## Description

HouseCurve is a multi-tool for audio systems that overlays measurements on a target curve to guide tuning. It supports sine sweeps, real-time pink-noise measurements, and moving-mic measurements (MMM) to capture in-room response. Measurements can be averaged for more accurate results.

Create and edit target curves, generate room-correction filters (PEQ or FIR), and apply filters on a variety of DSP platforms like Roon, Volumio, CamillaDSP, EqualizerAPO, miniDSP, and Crestron DM NAX. It works with built-in or external microphones and connects via AirPlay, Bluetooth, or analog outputs. The free version shows a magnitude plot, while advanced tools and target-curve editing are available via in-app purchases.

## Review summary

HouseCurve is praised for ease of use, tangible sound improvements, and strong PEQ/export compatibility, plus affordable value and useful tutorials. Recurring downsides include connectivity problems (iPhone/AirPlay), upgrade nagging, limited DSP precision (exact frequencies and Q), and occasional misuse risks that could damage gear.

### Pros

- Very easy to use with a straightforward workflow for mic setup, sweeps, and generating curves.
- Produces audible sound improvements and helps fix room issues (bass dips and reflections).
- Exports curves to PEQ formats and works smoothly with third‑party tools like Equalizer APO, Peace, and UMIK‑1.
- Works with a smartphone mic, avoiding the need for an expensive measurement mic, while offering mic compensation.
- Great value for money with affordable pricing and useful features.

### Cons

- Connectivity can be unreliable, with reports of not connecting to iPhone, AirPlay systems, or breaking after upgrades.
- Upsell prompts and repeated upgrade requests detract from the experience.
- Limited DSP precision, such as inability to input exact frequencies or see Q values, making it hard to match some head-unit DSPs.
- There is a risk of damage if levels are set too high or misused, as noted by users who experienced speaker damage.
- Occasional setup friction or compatibility issues with certain devices or ecosystems (e.g., AirPlay).
