Tools and charts

Below are the kinds of charts the app draws from measurements. They are interactive, but the data is generated for the example: you take real measurements with the app.

Frequency response and impedance

Demonstration data

Level (SPL), phase and impedance magnitude of two speakers, which can be overlaid.

Hover over the chart to read values. Scroll wheel or pinch to zoom, drag to pan, double-click to reset. Keyboard: arrows, + and −, 0.

Decay: waterfall and spectrogram

Demonstration data

How sound dies away over time, frequency by frequency: resonances linger longer.

Hover over the chart to read values. Scroll wheel or pinch to zoom, drag to pan, double-click to reset. Keyboard: arrows, + and −, 0.

Distortion and harmonics

Demonstration data

FFT spectrum of a 1 kHz tone with numbered harmonics and THD, or THD+N across the band.

Hover over the chart to read values. Scroll wheel or pinch to zoom, drag to pan, double-click to reset. Keyboard: arrows, + and −, 0.

The tools

  • Analyzer

    Oscilloscope, XY/Lissajous and spectrum from the audio interface, full screen, with real-time measurements.

  • Multimeter

    Voltage, frequency, power, THD+N, hum and A-weighted noise from the calibrated audio interface, or a networked bench multimeter (SCPI). Chart and one-minute recording with PDF report.

  • Turntable bench

    Speed, wow & flutter, crosstalk, harmonics and VTA with test records; before/after comparisons and reports.

  • Reel-to-reel recorders

    Guided ten-step alignment: speed, azimuth, levels, equalisation and bias, with the manufacturer’s values and a PDF report.

  • Room acoustics

    Analysis of the listening room with a 3D view of the room and suggestions on treatments.

  • Tubes

    Measurement archive, plate curves and tube matching.
