PC Spectrum Analyser?


Is it possible to turn a PC in to a spectrum analyser without spending too much money? I was hoping it would be possible to connect a good linear mic to the input of a sound card, and to do the rest in software. So:

- Does anyone know of good, real time, cheap or reasonably priced spectrum analysis software for sound that will run on a PC?

- What would be a reasonably priced good microphone that is linear in the audible spectrum?

BTW, I do also have a 20Mhz dual trace osciliscope here, but to the bext of my knowledge there is no way to turn that in to a spectrum analyser for cheap... Seems like with a fast, sweepable filter that should not be too hard to do though?

Being unsure of the exact use you intend...you might want to check out the ETF 5 software package, which alows you to do MLS measurements on speakers, and on listening room acoustics, etc. You can find more info at their web-site http://www.etfacoustic.com/. It may do some of things you're hoping to accomplish. Good luck!
