About this tool

  1. 1

    Allow microphone access

    Grant microphone permission to start monitoring your audio input.

  2. 2

    Check the volume meter

    Speak into your mic and watch the VU meter. Green is good, yellow is loud, red means clipping.

  3. 3

    View waveform and spectrum

    The oscilloscope shows your audio waveform in real-time. The spectrum analyzer shows frequency content.

  4. 4

    Record and playback

    Record a short clip and play it back to hear how your mic sounds.

  • The clipping indicator turns red when your audio peaks - reduce gain or move further from the mic.
  • Noise suppression and echo cancellation can be toggled in settings - disable them for raw mic testing.
  • The frequency spectrum helps identify background noise (low rumble) or sibilance (high-frequency peaks).
  • Record a short clip and listen back to check for buzzing, hum, or other audio artifacts.
  • Real-time VU-style volume meter with dB readout and peak hold
  • Clipping detection with visual warning
  • Live waveform oscilloscope display
  • Frequency spectrum analyzer with color-coded frequency bars
  • Audio recording with playback and download
  • Mic settings: noise suppression, echo cancellation, auto gain control toggles
  • Multi-device selector for switching between audio inputs
  • Testing microphone levels and quality before a podcast recording or stream
  • Diagnosing buzzing, hum, or clipping issues with your audio setup
  • Comparing sound quality between different microphones
  • Checking that noise suppression and echo cancellation are working correctly
