Spectrum analyzer?

Can someone suggest some options for acquiring some form of real time frequency analysis to help with speaker/room interactions?

I don't know if it makes sense to buy or rent hardware, go the laptop/software route, etc.

Thanks in advance.

If your equalization requirement at some frequency is a "cut" rather than a "boost" the "feedback destroyer" function of the DEQ2496 can do 1/10 octave resolution.

Actually the DEQ2496 can simultaneously implement several sharp (1/10 octave) notches, several broad (multi-octave parametric equalizer) curves, and the 1/3 octave (31 band) graphic equalizer. It does not chew gum.

Kr4...The Behringer DEQ2496 autoequalization process gives the user a choice of FAST, MID, and SLOW response. Doesn't this answer your point about delayed reflections?

I use the FAST so as to quickly find the appropriate curve, and then switch to SLOW for the final tweak.

I have no experience with the Behringer. Does it show you a time-decay response?

Kr4... No. But what would you do about it if it did?
