Sound Check 2 is the definitive audio test disc. Created in association with renowned record producer, engineer and musician Alan Parsons, it is available as a single CD or in a double CD case with built-in microphone and sound level meter, calibrated from -15dB to +12dB.When used in conjunction with its third octave tracks, SOUND CHECK 2 forms an instant system response analyser. It contains 99 tracks of practical material compiled as a result of careful research and investigation into the needs of studio engineers, audio technicians, serious audiophiles, record producers and musicians.The disc has been designed not only toтhelp assess the technical performance of a wide range of sound recording and reproduction equipment, but also to offer the very best available musical, vocal and effects sources for experimentation and demonstration.

The levels indicated on Sound Check 2 refer to 0dB FS (Full Scale), the theoretical maximum level obtainable on digital recordings.Analogue equipment can be calibrated to read 0VU at the sine wave reference tone on this disc which is recorded at –14dB FS.Digital meters should indicate this level.There are no rigid standards regarding digital/analogue operating levels, however you can easily choose a higher or lower operating level. For example, if analogue VU meters are lined up to +2VU, then 0VU will represent –16dB FS.
By selecting individual tracks on your CD player while the disc is running, the announcements preceding test signals can be eliminated. This is especially useful for extended play of one track, when used in conjunction with the Store and Repeat or Continuous Play functions found on most CD players.

Sound Check - интернациональный стандарт для звукорежиссеров, музыкантов и продюссеров. Sound Cheсk 2 содержит специальные дорожки для аудио теста и дополнен уникальными оперными вокальными и музыкальными темами – всего 99 треков. Диск включает в себя: тестовые сигналы для проверки фазы и измерения амплитудно-частотной характеристики, вокал (произнесение слов, тенор, сопрано и рок), инструментальную музыку, звуковые эффекты, специальные эффекты. Sound Check CD разработан звукорежиссером и инженером Аланом Парсонсом и записан на студии ABBEY ROAD. Диск содержит все из стандартных дорожек для исследования и инсталляции, а так же для демонстрации качества продаваемой продукции.

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. 1 kHz sine wave ref. – 14 db FS.
34. Pink noise L.
35. Pink noise R.
36. Pink noise L+R & phase check
37. Bass 0-220 Hz & phase check
38. Low mid 200 Hz – 1 kHz & phase check
39. High mid 1 kHz - … & phase check
40. HF 7 kHz - … & phase check

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. 1 kHz ref. Warble for sweeps
42. 1 kHz – 500 Hz, 500 Hz – 250 Hz, 250 Hz – 125 Hz, 125 Hz – 20 Hz
43. 1 kHz – 4 kHz, 4 kHz – 8 kHz, 8 kHz – 20 kHz
44. 20 Hz – 20 kHz

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. 1 kHz ref. – 14 db FS.
46. 60 Hz
47. 100 Hz
48. 250 Hz
49. 500 Hz

58. 5 kHz square wave @-20 db

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
60. Tenor opera
61. Soprano opera
62. Male Rock Vocal

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
64. Acoustic steel strung guitar finger style
65. Acoustic steel strung guitar strummed
66. Nylon strung Spanish guitar
67. Electric guitar – clean
68. Electric guitar – distorted
69. Bass guitar

71. Saxophone
72. Bongos
73. Tambourine
74. Kick drum
75. Snare drum
76. Cymbals & hi-hat
77. Toms
78. Whole drum kit
79. Violins
80. Cellos and violas
81. Woodwind ensemble

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
83. Limelight by The Alan Parsons Project
84. Luv 4 Luv by Robin S.
85. Seasons of our Lives by Graham Wilde and Mitch Dalton
86. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor
87. Rigaletto transcription by Listz: Jean Yves Thibaudet, piano
88. Rite Of Spring by Igor Stravinsky: Deutsches Simphonie Orchester conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy

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
90. Chieftain tank: firing
91. Thunderstorm
92. Steam trains
93. F-16 and Tornado jets

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
95. Digital Black
96. A-440 tuning reference
97. EBU 25 frame Timecode 09:59:45 to 10:05:00
98. L channel SMPTE non drop frame timecode 09:59:45 to 10:05:00. R channel SMPTE non drop frame timecode 09:59:45 to 10:05:00.
99. 1kHz sine wave at 0dB FS.(Duration 20 secs.)
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.
