SignalScope XM is Faber Acoustical's dynamic signal analysis, data acquisition, and acoustics app for Mac. The culmination of over 20 years of development experience on Apple platforms, SignalScope XM offers basic, advanced, and professional tool sets to meet your analysis and measurement needs in acoustics, audio, and electroacoustics. Download SignalScope XM for free, today, and try out the full suite of tools and features free for 14 days.
SignalScope XM requires at least macOS 11 and runs beautifully on Mac with Intel or Apple silicon hardware.
If you need to run SignalScope on your iPhone or iPad, take a look at SignalScope X. SignalScope X offers the same tool sets and features as SignalScope XM on macOS and similar tools and features on iOS and iPadOS—all via cross-platform subscriptions. A single subscription purchase unlocks selected tools and features on all platforms. SignalScope X is available via a free download on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad App Stores.
