Audio Test Tones


The following file is a sweep from 22050 Hz. down to 20 Hz at a level 20 db below maximum CD leve. Sample rate is 44.1 kHz with 16 bit words. Note that the following file is a very large multi-megabyte file and will take time to download.

Sweep @ -20 dbfs


Here is a wave file that contains tones at a level 20 db below maximum CD level for each of the following frequencies:

   1000.00 Hz   0.5 Sec

Tones @ -20 dbfs


Bach quantified our measurment of pitch when he developed the equal tempered scale with 12 geometric steps in an octave. Thus each step is a frequency ratio of the twelveth root of two or about 1.059463094.

Scale @ -20 dbfs Scale steps from middle 'C' to the 'C' an octabe above in half tone steps of 1 second each.


The following impulse files were created for testing for delay. 'Pulse' consists of a series of maximum level, single sample impulses, both plus and minus. 'Wide Pulse' consists of a series of positive level of the shape -2, 12, -39. 157, 157, -39, 12, -2. This impulse does not generate energy at the half sample rate. These impulses have been scaled up to a larger size.

To set up the test, play the wav file, pass it though the D/A and then the A/D and record the file. From the captured file, any preechoes should be visible. It might also be possible to see postechoes.
