SignalScope X 13.1 Adds Support for miniDSP EARS Pro

Early this year, miniDSP released EARS Pro, a test fixture for headphones and earphones that, unlike the original EARS device, offers standard ear canal simulators (IEC 60318-4) and stereo output channels with a headphone amplifier (when purchased with the optional USB 2×2 audio interface). This makes the EARS Pro a much better device for performing dual-FFT-based frequency response measurements of both headphones and earphones. SignalScope X 13.1 adds specialized support for the EARS Pro test fixture’s USB audio interface and makes it so easy to get up and running with compensated frequency response measurements. When the interface is connected to your device, SignalScope will automatically read the serial number from its unique hardware identifier and download factory-supplied microphone sensitivity and […]

MultiTool, Perpetual License Option Added to SoundMeter X 13

Following a major update to SignalScope X, which brought MultiTool access to all Tool Set license tiers, SoundMeter X version 13 also shares internal perpetual license purchase options in addition to the look and feel of Liquid Glass on iOS 26. SoundMeter X is the successor to the original, and most accurate, sound level meter app for iPhone. What’s New at a Glance New Licensing Options Perpetual Licenses: From its original launch in 2018, SoundMeter X has been subscription-based for licensing pro tools and features. For perpetual licensing (pay once, use indefinitely), we published separate apps (e.g. SoundMeter Pro 2020/2022). One of the downsides to this approach was that there was no option for us to offer discounts on new versions […]

SignalScope XM 13 Is a Free Upgrade for Existing Users

SignalScope XM 13 Is Available Now Version 13 represents a major upgrade, matching the tools and features of the recently released SignalScope X 13.

Measured: iPhone 17 Pro microphone frequency response and directivity

Frequency Response I measured the frequency response of the iPhone 17 Pro microphone by positioning a lab-grade reference microphone (PCB model 378B02) approximately 1mm away from the phone (facing the mic) in our anechoic chamber. The reference mic was connected directly to input 1 of a model 485B39 dual channel USB interface. The iPhone microphone signal was routed directly to a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter using SignalScope’s audio play through function (with measurement mode enabled) and from there to input 2 of the 485B39. The response between the 2 microphones was measured with SignalScope’s Dual FFT Analyzer (on a Mac) with the microphones facing toward and away from a loudspeaker which was generating a swept sine excitation signal. The […]
