- scalable & movable plot that animates smoothly
- uses the whole audio range even on built-in mic
- selectable input source/mic or external device


With Spectrum-Eye, You can:

- monitor sound quality on concerts,
- ring out feedback in stage monitors,
- find resonances in acoustic environments,
- evaluate spectral properties of audio material in studio,
- develop Your hearing skills (frequency - aware hearing practice),
- detect problematic frequencies in speech/music,
- tune up car sound systems

Supports external microphones & audio interfaces compatible with Your iPad or iPhone. Currently uses sum of input channels 1 & 2.

App also employs pink noise generator for cases where You will use it with external audio interfaces. You can use the app as a pink noice generator even when screen is off.

Basic usage tips:

Re-position plot by sliding on scales (frequency scale for moving horizontally, dB scale for moving vertically). Scale the plot horizontally or vertically using two finger pinch.

Slide Your finger over the plot to move the cursor and see its position in Hz and dB.

You can also find some tweaks and fine - tunings in Settings, accessible using three-dot button on top left.
