Hi all,
This is probably a noob question, but does software exist that can say, play a frequency sweep through my speakers, capture the result through a microphone, then analyze the SPL vs. frequency response of my entire sound system?
It seems to me this would be a very useful tool to determine the settings for a software EQ to ensure that the entire amp/speaker system produces an even response. Of course, its accuracy would depend on the microphone quality.
Thoughts/comments?

Yes. Now built onto most HT receivers...MultEQ from Audyssey - Balanced Sound - Automatically Customizes Home Theater System | Audyssey
Don't know if you can get it stand-alone.
There are other devices as well.
And this one is free REW - Room EQ Wizard Home Page

Yes,I use,RewV5 as well it is a great program !
I also use,
HOLM Acoustics
Virtual analyzer 2011,
Visual Analyser 2011 XE
True Audio,
TrueRTA Audio Spectrum Analyzer Software
Audacity is very useful,
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
Wavespectra 1.4E,the link is some where in these threads.
It is an old progarm so it is difficult to find.
But its FFT and scope displays work great but it is only 16 bit I believe.
It has always worked flawless for me.
here is a bunch more,
Spectrum - Software: Spectrum analyzers
The ones that I had mentioned are free.
There are many free VST types that I use as well should you decide to go that route all working realtime.
I also recently descovered this one as well just last night and it is an awesome program!

MI.7z.
I use all of these and are the main ones that I use.
Each has it's own good and bad points but they all work good and produce the same data consistently between them.
enjoy !!!
