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 โ 20 kHz range. The METER panel tracks AVG, PEAK, CREST and MAX levels with frequency readout in real time. FREE โข Real-time spectrum display โข 2 band configurations: 7 and 11 bands โข 2 visual themes โข Live METER with AVG, PEAK, CREST and MAX โข Tap-to-read frequency and level PRO - ONE-TIME PURCHASE โข Full controls: fall rate, hold time and compression โข All 5 band configurations: 7, 11, 14, 21 and 31 bands โข All 11 visual themes โข Peak hold display, brightness mode and linear scale โข Spectral envelope (ENV) average curve overlay โข FFT resolution selector โข High-precision dual 4096-point FFT for low frequencies โข SPL calibration offset for live sound measurement SPL CALIBRATION Installing sound for a live event or venue? Calibrate against a reference SPL meter and the app displays calibrated dB SPL readings in the METER panel - useful for system checks, venue tuning and compliance measurements. DESIGNED FOR Musicians - Audio Engineers - Live Sound Technicians - Studio Producers - Educators - Audiophiles PRIVACY All audio processing runs entirely on-device.

Audio Spectrum Pro

A professional audio toolkit for live sound engineers. Audio Spectrum Pro is a complete measurement suite on your iPhone: spectrum analyzer, chromatic tuner, oscilloscope, loudness meter, test-signal generator, and RT60 reverberation time measurement. Everything in one app, with a dark interface built for the stage and the concert hall. SPECTRUM ANALYZER Real-time spectrum from 50 Hz to 16 kHz on a logarithmic scale. Automatic peak detection highlights problem frequencies instantly. The "EQ Suggestions" panel tells you which band to cut and by how many decibels - before feedback ever happens. CHROMATIC TUNER High-precision pitch detection accurate to hundredths of a cent. Supports guitar, bass, violin, viola, cello, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and a chromatic mode. Adjustable A4 reference, capo support, and a noise gate to reject bleed from the PA. OSCILLOSCOPE Real-time waveform display for signal-integrity checks, phase inspection, and clipping detection. The first thing you reach for when something sounds wrong. LOUDNESS METER Simultaneous RMS and true-peak readout with a scrolling history graph (120 frames). Watch your average level and catch peak spikes before they slam your limiters. TEST-SIGNAL GENERATOR Pink noise, white noise, a logarithmic sine sweep (20 Hz to 20 kHz), or a fixed tone from 50 Hz to 8 kHz - all played through the speaker while the mic keeps analyzing. Tune PA systems, ring out monitor wedges, and find room resonances without a separate signal generator. RT60 REVERBERATION ANALYSIS Tap Start, make an impulse (a clap, a click, or a sine sweep) - the app records the decay, computes T20, and extrapolates RT60. Size up a room's acoustics in seconds and know whether they're working for you or against you. BUILT FOR THE FIELD - Mic gain control with the volume buttons - one hand, while the other stays on the console - Fully dark interface - readable under stage lighting, easy on your night vision - Landscape orientation - lay it on the meter bridge or a side table - Three interface languages: English, Russian, Ukrainian Microphone access is required. A speaker or headphones are needed to play test signals.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Audio Spectrum Pro at none against BMA Spectrum Analyzer's 1. Audio Spectrum Pro also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
