"This is a home-made computer-based FFT Spectrum Analyzer that I made for my studio. It's built into a 1u rack cabinet, the hardware is based on a MINI-ITX industrial mother board with a 1 Gb Disk On Module (SSD) running Windows EMBEDDED, a special version of Windows especially made for running just one task, exactly like industrial machineries and medical appliances. It has a write protections, boots up automatically when you give it power and doesn't need a mouse or a keyboard to turn off, just pull the plug.

The FFT display shows the R+L sum with peaks and average amplitude in a range from 20 to 20 K Hz. The whole system was assembled and pre-configured for doing just what it has to do. Hook it up and hang the display on your wall and you're done.

I made it for my studio because I think it's important to "see the audio", because it often happens that you hear things that are not there or there are things that you can't hear. Having a good pair of speakers and an FFT helps to make a better mix."
