Speaker Positioning
Read full descriptionHide full description
Find a more useful speaker position by testing one change at a time. Speaker Positioning combines a measured 3D room view with acoustic measurements and a before-and-after comparison. SEE YOUR SETUP Mark both speakers and your listening position with the camera. View the room in 3D, rotate it, zoom in and switch to a top view. Read listening distances, wall clearances and proposed test moves directly in the scene. On a compatible LiDAR iPhone, scan walls, openings and simplified furniture. An optional second pass captures coloured surfaces. Switch between the clean measurement view and room colours. Without LiDAR, define the room footprint manually. TEST A CHANGE Connect your stereo system, measure at the listening position, then try one change. Measure again with the same volume, microphone position and signal path. Compare the left/right arrival-time difference, both bass-response shapes and changes in position. The app explains when two measurements cannot safely be compared. KEEP THE RESULT Save measurements and their room views locally. Revisit the comparison before deciding whether to keep the change. Speaker-model and subwoofer guidance help you plan further tests. FREE FEATURES ⢠Guided sound, camera and combined workflows ⢠3D room view with useful dimensions and test positions ⢠LiDAR room and colour capture on supported iPhones ⢠Acoustic measurement, saved results and before-and-after comparison PRO ā ONE-TIME PURCHASE ⢠External measurement microphone with calibration-file import ⢠Wired line output and loopback latency calibration ⢠Impulse-response WAV and frequency-response export for REW IMPORTANT Camera dimensions and test positions are approximate. Coloured surfaces are not a photorealistic digital twin; hidden areas, glass and mirrors can leave gaps. Acoustic arrival times can include channel-processing delays. A smaller left/right difference alone does not guarantee better sound. Use repeat measurements and your listening impression to decide. Absolute acoustic distances require a valid latency calibration. An iPhone and a connected stereo system are needed for acoustic assessment. The iPhone-only playback option is a function test. Start at a moderate volume. No account, advertising or tracking. Measurement and room data are processed and saved on your device; you choose whether to share exports.

Redlined is an iPhone audio recorder for DJ sets. Record from the built-in microphone or a supported connected audio input. Choose AAC, 24-bit WAV, or 32-bit float WAV. Watch live input levels and keep an active recording going in the background, with a Live Activity showing its status and elapsed time. Your local library keeps your recordings together. Add titles, dates, notes, and cover artwork; play, duplicate, export, or trim supported files into a separate copy. Import audio from Files and work with a local copy. Free recording supports any number of sets up to 30 minutes each. Redlined Unlimited is a one-time purchase that removes the per-recording time limit. All saved recordings remain available without a purchase. Compatibility depends on your iPhone and recording interface. Make a short test recording and listen back to confirm your setup. Storage, device, and file-format limits still apply.

Verdict
Speaker Positioning and Redlined are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters ā price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them ā neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
