Professional DSP tuning, RTA measurement, AI coaching, hardware library, work orders, remote sessions, and comprehensive training. All the tools you need to deliver Fortune 500–quality car audio installations.
Purpose-built for every phase of professional tuning and shop workflow.

AI quotes customers on hardware upgrades and labor. Calculates ROI on tuning vs. cost.
Professional tuning requires different expertise at different stages. Amp selection is not EQ tuning. Compatibility checking is not crossover design. We separated each domain into its own tool, with its own training data and safety constraints. This gives you deep expertise, not surface-level guessing.
6-phase AI tuning pipeline. Executes a complete professional tune in 20–45 minutes. Three tuning modes — Full-Auto, Semi-Auto, and Super Tune — for every skill level and install complexity.
AI runs all 6 phases back-to-back. You watch the progress, approve the final result.
AI suggests each correction. You review the reasoning and apply it. Learn as you go.
Maximum-fidelity AI tuning powered by Claude Opus — the most capable AI model. Super Tune uses hi-res 2,200-point frequency capture, AI-driven problem clustering, and Levenberg-Marquardt non-linear least-squares band optimization to fit every filter parameter simultaneously against the perceptual target. The result: near-mathematically-optimal EQ convergence in a single pass.
Semi-auto mode uses a contextual bandit algorithm (LinUCB) to learn which EQ corrections produce the best ISO-226 weighted score gains. Suggestions improve over time as the system learns which changes deliver real results across different vehicle types and setups.
Before any correction is applied, a visual diff table shows the proposed vs. current EQ values — band, frequency, current dB/Q, proposed change with delta, plain-English reasoning, and a confidence score. You see exactly what will change and why before a single byte is written to the DSP.
Deterministic validator that cross-checks every band the AI proposes against the live RTA measurement, academy-defined safety bounds, and your cumulative EQ state. Bad bands are dropped before any byte reaches the DSP — ambient-noise-floor-aware audibility checks reject corrections that won't be heard, and hallucinated frequencies outside the measured range fail closed. The AI sanity layer that runs alongside the deterministic correction engine, so AI hallucinations can't reach the wire.
Two-tier AI engine inside auto-tune. Base tier uses Claude Sonnet for fast, accurate corrections. Premium tokens unlock Claude's most capable model for exhaustive multi-variable analysis — crossover, delay, sensitivity, polarity, and mixer corrections resolved in a single AI pass. Buy tokens on-demand directly inside the tuning session, no subscription upgrade needed.
One-click fullscreen tune dashboard for a second monitor or shop floor TV. Shows live score, current phase, channel grid, EQ corrections, real-time RTA bars, and DSP log — all driven by a BroadcastChannel feed from the active tuning session. Stale-connection detector flips to warning if the feed drops. Perfect for letting customers watch the tune progress without crowding the tech bench.
Every completed auto-tune is persisted to your shop's account with the full final DSP state — all channels, EQ bands, crossovers, delays, gains, target curve, convergence score, AI summary, and channel map exactly as written to hardware — tied to the original tuning profile. Reopen any past tune in the Full Report detail modal to review what was done. Per-tune thumbs feedback on AI corrections fires the community learning loop so the AI gets smarter on your shop's vehicles over time. One-click "Email Customer" sends a branded summary of the tune (before/after score, grade, channel results) directly to the customer — no separate email tool needed.
One-click download of a completed tune as a branded customer-ready Word document (.docx) or PowerPoint deck (.pptx). The Word version includes the score summary, frequency response chart, corrections table, AI assessment, and (for shop variants) the self-learning section. The PowerPoint is a 3-slide customer presentation — Cover, Hardware, and Results — perfect for the handoff or follow-up meeting. Pulls from your saved tune session or the active profile. Hand the customer a polished deliverable, not a screenshot.
Auto-tune snapshots all 31 EQ bands on each channel before any correction is applied, then measures the result. If a correction makes the channel worse, the pre-correction state is written back to the DSP on real hardware — not just cosmetically — so a bad pass can never stack on top of a previous bad pass. Every channel either improves or stays exactly where it was. No more compounding errors across iterations.
Every completed tune ends with a full review by Claude Opus 4.7 — the most capable AI model. Opus analyzes the final RTA curve against the target, the vehicle profile, the wiring topology, and the hardware power budget, then flags issues that could make the tune better — undersized amplification, missing crossover, polarity quirks, OEM artifacts, and more. Included on every tier (Audio Enthusiast, Shop Small, Shop Large) — not a token-gated upgrade. Findings appear right on the tune completion screen.
Auto-tune starts by reading the full live DSP state — every EQ band, crossover, gain, and delay across every channel — and persists it to the database tied to the tuning profile. The initial curve and starting point come from what the DSP is actually doing in the vehicle, not a pink-noise approximation. Result: corrections are smaller, faster to converge, and rollback is exact.
Super Tune and Semi-Auto group-capture phases use Farina-method exponential log sweeps — the academic best practice for in-vehicle frequency response measurement. Higher signal-to-noise ratio than stepped tones, faster than slow swept sines, and more accurate than pink noise alone in a noisy cabin. The same measurement quality used by professional acoustic labs, applied to every band of every tune.
