iPhone 18 Pro Frequency Response Graph

Measured: iPhone 18 Pro microphone frequency response and directivity

Leave a comment

Frequency Response I measured the frequency response of the iPhone 18 Pro microphone by positioning a lab-grade reference microphone (PCB model 377C01 connected to model 426A14 phantom-powered preamp) 0.5 mm away from the phone (facing the mic) in our anechoic chamber. The reference mic was connected directly to input 1 of an RME ADI-2 Pro FS R dual channel USB interface (A Mackie phantom power supply was used to power the mic preamp). 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 ADI-2 Pro. The response between the 2 microphones was measured with SignalScope’s Dual FFT Analyzer […]

SignalScope X 13.1 Adds Support for miniDSP EARS Pro

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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.

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

Leave a comment

SignalScope XM 13 Is Available Now Version 13 represents a major upgrade, matching the tools and features of the recently released SignalScope X 13. The major difference between the 2 apps is that SignalScope XM is a Mac-only application that can be downloaded outside Apple’s App Store directly from FaberAcoustical.com. Despite the significant upgrades to SignalScope XM 13, existing version 12 licenses work in the new version as well as the old, which makes this a free upgrade for current license holders. Why Choose SignalScope XM vs SignalScope X? SignalScope XM provides a Mac-only perpetual license solution for individuals, schools, and businesses at a reduced cost compared to SignalScope X’s cross-platform licenses. App downloads and license purchases can be made […]
