Spectrum Lab vs BMA Spectrum Analyzer

A real-time audio spectrum analyzer with a fast, responsive display. Monitor live frequencies from any input source, including built-in microphones, USB devices, and Bluetooth audio. Peak detection helps you track signal changes instantly and see how your signal evolves over time. Use it to analyze music, inspect mixes, and understand the frequency balance of tracks in real time. Check how different environments affect sound, identify noise or unwanted frequencies, and get a clear view of what your microphone is actually capturing. Test speakers, headphones, and audio equipment to see how they respond across the frequency range. Useful for quick checks, setup validation, and comparing different devices or signal paths. Also helpful during development and debugging - visualize audio output, verify signal presence, and monitor changes instantly without needing complex tools. Designed to be simple and direct: no manual configuration, no unnecessary controls. Just open the app, select your input, and start analyzing. No setup required. Everything runs automatically.

BMA Spectrum Analyzer turns your iPhone or iPad into a professional real-time audio spectrum analyzer. Built around a precision FFT engine with a retro instrument aesthetic, it delivers instant visual feedback on any sound source - from mixing and mastering to live events and room acoustics. HOW IT WORKS Point the microphone at any audio source and watch the frequency spectrum come alive across the full 31.5 Hz – 20 kHz range. The METER panel tracks AVG, PEAK, CREST and MAX levels with frequency readout in real time.
