Owned a lot of Test Gear over the years – AudioTools - dB, Sound & Audio Review

110% supportive of AudioTools. I am finally retired, and one of the only test setups I still own is AudioTools. The other is SysTune from AFMG, which is for working with live sound and systems commissioning. I believe my first test meter was a 10-Band from Gold-Line, or maybe Ivie (actually it really sort of was using a Sinclair Scientific Calculator with built-in simple BASIC to work with the Prohs Cluster Computer). I went thru all of the main Ivie products, products from Neutrik and Klark-Teknik (and software from Altec, E-V, EAW, Bose, etc.), The TEF analyzers, beginning with the TEF12 (gosh it was a heavy sucker) up to the TEF20, EASE (but not EASERA), EASE SysTune, the Terrasonde units(which ended up and then died at Sencore - my last was the Sencore 495), and finally the whole AudioTools Suite (never go out unprepared). I’d have used AudioTools and SysTune from Day One if they had been available back then. AudioTools has been easy to use, support has been fast to respond (every one of those products above needed support as well), and quick to bring new tools to market. I was never an Apple fan, and cringed when I bought an iPad, but it is an easy fit with the AT product. It’s just those continual Apple Updates that always break something, somewhere. If I had all my wishes come true, I’d like to have seen Andrew come up with Android and PC versions, but I am fully aware of why this would be an ongoing nightmare and enormously unprofitable or wildly expensive. The AudioTools Suite would be right there in the top systems or software I’d recommend, that you could carry light, and use easily and with confidence. DO read the manual and all of the relevant HELP files as you learn to use the product. Sometimes you need to learn the science first, before you can understand the measurements.
