Studio monitors, desktop speakers, a favorite pair of headphones. Spectra corrects how each one actually sounds, room and all for speakers, model by model for headphones, in real time. Same Mac, same gear, finally dialed in.
Spectra installs as your Mac's audio output, so every app is corrected system-wide, in 64-bit float. Not a plugin you add per app.
Walls, your desk, where you sit. It all reshapes the sound before it reaches you. Spectra measures what’s actually arriving through the mic in your pocket, then corrects the room back out of the signal.
Spectra knows every iPhone mic’s response and corrects for it, so your phone reads like a reference mic.
Correction starts wide and narrows band by band, re-checking the result against your target after each pass.
Every run ends with a confidence score and per-band deviation, so you can see how close the room landed to your target.
Calibration got you to flat: accurate, neutral, the room out of the way. That’s the foundation, not the finish. Tuning is where you color it back in with more warmth, more air, a little more low end, shaped to your ears. Start from a preset, or grab any band and move it.
Optional color, layered on top of your curve. Each one is safe to leave on.
A single macro tilts the whole response along the spectrum, from cozy and warm to open and bright, without touching individual bands.
