Speaker Polarity for PC

★ ★ ★ Speaker Polarity Overview

What is Speaker Polarity?

This app is a speaker polarity tester that helps you find out if your speakers are wired correctly or not. It is designed by the same people who built the Audio Toolbox, and the polarity tester in that unit was known as the most accurate and reliable polarity tester available. The app works by watching for a proprietary "pop" sound from the speaker, and doing DSP analysis of the sound to determine if the speaker cone is moving in the correct direction.

Software Features and Description

1. See our other audio apps: AudioTools, our premier audio and acoustics test and analysis app, SPL, the professional grade sound level meter for the iPhone, SPL Graph, for recording SPL over time, RTA, a 1/3 octave real time analyzer, FFT, for detailed acoustic analysis, ETC, the Energy Time Curve app, RT60, for automated octave-band decay time analysis, and Generator, the iPhone signal generator.

2. Test your surround speakers, stereo speakers, PA speakers, in fact any speaker with wiring terminals on the back.

3. This speaker polarity tester was designed by the same people who built the Audio Toolbox, and the polarity tester in that unit was known as the most accurate and reliable polarity tester available.

4. Once you have the test signal coming out of the speaker, position your phone near the speaker (we suggest you flip it over to point the internal mic directly at the speaker -- the display will flip).

5. Speaker Pop works by watching for a proprietary "pop" sound from the speaker, and doing DSP analysis of the sound to determine if the speaker cone is moving in the correct direction.

6. Plus indicates correct speaker polarity, Minus means you need to swap the wires coming into the speaker.

7. We also have stereo and surround test signals available for download from our web site which are ready for burning to CD or DVD.

8. Use this app to test your home speakers, recording studio monitors, or as part of your professional contractor work.

9. You can also to record the "pop" test signal to a CD, DVD, or another iPod, and play this signal through your speakers.

10. This app is a speaker polarity tester.

11. Speakers wired backwards are the most common error in sound system setup, cause big problems, and are easily corrected.

Works Perfect!

By RewindTheImage (Pcmac user)

I installed new speakers in my car recently, and could tell something was just "off." I did some research on my own, and concluded it was most likely a polarity issue with the speakers. I didn't want to buy an expensive polarity testing device, so I looked through the App Store store and found this app. Trust me, it works. In less than 5 minutes, I installed the app, hooked up my phone to the car stereo, and tested all 4 car speakers individually. The test showed me 3 out of 4 speakers were connected properly with a positive polarity. I switched the wires for the one that came back negative, and re-tested it. Everything was positive and the music sounded full again. :-) To The Devs: Thanks for taking the time to make this stand-alone app, it really helped.
Works well, but a big buggy!

By DOCHUNGWELL (Pcmac user)

I purchased this to help determine the correct polarity for my DIY electrostatic loud speakers. The way I got this to work was to download the audio click from their download section and play it through each the app tested. This being said it seemed unreliable at my buddys apt when tested on exact similar speakers (we believe it was likely getting reflections from the adjacent walls). When I tested this at my house it worked like a charm…(since I have diplole the app I it changed consistanty when moved from front to back confirming it was functioning properly) ultimately confirming the speakers polarity was wired incorrect. There is hot much in the market for an inexpensive device to perform such a task, therefor I am grateful it was available as it made a HUGE improvment to my system!!! P.S. don't hit the information icon it will crash!
What an AWESOME app!

I installed an amp and upgraded speakers on my motorcycle. Took great effort to install everything according to my wiring diagrams. After it was all done my front speakers just didn't sound right. Same speakers as the rear but nowhere near the quality as the rear speakers. I took the bike apart to check my work. I did it right but using a multimeter I discovered that the original bike wiring was wrong. POS and NEG wires were backwards even though color coding and connectors were correct. Strange I know. I fixed it but something was nagging me about it. Was the factory wiring really wrong? Could it really be? Researching and double checking my thought process on what I discovered and "repaired", I came across this app. How simple could it be. 5 minutes after purchasing I verified that now my speakers are indeed wired correctly. All I can say is THANK YOU! I only wish I could have had this before I redid the wiring to show me it was audibly wrong at the time. Better late than never and the piece of mind is well worth the price of the app!!!
Awesome tool - Did EXACTLY what I needed

By Chad Kuske (Pcmac user)

I needed to test polarity in my car stereo system as I cannot find wiring diagram for it ANYWHERE! I knew polarity for speakers but not for the wires coming from the head units amp. I looked all over the internet for ways to test it, only found expensive testers and ways to test the polarity of the the app itself. I was able to use this app plugged into my stereo aux input and test each the app one at a time to confirm that I had correctly deduced the correct wiring. Can’t say how excited I am to have found this easy to use app. Most of the testers I found cost over $100. This app was totally worth it’s price.
