This CD will allow you to affordably and quickly correct your sound system,
home theater, or PA system for accurate smooth response.
Due to the irregularities of most rooms even the most expensive high end
gear cannot provide accurate audio reproduction without adjustments. 1/3
Octave Pink Noise, used in conjunction with an SPL ( sound pressure
level ) meter, is a quick and inexpensive option to high dollar sound
analyzation equipment such as audio spectrum analyzers and calibrated
microphones.
Due to numerous customer requests, primarily home audio and home theater
enthusiasts, I've created the "1/3 octave PINK NOISE" test cd. This CD was
designed and tested for use with the Radio Shack SPL although other
meters will work just fine.
Each track contains third octave pink noise filtered at common center
frequencies. To align your audio system you must have ability to adjust groups
of frequencies via an audio equalizer whether integrated with your
amplifier or via external components. Many inexpensive home sound systems
have a simple 'bass' and 'treble' control which is insufficient
to align your sound system but you can still analyze the system as an aid
in making a purchasing decision.
