Just thought I would see if there was any out there that were ok to use with built in mic on iPhone - wanted to ask you folks that have used them- thanks

Studio six would be my choice.

I use Studio Six Digital for SPL.  For RTA I like Spectrum Analyzer by Onyx from the App Store.  Been using it for a few years and find it helpful for spot checks around a venue.

What measurements do you need, and how are you getting signals into the iThingy?

for simple measurements the iPhone mic is fine.  This is a Better solution for real recording.

That can work well for recording, but generally for measurements you want an omni mic.

I have never seen any "measurement mic" that has any pattern besides omni.

In order to get directionality, that means there is some cancellation going on (just like with loudspeakers that don't have physical controls), so the sound with a directional mic is not as accurate as an omni.

Directional mics are not sensitive to low frequencies over distance.
The proximity effect works both ways, directional mics have a certain distance from the source where they are «linear. Beyond that they pick up less low frequencies and closer than that they pick up more.

We still don't know what he wants to measure so suggesting tools seems premature.

We still don't know what he wants to measure so suggesting tools seems premature.

Or why he wants to measure.

Knowing what you want to do first is key.  THEN you search for the tools to do the job.

For example, maybe a distance measuring tool would be the best tool for the job (to guess at delay times)

For example, I use a couple of software based "measurement platforms" and some hardware based ones.

It all comes down to "What am I hear to do?".  Then I look for the best tool that I have for THAT particular situation.

A different situation would require a different tool, or maybe a different tool would be better.

One size does not fit all.
