AudioToolsMax is the complete professional audio test & measurement app with every tool completely unlocked and ready to use. Educational discounts are available under the Apple Educational Discount program. AudioToolsMax includes all of the additional optional modules, like SoundSource, SPL Graph, SPL Traffic Light, LARSA, Transfer Function, STIPA, Impulse Response, and more. It's the full package. We test every iOS device and calibrate the microphone level and frequency response for the best results. We have the ability to turn off the Apple low frequency filters, and on many devices we can measure up to 120 dB SPL. Add iTestMic, iPrecisionMic, or iAudioInterface2 for a complete professional audio and acoustic test and measurement platform. Actual reviews: “...AudioTools is a “how did I ever live without it” app”. “I think this application is the best I EVER purchased.” “I have used many thousands of dollars of complicated test equipment that doesn’t measure up to this app suite.” ***** Included in the app price ***** * SPL Meter A faithful reproduction of a classic analog SPL meter.
