## What is DM?

IMPORTANT NOTE: firmware v0.0.75 and above is required for proper operation. 

DM-RTA signal analyzer provides five of the most important tools that installers use to make systems sound perfect. 

The DM-RTA can also generate the test tones and signals used for analysis, like sine waves, clicks, and pink noise. 

This portable device features a built-in battery, which can keep its charge for about 3 to 5 hours, giving you plenty of time to take readings in a vehicle before needing a recharge. There's even 48-volt phantom power available for the microphones that need it to operate

* RTA, or real-time analyzer, visualizes system response across the entire sound spectrum. You can measure the acoustic response using a microphone, or the electrical response using the line inputs.
* Voltmeter displays a signal's voltage, so you can match a device's output to another's input sensitivity.
* Polarity Checker makes sure all your drivers are moving in the same direction at the same time.
* SPL Meter helps you level-match your speakers.
* Oscilloscope displays signals as sine-type waves that show a sound's frequency, voltage level, and whether or not it's clipping five-in-one signal analyzing tool voltage meter (Vrms).
* Real-time analyzer (RTA) 1/3, 1/6, or 1/12 octave resolution.

The DM-RTA app works with mobile device using a Bluetooth connection.

### 5/5 — Super Convenient Tool

*2024-01-18, version 1.2*

What better way to use the AudioControl RTA!! Yes we can use a computer and have it hardwired but most of us would like to reduce extra things to hook up and do it from outside the vehicle.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work via Bluetooth anymore

*2023-08-10, version 1.2*

App used to work but is now garbage, makes since with the company changing hands.  Get a new RTA and get away from Audio control and PAC. There are more reliable options for professional use.

### 5/5 — Best in the market

*2020-04-24*

Great app for doing audio measurements on the go.
