AI Diagnostic | SonaVyx

SonaVyx AI Diagnostic transforms raw measurement data into actionable intelligence. Feed it frequency response curves, phase plots, coherence data, or even raw JSON from third-party analyzers, and within seconds the diagnostic engine identifies the problems hiding in your system, ranks them by impact, and tells you exactly how to fix them. Whether you are commissioning a corporate AV installation, troubleshooting a touring PA, or tuning a house of worship system, this tool accelerates the measure-diagnose-correct loop that defines professional sound system optimization.

System Health Score

The centerpiece of every diagnostic report is the System Health Score -- a single 0-to-100 number derived from five weighted categories. Frequency Balance examines how flat and even the magnitude response is across the audible spectrum, penalizing excessive peaks and dips. Phase Alignment checks for destructive interference between drivers, speaker zones, or signal paths. Coverage evaluates consistency when multiple measurement positions are available. Noise Floor assesses the system's signal-to-noise ratio at rest. RT60 analyzes reverberation time and its impact on speech intelligibility and music clarity. Each category receives its own sub-score, so you can instantly identify which aspect of the system needs the most attention.

Problem Detection by Severity

Below the scores, every detected issue appears as a card color-coded by severity. Critical problems (red) represent conditions that must be fixed immediately: a blown driver, a phase-reversed cable, feedback-prone resonances, or a clipping amplifier stage. Warnings (amber) degrade performance but may be acceptable depending on the venue and use case -- minor comb filtering from a nearby reflective surface, slightly elevated noise floor, or a sub-optimal crossover point. Informational items (blue) are suggestions for further improvement that are not strictly necessary. Each card expands to reveal a detailed description of the problem and a specific, actionable recommendation. Instead of a vague "low-frequency issue detected," the diagnostic might say "Apply a -4.2 dB cut at 125 Hz with Q 2.0 on the main left output to compensate for boundary coupling with the stage-left wall." This precision comes from the AI analyzing the shape of the frequency response in context, not just checking whether individual data points exceed thresholds.

EQ Recommendations

When equalization changes are warranted, the diagnostic provides exact parameters for each recommended band: center frequency, gain adjustment in decibels, Q factor, and filter type (parametric peak, low shelf, high shelf, or notch). These values are designed to be entered directly into your system processor, digital mixing console, or standalone EQ unit. The recommendations account for the interaction between bands, so applying all of them as a set produces a better result than applying any single band in isolation. For the free tier, the first two EQ recommendations are visible; SonaVyx Pro unlocks the complete set along with a visual EQ curve overlay.

Two Ways to Provide Data

The diagnostic accepts input in two ways. The Session Selector lets you choose from measurement sessions previously captured with SonaVyx's Transfer Function or SPL Meter tools -- the data flows automatically without any export or import steps. The Paste Data option accepts JSON-formatted frequency response data, making it possible to diagnose measurements from other tools (REW, Smaart, ARTA, FuzzMeasure, or any system that can export frequency and magnitude arrays). This flexibility means you can use SonaVyx's AI diagnostic engine regardless of what measurement hardware or software you prefer.

Free vs. Pro Tier

The free tier provides the full System Health Score, all five category scores, the top three detected problems with full descriptions and recommendations, and the first two EQ recommendations. This is enough to identify the most impactful issues in your system and begin corrective action. SonaVyx Pro unlocks the complete problem list, all EQ recommendations, the full AI-generated summary, historical diagnostic comparison, and the ability to export results to the Report Generator for professional documentation. Pro subscribers also get access to the AI's deep analysis mode, which considers cross-parameter correlations (for example, how a specific phase issue affects the frequency response at a particular crossover point) that the rule-based engine cannot detect.
