 Topic: Cheap RTA SetupPosted: 27 April 2015 at 7:42pm |

Was trying to search for posts related but i couldn't find any.
Im used to using a Klark Teknik DN6000 with a K/T mic, (friends setup) but unfortunatly its being used at another event. Any cheap setups anyone can suggest for pink noise and RTA with mic please. Thanks |

Hi.
The cheapest method would be using a your computer. You can download Room EQ Wizard which, is a free Spectrum Analyzer and, purchase a USB measurement microphone. Best Regards, |

I use SPLnFFT for iOS, it is quick probably not that accurate (but I wouldn't like to put a DN6000 up against a HP analyser) my use of RTA is to compare thing not to measure them, so I am not too fussed about having a mic which a verifiable calibration track to the national Physics laboratory..
I have Sabines that do RTA and have a Behringer ECM-8000 (last used on a Violin
 ) but I don't use an RTA as much more than a guide, your ears have to take over at a point or Smaart for setting up installs etc... |

behringer ultracurve is a lot cheaper than KT DN6000 if you want a rack-mount unit rather than laptop

I'm struggling to find the link now but a proper white paper was done not so long ago and iOS RTA apps are usually as accurate as anything else you'd normally use. |

Thanks for the suggestions, I might have to consider buying my own ultracurve or something similar of my own.

Why hardware?
Get a usb mic, and not only is there decent free software (REW) but you can use usb mics with iPads via camera connection kit |

setting up 2 or 3 stages or more and delay stacks and monitor boths, something quick to carry around without having to haul laptops, mic stands etc would be ideal.

No selling your soul, much as OsX users are non-achieving window lickers, iPad is the back bone of remotes for pro audio, consider it an investment, poverty pads are great for kids but iPad is a handy thing to have...

hey
yeah there are some good apps for iPad if you just want an RTA and you can get little calibrated mic's such as http://www.storkz.com/dayton-audio-imm-6.html  While that would give you a decent, fairly accurate system that you could pink with, in terms of getting delays and things don't know if that'd work as well, much more accurate to do that with a dual channel analyser like Smaart or Systune. k |

AudioTools for iOS has a pretty good delay finder tool that you can use in a pinch, it's almost as good as any other impulse based result I've come across to be frank!
