Pink Noise Test Tones
These tones are intended for equipment alignment and are especially designed for
active speaker set-up. Track 33 is a 1kHz reference tone lasting 30 seconds.
Monitoring equipment should be set to a useful working volume and measuring
equipment set to read 0dB. All other tones in this section are at the reference
level. Phase checks are on index 2, where appropriate, in 5 second bursts.

33. 1Khz sine wave reference tone @ -14dB FS [0:36]
34. Pink Noise – Left channel only [0:27]
35. Pink Noise – Right channel only [0:24]
36. Pink Noise – Both channels and phase check [0:46]
37. Bass band – 0-200Hz & phase check [0:44]
38. Low mid band – 200Hz-1kHz & phase check [0:45]
39. High mid band – 1kHz to infinity & phase check [0:44]
40. High band – 7kHz to infinity & phase check [0:44]

Sweep Tones
These are intended for sweep response measurements and are especially useful for
checking system resonances. Track 41 is the reference warble that lasts 20
seconds. The sweeps are in one octave sections down from 1kHz, and in one octave
sections up from 1kHz – for easier frequency identification.

41. 1kHz reference warble for sweeps [0:25]
42. Sweep tones down: 1kHz-500Hz, 500Hz-250Hz, 250Hz-125Hz, 125Hz-20Hz [0:42]
43. Sweep tones up: 1kHz-4kHz, 4kHz-8kHz, 8kHz-20kHz [0:42]
44. Sine wave sweep 20Hz-20kHz [0:36]

Sine & Square Waves Spot Frequencies
This section is for recording and reproduction equipment line-up, analysis and
fault finding. The square wave spot frequencies are also useful for bandwidth
assessment and loudspeaker phase and time alignment.Track 45 is the reference
tone, lasting 20 seconds. All other tones in this section last 10 seconds. All
sine waves are at a reference level, -14dB FS. The square waves are at
–20dB FS.

45. 1kHz reference tone @ -14dB FS [0:25]
46. 60Hz [0:14]
47. 100Hz [0:14]
48. 250Hz [0:14]
49. 500Hz [0:14]
50. 1kHz [0:13]
51. 2kHz [0:13]
52. 3kHz [0:13]
53. 5kHz [0:13]
54. 10kHz [0:13]
55. 12kHz [0:13]
56. 15kHz [0:14]
57. 1kHz square wave @ -20dB FS [0:14]
58. 5kHz square wave @ -20dB FS [0:16]

Vocal
While the sound complexity of music is widely recognized, the human voice is
equally difficult to reproduce and a voice recording that one is familiar with
is a useful reference source. Before Sound Check came along, a good, unprocessed
voice recording was very difficult to obtain, especially under test conditions.
These 4 tracks provide that reference source and start with Alan Parson’s
spoken voice. The rarely available, dry, uncompressed voice of Luciano Pavarotti
recorded live, and Soprano Catherine Bott in a natural acoustic, together with
the dynamic voice of rock singer Steve Overland, complete this section of
valuable reference recordings.

59. Spoken word (mono) [0:58]
60. Tenor (mono) [0:56]
61. Soprano (stereo) [0:56]
62. Male Rock Vocal (mono) [1:14]

Instrumental
This section contains closely miked instrumental recordings without electronic
processing such as limiting or compression. They contain subtle transients which
define true fidelity and which are often lost in the reverberation and
processing of commercial records. These tracks are therefore invaluable for
assessing the transient response and fidelity of audio equipment and for
experimentation with effects units. These are original studio master recordings
and in some cases instrument overspill may be heard.

63. Piano (stereo) [1:08]
64. Acoustic steel-strung guitar – finger style (mono) [0:36]
65. Acoustic steel-strung guitar – strummed (mono) [0:40]
66. Nylon strung Spanish guitar (mono) [1:38]
67. Electric guitar – clean sound (mono) [1:26]
68. Electric guitar – distorted rock sound (mono) [1:20]
69. Bass guitar (mono) [1:14]
70. Flute (mono) [1:07]
71. Saxophone (mono) [1:08]
72. Bongos (mono) [0:42]
73. Tambourine (mono) [0:46]
74. Kick drum (mono) [0:19]
75. Snare drum (mono) [0:20]
76. Cymbals and hi-hat (stereo) [1:01]
77. Toms (stereo) [0:45]
78. Whole drum kit (stereo) [1:42]
79. Violins (stereo – 1st violins panned left, 2nd violins panned right)
[1:24]
80. Cello and violas (stereo-starting with cellos only panned right, joined by
violas panned left) [1:33]
81. Woodwind ensemble (stereo) [1:01]

Music Tracks
Extracts from studio master recordings, specially selected to asses the various
qualities of loudspeakers and sound equipment.‘Limelight’for
example, has a very even frequency and dynamic balance throughout the audio
spectrum and therefore is an ideal reference for overall sound quality. By
contrast, Luv 4 Luv contains extremely high bass and sub sonic energy and is an
ideal test for low frequency loudspeakers and their power amplifiers.

82. The Race by Yello [1:37]
83. Limelight by the Alan Parsons Project, featuring Gary Brooker [2:03]
84. Luv 4 Luv by Robin S. [1:03]
85. Seasons Of Our Lives by Graham de Wilde and Mitch Dalton [1:50]
86. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor.Daniel Chorzempa, organ [2:39]
87. Rigaletto transcription by Liszt: Jean Yves Thibaudet, piano [1:42]
88. Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky: Deutsches Symphonie Orchestra conducted
by Vladimir Ashkenazy [1:08]

Sound Effects
These sound effects provide extreme tests of dynamic and frequency range. The
steam trains, the sub machine gun and the Chieftain tank are historical analogue
recordings which have been digitally re-mastered.

89. Sub machine gun – Chieftain tank target ranging (mono) [0:35]
90. Chieftain tank: Firing – shell detonation – the target (mono)
[0:54]
91. Thunderstorm (stereo) [0:26]
92. Steam trains (stereo) [2:50]
93. F-16 and Tornado jets: flypast with afterburners (stereo) [1:04]

Utility Tracks
A series of useful tools – a left/right channel indent; invaluable for
multiple unit hook-ups, digital black for noise assessment, a tuning reference
and timecode in all three standard formats for checking timecode-based equipment
and striping code onto tapes.

94. Left / Right channel ident [0:28]
95. Digital Black – i.e.silence – all bits at 0 [0:32]
96. A-440 tuning reference [0:21]
97. EBU 25 frame Timecode 09:59:45 to 10:05:00 [5:21]
98. eft Channel SMPTE non drop frame Timecode 09:59:45 to 10:05:00 Right Channel
SMPTE drop frame Timecode 09:59:45 to 10:05:00 [5:20]
99. 1kHz sine wave at 0dB FS.(Duration 20 secs.) [0:33] 
Warning – This track is at the theoretical maximum recording level, 0dB
FS. 99.1kHz sine wave at 0dB FS (Duration 20 secs.)
THIS IS A VERY LOUD TONE - USE WITH CAUTION.
