Alesis finally got around to making shields for securing an iPhone or iPod touch to the ProTrack stereo iPod recording device. This means that you can insert your iPhone (any model) or iPod touch (2G or later), plug in a phantom-powered measurement microphone, run SoundMeter, and turn the unit upside down for a handheld (albeit somewhat large) sound level meter. Of course, if you use SignalScope Pro, you’ll also have access to 1/3-octave and narrowband spectral analysis.
One downside is that the headphone output is completely blocked for the iPod touch. The shield itself blocks the headphone output of the iPhone, although a drill could solve that problem fairly easily. To add to the previously published results, we decided to measure the frequency response of the iPod Touch 3G. Electroacoustics Toolbox 2.1.7 was used with a MOTU UltraLite mk3 audio interface to measure the frequency response. These measurements include the response of the headset output as well as the headset input. The audio was routed [...] There haven been a few requests regarding a recently released line input device called the Logitec LIC-iREC03P. To add to the frequency response measurements done previously, we decided to add this new device to the group. SignalScope Pro’s new Meter tool builds on what SoundMeter has to offer and extends it beyond measuring acoustic signal levels to support time-weighted and equivalent levels for any supported signal type. Today, a new video, Measuring Loudspeaker Impedance with IOScope, was published on this site, as well as on the Faber Acoustical YouTube channel. The video is both a demonstration of IOScope, as well as a simple tutorial on measuring loudspeaker impedance. Although the video is largely self-explanatory, I thought it would be beneficial to include [...] With the advent of sound level meter apps for the iPhone OS (of which SoundMeter was the first) people began to ask, “How flat is the frequency response of the iPhone’s microphone?” Early testing indicated that the built-in microphone of the original iPhone was not a good candidate for sound level measurements, but that the [...] Although I already listed some options for getting line-level audio into an iPhone or iPod touch, that list didn’t include much information that would suggest which option would be best. One important metric that people frequency ask about is frequency response. Well, I finally have some frequency response comparisons available to help answer that question. People often ask about the frequency response of iPhone and iPod touch audio inputs. To shed some light on the issue, I made some frequency response measurements of the iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 2G with Electroacoustics Toolbox and an Edirol FA-101 audio interface. These measurements are broken into two groups, one [...] Measuring Time Delay in an Audio System Using Electroacoustics Toolbox Measuring Audio Unit Effects Plug-ins Using Electroacoustics Toolbox, Soundflower, and AU Lab |
