy-time curve function, RT60, for automated octave-band decay time measurement, Speaker Pop, to test speaker polarity, and Generator, the iPhone signal generator.

SPL Metre

TV Post Guy on

Great app. Well worth it!

Not filling screen

AJP61 on

The May 5 update seems to have resulted in the meter only filling the bottom left 10% of my ipad2 air screen. Can you correct this new error please.

Needs a graph

Thesevenyevenman on

Works well, but could use a time based DB graph, as well as a linear response visual, instead of only logerithmic

Used to work, now does not

Telesynth on

This app used to work but now does not. Not sure if it's my new phone or iOS but it does not work.

Great app

EZY555 on

Works great,easy and accurate,go to their web site for detailed description of meter.

Good.

Eugene Bortolin on

Does what it says. Knobs can be kinda fiddly, but w/e.

SPL Meter Studio Six Digital failure....

Oztez on

The program downloaded OK but can't get a response out of it (no response on the dial with two different plug in microphones) and no help is offered for this problem anywhere.... at least anywhere it is obvious to me. It's not mentioned in any forums I can find either. Shame really. Looks like a useful idea as I wanted to check the DB level of my car's interior at highway speed.

No min/max readings

RemekTek on

I would give it 5 start if they had min / max readings.

Excellent

Daylate$short on

Excellent at what it does, and appears to be remarkably acurate. Congratulations. The A and C weightings are critical for the readings to mean anything in my work. Would be improved if one could hold the reading and capture it. Proper click stops on the range knob would help select the range slightly faster, but it really isn't a problem. Could use an information page, including some comments about what impact holding the phone in various directions has on the accuracy. Wish list: an app with octave bands, at a price I can pay - I don't use it as an earner, so it still has to be cheap!!

Not satisfied

Scheffa on

Found this to be very inacurate. Was out by 35 db
