Groove Scope
Read full descriptionHide full description
Groove Scope helps you assess your turntable setup using test-record signals and an external audio interface. Follow guided measurements, inspect live signal levels and spectrum, and compare results as you adjust your setup. Basic includes a guided 1 kHz azimuth quick check. Groove Scope Pro is available as a one-time in-app purchase and unlocks complete 1 kHz analysis, rotation fingerprints, comparisons, saved measurement sessions and PDF reports. AUDIO INTERFACE REQUIRED The built-in microphone is used only for an optional 1 kHz test-tone check. Turntable measurements require a suitable test record and an external audio interface; the built-in microphone does not replace this interface. iOS microphone/audio-input permission is also required to capture the connected interface signal. Groove Scope is designed to work with any class-compliant USB audio interface that provides two simultaneous input channels to your iPhone or iPad. Our tested and approved interfaces include the Audient EVO 4 and ART USB PhonoPlus V.2. No proprietary audio driver is required. Connect the interfaceβs line inputs to the REC OUT or PREAMP OUT of your integrated amplifier or preamplifier, using cables and connectors that match your equipment. Select line input mode where applicable. Some interfaces require external power, a powered USB hub or a compatible adapter. Our approved Audient EVO 4 and ART USB PhonoPlus V.2 support direct USB connection without a separate power supply when the connected iPhone or iPad supplies sufficient power. Power and adapter requirements depend on the host device and interface. Results depend on the test record, audio signal chain and measurement conditions.

iSqueeze - Your Squeezebox deserves the best. Logitech Squeezeboxes. They're still the best multi-room audio system. Now they have a proper iOS remote. iSqueeze discovers your Music Server (Lyrion or Logitech Media Server) on your local network and gives you full control of every player in a modern, unique and sleek interface. What you get: β’ Real-time control of all your players: power, play/pause, volume, etc. β’ Browse your entire music library and favorites - tap a song, pick a player, done. β’ Macros - automations ; save your "morning jazz on the kitchen player at 30%" routine and replay it with one tap. β’ Alarms - set per-player wake-up alarms, pick your favorite station, choose your days. β’ Sleep timers - swipe to set, swipe to cancel. Fall asleep to music. β’ Sync group visualization - see which players are linked at a glance. β’ Multi-server support - switch between servers with a tap. β’ Drag to reorder and hide players you don't use or are mainly used by other family members. β’ Dark mode, because obviously. We allow unlimited testing of all the other features without ads or nag screens. However, maximum volume of the players is limited to 15% and can be unlocked by an in-app-purchase. (We allow family sharing of that purchase.) Creating and maintaining such an app costs hundreds of dollars per year so please support this product if you like it. This feature also helps you protect your device's aging speakers, so we recommend setting it at 50% after purchase, but it's your choice. No account required. No data collected. No internet needed. Squeezebox, Logitech, and Lyrion Music Server are trademarks of their respective owners.
