Spectrum Analyzer+ FFT transforms your iPhone into a professional audio frequency analyzer. Using the built-in microphone, it visualizes sound frequencies in real time with a detailed FFT spectrum display. The analyzer captures live audio through the microphone and breaks it down into individual frequency bands, showing the amplitude of each frequency from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Note: This app analyzes audio in real time for visualization purposes only — it does not record or store any audio. Key Features: - Real-time FFT audio spectrum visualization via microphone - Frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz - Peak frequency detection with Hz display - Average dB level per frequency band - Adjustable dB range for detail viewing - Smooth animated bar display - Dark theme optimized for readability Whether you're a musician tuning instruments, an audio engineer checking room acoustics, or a sound enthusiast exploring frequencies, Spectrum Analyzer+ gives you a powerful visualization tool in your pocket.

RTA is a pocket-sized real-time spectrum analyzer built for audio engineers and PA operators. FEATURES - Switchable resolution: 31, 63, or 127 bands - A/C/Z frequency weighting (IEC 61672-1 compliant) - High-precision peak detection using raw FFT data with parabolic interpolation - Peak hold - Calibration offset (for matching a reference measurement device) - Tap any band to see its exact frequency and dB level - Upside-down mode for inverted mounting - Multiple color themes (Black / White / Neon / B&W) NO ADS, NO PRESSURE This app has no interruptive ads. If you find it useful, you can support development with an optional tip. Handy for quick frequency balance checks and finding feedback points in the field. Note: readings are for relative reference only and are not guaranteed to match a calibrated measurement instrument.
