01

What this can prove

The test can confirm that the selected browser input produces a digital signal and expose settings the browser reports.

02

What it cannot prove

An uncalibrated microphone in an arbitrary room cannot establish true SPL or isolated microphone frequency response.

03

Privacy and safety

Signals and analysis stay in your browser by default. Browser dBFS is not physical SPL.

How to use this test

Keep the comparison controlled.

  1. 01

    Grant permission deliberately

    WaveLocus requests microphone access only after you press the permission button.

  2. 02

    Speak at the normal distance

    Watch peak, RMS, clipping, waveform and spectrum without treating dBFS as physical loudness.

  3. 03

    Check actual processing

    Compare the requested processing state with the settings the browser actually reports.

  4. 04

    Make a short local recording

    Record up to ten seconds, stop the live track and play the temporary local clip back.
