iPod Touch 3G Headset IO Frequency Response

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 -> read more …

Frequency Response Measurement of Logitec LIC-iREC03P

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.

This measurement was made using an iPod Touch 2G. As before, the audio was routed through the phone -> read more …

SignalScope Pro includes SoundMeter tool

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. -> read more …

Measuring Loudspeaker Impedance with IOScope

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 -> read more …

iPhone Microphone Frequency Response Comparison

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 -> read more …

iPhone Line Input Frequency Response Comparison

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 -> read more …

iPhone Dock and Headset IO Frequency Response

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, -> read more …

Measuring Time Delay with Electroacoustics Toolbox

Measuring Time Delay in an Audio System Using Electroacoustics Toolbox

Although Electroacoustics Toolbox is not limited to measuring audio systems, the measurement of audio systems is a common use that offers convenient ways to demonstrate the capabilities of the software. These examples can then be applied to other applications in which the Toolbox’s measurement -> read more …
