HouseCurve 4+

This is a great app. It helped me troubleshoot some issues with my Audyssey room calibration due to the proximity of my seating to the back wall, which was causing some reflection cancellations. It’s not “reference level” but it didn’t need to be for this purpose. The developer was quick to respond to my questions about hardware and measurement technique.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro and the mic is good enough to get the job done. If I spent the money on a UMIK I would be using REW instead, but this app was the right tool just to get some idea of what my room challenges are. I tried using it with an iPad Air 4th gen too, but it gave me very different responses than the iPhone, perhaps due to its large reflective shape. The iPad rolled off below 50 Hz and had an increasing amplitude response above 2 kHz. Since I don’t have a reference mic, I’m trusting the iPhone more as it matches what I expect Audyssey to have done in terms of corrections, and the ramping frequency response from the iPad seemed grossly wrong. It probably just needs its own mic compensation.
Lastly the free app clip is perfectly executed to get a feel for what it can do.

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.

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.
