Astounding results

Combine this with Equalizer APO, Peace Equalizer, and UMIK-1. That’s all you need.

Game changer

This is a great addition to Roon! Room correct any Roon zone with your iphone or ipad, and then create filters to be used for Roon room correction in the app.

I just used this to tune my main system and my desktop setup. The desktop filters made the speakers brand new again.

The other cool things is, even though Sonos has Trueplay tuning, you can still use this to tune things further. Since this does not do any positioning/delays/etc it makes the Sonos tune better for audio, but leaves the Trueplay tuning intact.

Roon is not cheap, but it is worth it for having room correction for all of your connected systems, forever, even as you updgrade your equipment over time. HouseCurve is a no brainer. Probably the most surpising finds for me in a long time.

Response from developer

Hello, thanks for taking the time to reach out. Shoot me an email at support@housecurve.com and I’ll give you a hand.

Great audio guidance.

Some times we need a little help confirming what we think we hear, we’ll this is it. Just wish i had choice of white back ground graph for easy printing with less ink on page.
Over all great value.

Doesn’t work for me

It displays the same graph if l use pink noise or music, eq does not change graph, it simply does not work

Should have watched the video guide

It took me 10 minutes to figure out that I need to connect my ipad to the speakers to play the measurement sine sound. After that is done, and load the new profile into Soundsource on my mac. The sound is so much better. Before this app, I used to EQ match pink noise using FabFilter Pro-Q, but this app produces a much better sounding profile.

I do have dbx driverack pa 2 with rta-m mic, but that is for my live pa system. I use this app for my desktop monitor instead.

Hated the bass

Within minutes my overblown bass issues in a small room were solved! …

Wonderful sounding

Love that the filters produced by this are so easy to use I’m Roon, and I enjoy the included house curves.

Key features to me were how easy it was to AirPlay and take measurements, and that the only curve included wasn’t a boring, flat one.

Would love to see the ability to export a zip of the filters at once and maybe something to normalize them. I thought something was wrong with my system until I figured out I needed to adjust headroom to -10 to avoid clipping.

Thank you for this app! Bravo!

Great app for home HIFI

This is a cool and very powerful app. It’s easy to use, but can give you some very helpful information to understand your room issues and correct them. I’m intending to use the output curve to import into Roon, as a room correction tool. Hoping it works well! Thanks for creating this app. Well done!

A great tool for the right purpose

This is a great app. It helped me troubleshoot some issues with my Audyssey room calibration due to the proximity of my seating to the back wall, which was causing some reflection cancellations. It’s not “reference level” but it didn’t need to be for this purpose. The developer was quick to respond to my questions about hardware and measurement technique.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro and the mic is good enough to get the job done. If I spent the money on a UMIK I would be using REW instead, but this app was the right tool just to get some idea of what my room challenges are. I tried using it with an iPad Air 4th gen too, but it gave me very different responses than the iPhone, perhaps due to its large reflective shape. The iPad rolled off below 50 Hz and had an increasing amplitude response above 2 kHz. Since I don’t have a reference mic, I’m trusting the iPhone more as it matches what I expect Audyssey to have done in terms of corrections, and the ramping frequency response from the iPad seemed grossly wrong. It probably just needs its own mic compensation.
Lastly the free app clip is perfectly executed to get a feel for what it can do.
