Speaker check

Speaker test

Check output, routing and obvious audible problems with known references.

Before you begin

Start at a low device volume. No sound starts automatically. Use Stop all audio at any time.

Speaker references

Four-part speaker check

Speaker references

Compare low, mid, high and broadband references through the current speaker path.

Run one reference at a time. Record what you actually hear before changing the setup.

  1. 01

    Low reference

    A 250 Hz tone checks whether the current speaker path carries a lower reference.

    Record this reference
  2. 02

    Mid reference

    A 1 kHz tone provides a stable mid-band comparison.

    Record this reference
  3. 03

    High reference

    A 4 kHz tone checks a higher reference without approaching the hearing limit.

    Record this reference
  4. 04

    Broadband reference

    Pink noise makes obvious rattles, dropouts and intermittent changes easier to notice.

    Record this reference

01

What this can prove

The test can document what is audible through the complete current playback path.

02

What it cannot prove

It cannot calibrate SPL or separate room, amplifier, cable and speaker behavior without controlled follow-up tests.

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

    Use the normal speaker path

    Keep the same browser, output device, amplifier setting and listening position for every reference.

  2. 02

    Compare four references

    Run low, mid, high and broadband signals without changing device volume between them.

  3. 03

    Note repeatable symptoms

    Record a rattle, dropout or missing range only when it repeats under the same settings.
