Frequently asked questions

A Windows desktop workstation for sound and vibration analysis, made by Aetheler Labs. You open a recording, see its spectrogram and waveform in sync, compare it with a library of reference signatures, and check vibration severity and fault frequencies.

Soon. The download will appear on the download page at launch.

Video and audio such as MP4, MKV, MOV, WAV, FLAC and MP3. Engineering data as Universal File Format 58 (.unv, .uff) and CSV or TSV time series.

No. A recording from a phone or camera is enough to start. The vibration tools also work on the audio of a recording. For vibration levels you can rely on, use a calibrated accelerometer. Order tracking needs a tachometer signal. Both can connect over USB serial.

You save recordings to your library as reference signatures, for example a normal machine and machines with known faults. Match from Library compares the active recording with them and shows the three closest, each with a match score, the profile name and a suggested action. The score tells you how similar the recordings are. Use it to guide an inspection, not as a final diagnosis.

Yes. Keep RMS energy normalisation turned on (under Calibration and Distance). It balances the levels so the distance to the microphone doesn't change the match.

Open a known-good recording and set it as the baseline. Turn on baseline subtraction, and the normal machine or room noise is removed from each test recording, leaving the defect easier to see.

They grade the overall vibration velocity into zones A to D. The result is only as good as the signal: from a calibrated accelerometer it follows the standard's limits; from a microphone recording, treat it as a guide.

No. Analysis runs on your computer. The built-in assistant runs on your computer too. Data leaves your computer only if you choose to connect the assistant to a cloud AI provider. See Privacy.

Spectryse launches on Windows. We'll say so here if that changes.

Pricing will be announced at launch. See Pricing.
