Spectrum analyzer?


Can someone suggest some options for acquiring some form of real time frequency analysis to help with speaker/room interactions?

I don't know if it makes sense to buy or rent hardware, go the laptop/software route, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Depends on your needs. In general, RTA is not the best tool for speaker/room interactions. The starting place for RTA is TrueRTA.

However, the best combination of capability and price is RoomEQ Wizard which is a freeware program. You will need a mic, a preamp/soundcard and a PC, though.

There are other options if you have specific requirements.

The spectrum analyser in the Behringer DEQ2496 will do the job for about $350 (including the microphone). 1/3 octave.
What's more, it can fix your problems once you have figured out what they are.
