RE: programs for testing speaker response

I wanted to let everyone know what I ended up with for speaker testing. This rig works for my purposes, but may not be powerful enough for others. I bought a Dayton Audio iMM-6 calibrated microphone from Parts Express. Currently listed for $16.25 each. It plugs into an i-pad or i-phone.I downloaded a program called "Audio Tools" from the Apple app store for $9.95. I downloaded the individual calibration file for the microphone. So far I have only used the RTA, which measures octave or 1/3 octave segments and has adjustable decay times. Using the pink noise track from a Stereophile test CD, I have been looking at my speaker response at different distances from the speakers. 1/3 octave may not be fine enough for some, but works for me. I will be trying the built in pink noise generator and the FFT measuring tool in the near future. The Audio Tools app has a number of different programs related to audio measurement, some of which are available by in-app purchase. Highly recommended, especially for the price.
