    Audio Test And Demonstration CD | Sound Check Productions

    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

    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
    70. Flute
    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.
