TEST SIGNALS

ALL THE FOLLOWING TEST SIGNALS ARE MP3 AND SHOW A DURATION OF 10 SEC

These signals are intended for testing of equipment, you could either copy them to an MP3 player or burn them to a CDThe mp3-signals have to be converted to <wav> format first, before you can burn them to a CD. Since 10 seconds are short, you had to set your player to A -> B repeat or multiply the signals before burning.

 

0Hz_dig-silence is a signal, containing anything at all. It is "digital silence". You may use it to determine DC-operating points as well as for determining noise figures from your equipment.

440Hz_-6dB_inphase contains a 32bit/192kHz, purely digitally generated sine-wave of 440Hz and a level of -6dB. Both channels are in phase. Afterwards is was down sampled and converted to mp3-format.

440Hz_-6dB_90deg-phase contains the same as the former signal, but both channels show a constant phase margin of 90 degrees electrically. It may be used for phase tests.

440Hz_-6dB_180deg-phase is again the same, but out of phase (180 degrees electrically).

440Hz_fullscale_20k2 is a signal for testing equipment in the view of harmonics content or treatment. It was generated the same way and contains a full-scale 440Hz sine-wave with a defined additional portion of 20% of k2 (880Hz).

440Hz_fullscale_20k2-5k3 is the same as above, but containing additionally 5% of k3 (1,32kHz).

440Hz_fullscale_20k3 is again the same as above, but containing only an additional portion of 20% k3 (1,32kHz).


Differential Systems and how they affect sound


On page 1 you see, how k2 and /k2 are integrated into their basic waves k1 and /k1. since k2 and /k2 show the same direction if inverted or not, they are detected as a common-mode-signal by a differential system.

On page 2, there are two examples of differential systems, which are widely in use.
