Speaker Meter App Reviews

I'm not sure if the iPhone mic is really accurate enough to really use to calibrate against, but this app does seem to do fairly well at finding room modes.

It gives a nice graph of output levels at various frequencies (ostensibly) as a result of the white noise generated from the program. Should also chart the noise floor to guage the relevance of the resulting graph, because the same speaker test in a different environment yields different results that may not be correlated with any sound the speaker is generating.

Wanted to get a ballpark for equalizer settings, and this gave me just that. The bar graph presentation shows the limit of what it’s capturing which is nice to know actually, but a smoothed option would be nice to see. I have to wonder about the differences between iPhone mics and if there is sufficient compensation. I have a first gen iPhone SE, for example but the I for panel says “iPhone 8,4” which isn’t encouraging. But still, it got me a ballpark measurement so I’m happy.
