Sound Product Of The Year, RF Monitoring: Wavetool v2

The top products of the past year that are our in the market are here once again, chosen by our panels of prestigious judges in three categories: lighting, projection, and sound.

Wavetool is an audio monitoring app that helps engineers do things like identify microphones with problems, low battery, or no signal. It works with the most used RF receivers, and users can stream over Wi-Fi right to an iOS device running the Wavetool Remote app, rooting out pesky disturbances in sources. One judge notes that it “worked fantastically on a couple of shows we’ve done.” With version 2 of the application, the developer has lowered the latency significantly, an move that another judge says “has proven to be an invaluable betterment of the former solution for monitoring wireless receivers.” Yet another judge calls it “a game changer.” wavetool.fi
