Faber Acoustical has announced the release of SoundMeter X as the successor to SoundMeter, the first-ever sound level meter app for iPhone.
SoundMeter may be downloaded for free from the App Store. The free download includes a sound level meter tool, which supports time-weighted sound levels, Lp, with flat frequency weighting and fast time weighting (LpAF). Additional tools and features are offered via auto-renewable subscriptions. SoundMeter Standard, SoundMeter Pro, and Pro Tool Set subscriptions may be purchased in increments of 1 month or 1 year.
Major additions to the new SoundMeter X include a multi-channel data recorder tool, for streaming sound information to audio files, and the ability to share a Pro Tool Set subscription with the new SignalScope X--a single subscription unlocks Pro tools in both apps. SoundMeter's Pro Tool Set subscription unlocks all tools and features of the SoundMeter Pro subscription in SoundMeter X and all tools and features of the Pro Tool Set subscription in SignalScope X. Users who have already purchased the Pro Tool Set subscription within SignalScope X will be able to access the Pro features in SoundMeter X while that subscription is active. An iCloud account login is required for syncing subscriptions between the two apps.
The SoundMeter Standard subscription includes access to more capable sound level meter and noise dosimeter tools, plus ongoing hardware support, such as periodically updated nominal microphone sensitivities for built-in microphones on Apple devices, updated nominal voltage sensitivities for select audio input devices, and automatic calibration for audio input devices that include built-in sensitivity information. The SoundMeter Pro subscription adds a whole or 1/3-octave real-time spectrum analyzer, a multi-channel data recorder, and a stereo signal generator. Additionally, data logging is added to the meter, dosimeter, and octave analyzer tools, and percentile-exceeded sound levels are added to the meter and octave analyzer tools.
Device Requirements:
- Designed to take full advantage of the iPhone X's 5.8" screen.
- iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
- Requires iOS 10.0 or later.
- 42 MB.
