Description
HouseCurve is a multi-tool for audio systems. Use it for room correction, adjusting equalizers, setting subwoofer phase, choosing crossovers and more.
Features:
* Sine sweep measurements
* Display magnitude, phase and group delay
* Compare measurements to target curve
* Create and edit target curves
* Generate room correction filters (PEQ or FIR)
* Filters can be used with Roon, Volumio, miniDSP, EqualizerAPO, CamillaDSP and more
* Average and history display modes
* Measurement save and undo
* Use with built-in or external microphones
* Connect with AirPlay, Bluetooth, headphone jack (analog) or use externally played sweeps
HouseCurve measures in-room frequency response by listening to your audio system play a sine sweep. Measurements are displayed on top of a target curve, making it easy to see where adjustment is needed. Multiple measurements can be averaged to fully capture how the system sounds in the listening area. With small changes and repeat measurements, you can manually tune your system to the target curve. If your audio system has a parametric equalizer or convolution engine, HouseCurve can automatically generate filter settings to match the target curve.
HouseCurve can help with home and car audio system tuning, from system equalization and room correction to subwoofer time alignment and speaker placement. Visit housecurve.com for more information on how HouseCurve works and how to use it.
HouseCurve will produce acceptable results with the built in iPhone/iPad microphone. Using calibrated external microphones will provide higher accuracy.
The free version of HouseCurve can measure your audio system and display a magnitude plot (aka "frequency response"). Additional features, such as room correction filter generation, advanced measurement tools and target curve editing can be obtained via in-app purchases.

Ratings and Reviews
Wonderful App for aiding audio improvements!
This is a wonderful app that has brought great improvements to my system and enhanced listening pleasure within my room. With the help of this app I’ve been able to make tweaks to my system (e.g. adjusting speaker placement, tweaking the settings of my audio source, etc.) and then analyse (and reanalyse) the frequency sweep to see the difference it’s making.
Hopefully leading to an opportunity for improving the app, I’m finding at the moment (with the app installed on my iPhone 7 Plus) that a connection (via Airplay) to my Bluesound Node 2i isn’t always made... and then when I press ‘Measure’ it starts to play music from my Apple Music account instead of playing the sweep tone! Perhaps this is down to Apple’s heavy-handed software biasing audio playback to its own Apple Music app!
Is there a way to fix the issue in the app and make the connection more reliable?
Despite the above I’m still giving this app a glowing 5 star review as I’m confident any little bugs will be resolved, given the already high quality of the app.
Compliments to the developer and would recommend this app to all audio enthusiasts.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback! Some other users have reported that Apple Music interrupts measurements when using AirPlay. The common thread is Bluesound hardware. One suggestion is to try updating the Bluesound firmware. Disabling AirPlay Handoff on your device by going to Settings -> General (iOS 15 or newer) may also help. Feel free to reach out to me at support@housecurve.com for additional help.
Fixed my tiny room. Stunning app.
Quite stunned by the difference this app has made. An app and my phone was all it took and within a very short time my listening experience has been utterly transformed to something amazing.
Awesome App
This is a great and low cost App to run multiple sound optimisations and room corrections. With few enhancements in the plot multi-curve visualisation section it will become even better.
Kudos to the team that created this and supporting it!
