Can I use on-line tones to set gain?

A lot of installations recommend using a fixed frequency tone and a voltmeter to set gain. Anyone ever plug in their tablet of phone and use many of the tones available on line vs. a CD? Would think this might be a simple way to get the tones you need for a one time set up.

Thanks, ML

Depends on what you use to play your music.
I have set gains with
- cd
- iphone
- aux-in

there is and app called RTA
I think it allows you to make cd's with given frequencys.
They also have a website I believe.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....net.rta&hl=en

Also does frequency analysis but I don't know how
accurate it is with a phone mike.
