Bass that "booms" until your head aches
Sound piles up between walls and a few frequencies get boosted 8–15 dB — which is why some tracks slam your chest and others lose their bass entirely.
Sound piles up between walls and a few frequencies get boosted 8–15 dB — which is why some tracks slam your chest and others lose their bass entirely.
The direct sound reaches your ears first, the wall reflections arrive 4–8 ms later. Your brain merges them — and the vocals slide off-center while instruments float around.
The note ends, but the room keeps ringing for half a second — the tail of one note drags into the head of the next. Drums lose attack, vocals turn mushy, busy passages collapse.
No microphone to buy, no cables to run, no decibels to memorise. Place the iPhone where you usually sit — Acouvero handles the rest.
Your speakers play a 60-second sweep tone — climbing from 20 Hz at the bottom all the way to 20 kHz at the top. The iPhone mic records the whole thing: the direct sound from the speakers, plus every reflection bouncing back from walls, ceiling and furniture.
From the recording, Acouvero pulls apart three things: ① which frequencies your room is boosting or burying (frequency response); ② where the reflections come from and how delayed they are (early-reflection map); ③ how long the room keeps ringing after a sound stops (RT60).
Not a wall of numbers — a plan. Move the sofa 30 cm forward. Put a panel on the left wall here. Cut 6 dB at 65 Hz on the sub. Each suggestion comes with a "why"; if you don't care, just do it.
No twenty-knob interface. No jargon pop-ups. Acouvero translates everything it measured into a handful of things you can actually do.
Room measurement used to be either ridiculously expensive or ridiculously hard. We think it should feel like a speed test — tap once, wait a minute, see what you're actually hearing. Free. Full stop.
