Description

HouseCurve is a multi-tool for audio systems. Use it for room correction, adjusting equalizers, setting subwoofer phase, choosing crossovers and more. Features: * Sine sweep measurements * Display magnitude, phase and group delay * Compare measurements to target curve * Create and edit target curves * Generate room correction filters (PEQ or FIR) * Filters can be used with Roon, Volumio, miniDSP, EqualizerAPO, CamillaDSP and more * Average and history display modes * Measurement save and undo * Use with built-in or external microphones * Connect with AirPlay, Bluetooth, headphone jack (analog) or use externally played sweeps HouseCurve measures in-room frequency response by listening to your audio system play a sine sweep. Measurements are displayed on top of a target curve, making it easy to see where adjustment is needed. Multiple measurements can be averaged to fully capture how the system sounds in the listening area. With small changes and repeat measurements, you can manually tune your system to the target curve. If your audio system has a parametric equalizer or convolution engine, HouseCurve can automatically generate filter settings to match the target curve. HouseCurve can help with home and car audio system tuning, from system equalization and room correction to subwoofer time alignment and speaker placement. Visit housecurve.com for more information on how HouseCurve works and how to use it. HouseCurve will produce acceptable results with the built in iPhone/iPad microphone. Using calibrated external microphones will provide higher accuracy. The free version of HouseCurve can measure your audio system and display a magnitude plot (aka "frequency response"). Additional features, such as room correction filter generation, advanced measurement tools and target curve editing can be obtained via in-app purchases.

  • Works but use with caution

    Leap works. I mean it using the mic and our phones so I’m not sure how effective it will be, but I just downloaded it to play around well I can say he must be very careful with this app. Like me, if you have the volume on your phone and equipment up too high when it plays the sweep it blew 59K worth of Martin Logan speakers in my system. And homes so probably should have used a more professional mic, and definitely checked the volume levels. just thought I would throw this out there to others. This is not anything against the app. Other than they should probably put a warning, but more so people don’t play with the volume up too loud.

  • One of the best Audiophile Apps on iPhone!

    Originally, I really had no clue what this app was but after one week in which I wanted to use REW to tune my Hi-Fi Rooms, I decided to give this app a try and after reading the guides on HouseCurve’s website, I setup tests through my main system, and after much tinkering with settings in both HouseCurve and Roon, I can happily confirm and report that this amazing app has helped my Hi-Fi system sound better than ever!!!! Also if you’re annoyed about the $10 tuning payment, that’s all you have to pay, no more or less, and way cheaper than doing tuning with a measuring mic along with something like REW, and it’s a lot simpler to use HouseCurve anyways as well!!! Seriously, give it a try, and I believe you won’t regret it.

  • Worth every penny and then some

    This can be used with a parametric or graphic equalizer and you don’t have to buy a a microphone….you just use your phone. Buy it, you will love it!

  • Thank you!

    This app gives great information and the tutorials explain everything in detail. It’s so convenient using just my phone. I’ve learned a lot using it and reading the tutorials over the past year. I’ve used it on multiple car and home systems to find proper crossover settings, align phase and integrate subwoofers.

  • Pretty great app

    So far, the app has functioned quite well. There’s only one problem I’m running into, which I’d love clarification if I’m just missing something, or if this feature isn’t available I’d love to see it in a future update. Anyways, after I EQ my group of measurements, I receive the from 1-20 EQ frequency points tk help smooth the curve. Logically, each of these pints is at the frequency to help the curve maximally. Unfortunately, that prevents me from being able to apply the curve to my head unit’s dsp. Die to the static nature of my EQ frequencies in my dsp, I’m unable to plug in the EQ numbers @32 hz, or @58 hz etc etc. my EQ frequencies are like 30hz, 50 hz, 80 hz etc etc. You give us the ability to check exactly what +db or -db is being set at any frequency, so I could add that into the dsp, but there isn’t the ability to see the Q number for that frequency at the same time. I don’t know if that was overlooked, or it’s a limitation of thr soft ware. But if that could be added it would be helpful to everyone who can’t add specific frequencies until the dsp, and are forced to stick to the ones provided. Thank you

  • Astounding results

    Combine this with Equalizer APO, Peace Equalizer, and UMIK-1. That’s all you need.

  • Game changer

    This is a great addition to Roon! Room correct any Roon zone with your iphone or ipad, and then create filters to be used for Roon room correction in the app. I just used this to tune my main system and my desktop setup. The desktop filters made the speakers brand new again. The other cool things is, even though Sonos has Trueplay tuning, you can still use this to tune things further. Since this does not do any positioning/delays/etc it makes the Sonos tune better for audio, but leaves the Trueplay tuning intact. Roon is not cheap, but it is worth it for having room correction for all of your connected systems, forever, even as you updgrade your equipment over time. HouseCurve is a no brainer. Probably the most surpising finds for me in a long time.

    spemt 15 min playing the test tone and kept getting couldnt detect signal. all volumes and various device placement. going to ask for refund. 2 stars for trying to be positive about situation

  • Should have watched the video guide

    It took me 10 minutes to figure out that I need to connect my ipad to the speakers to play the measurement sine sound. After that is done, and load the new profile into Soundsource on my mac. The sound is so much better. Before this app, I used to EQ match pink noise using FabFilter Pro-Q, but this app produces a much better sounding profile. I do have dbx driverack pa 2 with rta-m mic, but that is for my live pa system. I use this app for my desktop monitor instead.
