Genelec Launches SpeakerAngle App for iOS Devices
Here’s a $.99 app you can really use, whether you’re making music or just listening to it: Genelec has introduced the SpeakerAngle app for iOS devices.
You’ll always get the angle right with SpeakerAngle.
According to Genelec, SpeakerAngle stands as the first digital tool which allows anyone to correctly set and match the angling (“toe-in”) of both stereo and 7.1 surround sound speakers, in the name of ensuring optimum audio fidelity. Intended users include home theater owners, recording engineers, system installers and anyone else working to get optimum sound from any loudspeaker system.
The easy and intuitive SpeakerAngle is available now for $.99 at the iTunes app store. It was co-developed by Genelec and the NY-based mobile apps company AudioApps, and is compatible with iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later and iPhone Touch 4th Generation and later.
In the app, dedicated onscreen speaker icons move as the actual speaker is rotated, while number boxes below each speaker icon continuously display the angle of the speaker. The number boxes also change color to let users know when their speaker is angled within industry recommendations, and when it is angled to the same degree as the other one in the pair (i.e. left and right in stereo systems; front left / front right, rear left / rear right and side left / side right in 7.1 surround systems).
Detailed information screens provide a tutorial on speaker angling, as well as step-by-step instructions for using SpeakerAngle. Visit the app’s page for all the information.
